通往永恒的诗：天堂还是地狱？
作者：布莱恩 Brian
As we go careening through the highways of life,
当我们疾驶穿越人生的高速公路时，
gaining momentum, faster, faster,
既获得了动力，就把车开得更快，更快，
the signs, the markers; We laugh.
至于那些指示牌，那些标记；我们嘲笑它们。
How could a sign tell us anything?
一个指示牌怎么能告诉我们什么呢？
Besides, who could read them,
再说，谁能读它们，
who would read them,
谁愿意读它们，
at this powerful speed?
在以如此强劲的速度行驶的情况下？
We are our destiny.
我们是自己的命运。
We make the difference.
我们能让世界变得不一样。
We are in control.
一切都在我们的掌控之中。
The signs try to stop us.
那些标示牌试图让我们停下来。
That's all.
如此而已。
We are in control.
一切都在我们的掌控之中。
Who can stop us?
谁能阻止我们呢？
The powerful make the difference.
强者能让世界变得不一样。
More power!
更多的能力！
More speed!
更快的速度！
The future is ours.
未来就是我们的。
What lies ahead is what WE make it.
未来的道路是我们成就的。
But wait!
但是，等等！
What is this in front of our faces?
这在我们面前的是什么？
Is it the highway itself?
是公路本身吗？
Or is it one of us on the road?
还是在路上的我们中的一个？
Can't tell if it is the road or....
无法判断这是路还是…
It waves.They wave.
它招手。他们招手。
Do they dare to try to stop us, the powerful.
他们竟敢试图让我们这些强者停下来。
Who are they
（他们以为）他们是谁，
but just another sign?
不过只是另一个标示牌而已？
Our engines roar with power.
我们的引擎满有力量地轰鸣着
Who can stop this power?
谁能阻止这种力量？
This sign...
至于这个标示牌…
we will run it down...
我们要撞倒它…
as our powerful beast roars down
当我们的强大的野兽（指车）咆哮着
on this meek and frail little sign.
压过这个温和、弱小的指示牌的时候。
We can see in its eyes.
我们能在它的眼睛里看见。
They are our eyes.
它们是我们的眼睛。
They are the eyes of the road.
它们是路的眼睛。
They are the eyes of the universe.
它们是宇宙的眼睛。
As we plow down this tiny weak sign,
当我们如犁田般碾压这微小虚弱的标示牌时，
his eyes become our eyes.
他的眼睛成为我们的眼睛。
Our eyes see from his eyes.
我们的眼睛通过他的眼睛去看。
The road we come from does not matter.
我们来时的路并不重要。
What we were is now not a part of us.
曾经的我们如今与我们无份。
The powerful beast has been taken away.
那只强大的野兽已被带走。
It roars with great power.
它带着巨大的力量咆哮着。
It was proud to have smashed the little sign.
它因撞毁了那个小标示牌而感到骄傲。
But what it did...
但是它所做的一切…
it brought us....
它带我们…
it brought the sign together.
它（把我们和）标示牌带到了一起
That little sign stood in the road
那个小标示牌站在路中央
and stopped the mighty beast,
拦阻强壮的野兽，
gave itself for us.
它为我们牺牲了自己。
Though the sign was small,
尽管那个标示牌很小，
its heart was the heart of the universe
它的心却是宇宙的心，
and we were amazed
我们感到很惊奇
when that little sign got up
当那个小标示牌站立起来，
from being crushed by the powerful beast
从被那只强大的野兽压碎中
and turned His back to the beast.
随后转过身背对着那只野兽的时候，
The beast was powerless.
野兽没有了能力。
The little sign won over that beast
那个小标示牌胜过了那只野兽。
It won for us,
它为我们赢得了胜利，
forever....
直到永远…
