      The Pill
      Don't take it.
      不要服用它。
      It's a miracle and a glory and the greatest thing to ever happen, so they say, and it'll probably become the law soon that you have to take it. They'll have you swallow a little capsule when you're still a baby; probably at the same time you're getting your inoculations. The piece of the thing in there weighs only a few grams and will be plucked out of a little pool that will probably be installed in every hospital soon.
      有人这么说,它是奇迹,它是荣光,它是有史以来最伟大的存在;而且你不得不服用它,这或许很快就会成为法律。当你尚在襁褓之中又或是接种疫苗时,他们就会让你服下一颗小小的胶囊。胶囊的剂量不过几克而已,而盛放胶囊提取之源的容器可能将很快入驻每家医院。
      Those couple grams are more than enough for it to happen. Sure, you'll never get cancer. You'll live until a hundred and fifty. You'll have stronger bones and a more resilient immune system. You'll probably never need glasses or a hearing aid. If you lose something small like a finger, in half a year you'll have it back. If you lose a whole arm, in two years you'll have it back with nearly full functionality. It's the sort of miracle that's believable enough to catch on. It won't solve all our problems, and it'll even create a few more. Like overpopulation like we'd never saw coming. But it works and it's cheap and it's plentiful and that's all we need. Sure they can't quite explain how the thing actually manages to rewrite our genetic code after we swallow a few grams; but they promise the answers will come someday and that there are no ill side effects.
      区区几克的剂量就对生效绰绰有余了。毫无疑问,你将永远不会罹患癌症。你将活到150岁。你的骨骼将更加强健,免疫系统将适应力更强。很有可能你将不再需要眼镜或助听器。如果是断指之类的小伤,不出半年它就会重新长好。如果你失去整只手臂,2年内它便能恢复如初。这是个足够可信而被广泛接受的奇迹。它无法解决我们所有的问题,甚至有可能带来一些新的困扰。比如,前所未见的人口过剩。但它卓有成效,价廉量足,正是我们所需要的。诚然,他们还无法完全解释它是如何在服用仅仅几克后便真正改写了遗传密码;但他们承诺将来有一天会找出答案,而且它将不会产生任何毒副作用。
      It's from a 'previously unknown variety of starfish; but they won't even tell you that on the news. I think the story right now is that it's something they're growing artificially. These starfish live in the deepest, darkest places in the ocean and they aren't very big or interesting looking. Honestly, we've probably seen them down there before a thousand times and just looked them over. It just so happened that prick with the show about eating weird foods got ahold of one, god knows how, and thought it was a different kind of starfish and ate part of it and a year later he had that foot he lost back. I'm sure they tore apart his house and tested gallons of his blood and interrogated everyone he ever spoke to, but somehow they figured out just when the regeneration happened and eventually found the fucking thing. It had been alive when he ate one of its arms and I guess he took a pity on it and let the thing live in a tank in his house. Well, this led to that and eventually they brought up a ton of the suckers.
      它提取自一种此前不为人知的海星;即便如此,他们并不会在新闻中告诉你这些。我认为目前他们(告诉大众)的故事是,这种物质是他们人工培育的。这些海星生活在海洋中最幽深黑暗的地方,它们体型不大,其貌不扬。说实话,我们可能已经在海底见过它们几千次了,但却从未特别留意过它们。碰巧有个食用怪异食物的节目的相关人员得到了一只这种海星,天知道他怎么弄到的,总之他吃了那海星的一部分,1年后他长出了一度失去的腿。我确定他们拆了他的房子,抽了他大量血液进行化验,询问了每一个和他对话过的人,但某种程度上他们弄明白了重生发生的确切时间并最终发现了这该死的真相。当他吃下海星的腕足时那海星还活着,我猜他可怜它才把它养在屋里的鱼缸中。嗯,这正导致了那些事的发生,最终他们大量培育出了那该死的玩意儿。
      But here's the thing. Think about or technology and innovations; think about what they're for. Mostly it's to keep us alive longer, make us healthier, help us communicate better. What if, as a race, we'd already had the ability to communicate via thought? What if we were naturally incredibly hardy and long-lived? What if we started out having everything we needed without having to do a bit of work? Our goals would turn to keeping our world the way it was and simply enjoying things. With a mind so powerful it can transmit and receive thoughts with no effort, it stands to reason other amazing things are possible too. With that mind staying completely intact in even the smallest sliver of the creature, one has to wonder just what else that mind can do.
      但有这么件事儿。考虑下技术和创新;考虑下它们的作用。基本上,它使我们保持长寿,更加健康,促进沟通。如果我们作为一个种族已经拥有了凭借意念交流的能力会怎么样?如果我们天生身强体壮长命百岁会怎么样?如果我们起初就能轻易获得所有需要的事物会怎么样?我们的目标会是让世界以其原有方式运作保持不变,只是享受生活。拥有如此强力的意志的它不费吹灰之力便能传播并接收思想,这也解释了为何其他令人惊叹的事情可能成真。如果这种意志即使在最微小的生物体残片中也能保持自身完整,那人们可真不禁要想它还有什么做不到的了。

        So now here's the question. If you'd survived all this time just sitting around on the bottom of the ocean with this incredible intellect, how would you amuse yourself? What if that mind can wander and roam freely if it can just find something to carry it? What if as a race we made ourselves the bottom of the food chain just to ensure we'd constantly be taken into new creatures and allowed to see the world through their eyes? Is it really such a leap to think that such powerful minds could overtake smaller, lesser ones? No. Nor is it unusual to think that if such a race of powerful minds was endangered; they would use this ability to dominate the minds to defend themselves. That they'd patiently wait until their enemies devoured them, then simply displace the minds of those enemies and solve the conflict? I don't think it's crazy at all, and I don't think it's crazy that there's suddenly a lot more war all over the world. A lot research put into birth control and the 'accidental' release of that superbug that makes men sterile. We should be enjoying world peace but instead we're killing each other faster than ever before.
        所以现在问题就来了。如果你具有如此惊人的智能,但却在海底熬了这么久,那你要拿什么来解闷呢?要是这意志找到了什么能搭载它的东西让它得以自由漫步的话会怎么样?要是作为一个种族我们使自己处于食物链底端只为确保我们能不断被新的生物摄入并得以通过它们的眼睛观察世界会怎么样?如此强大的思维能够支配相对弱小的意识,这一点有什么奇怪的呢?当然不了。拥有这般强大精神的种族一旦遭遇危险,就会利用这种能力支配其它生物的意志,以求自保——这也是很自然的事情。它们会耐心等待敌人对其的吞食,随即轻松取代敌人的意志从而解决冲突?我一点都不认为这主意疯狂,也并不觉得全世界会突然爆发无数战争。针对节育以及使人类不孕不育的超级细菌的意外释放已经投入了大量研究。我们应当享受世界和平而非以更胜往昔的速度互相杀戮。
        Maybe they're not even threatened, maybe we're just a game to them. Maybe we're the hundredth race of beings these things have done this with. All I know is they don't turn you into some zombie from a cheesey old sci-fi flick...they let you think you're still in control; that what they want you to do is actually what you want to do. It all seems so natural, so right. Then we're in World War III and the only thing the bombs won't scorch clean is the floor of the ocean.
        或许它们还没有遭到真正的威胁,可能我们对它们而言只是个游戏。或许我们是被它们如此施为的第100种生物。我只知道他们不会像过时的科幻电影一样把你变成僵尸什么的……他们让你认为自己依然掌控一切;它们所希望你做的正是你自己想做的。所有这一切似乎都如此自然而正确。然后我们便陷入了第三次世界大战,而唯一不会被炸弹化作焦土的就是海底。
        Don't ask me how I know all of this, and don't take that pill.
        不要问我我是如何得知这一切的,也别服药。
