From what it looked like, Mandragora had hacked into the bbs software (I had thought he was a sysop origionally), messed around with someone's account, rehacked his own account when it was booted, then uploaded a virus to destroy the guy's modem. And these Spectran modems are the nexus to all telecommunications! Without them you're lost! / 我在我的椅子中袖手旁觀而且驚訝地盯著螢幕看。 從它看起來像的，當它被踢的時候， Mandragora 已經進入 bbs 軟體 (我已經想，他是 sysop origionally) 之內砍劈,以某人的帳戶在附近弄糟, 再砍劈他自己的帳戶,然後上傳了病毒破壞傢伙的數據機。 而且這些 Spectran 數據機是對所有的電傳視訊的連結! 沒有他們你被失去! Remind me never to get Mandragora mad at me. The guy appears to be a master hacker. / 從不提醒我在我得到 Mandragora 瘋狂。 傢伙似乎是主人的電腦黑客。 Kitnit was true to his word, and sure enough, Zoltar came by, looking like the cat who finally caught the canary. / Kitnit 忠於他所說的話，而且當然足夠， Zoltar 經過,像最後捕捉了金絲雀的貓看。 "I get to go outside??" I squealed. For some reason, "silly" is the operative protocol whenever Zoltar and I are together. It's frightening how well we get along. / " 我開始出去??"我發出尖銳的叫聲。 因為一些理由,"愚蠢的" 是 Zoltar 和我一起的動作記錄。 它正在驚嚇我們相處多好。 "Yeah!!" he squeals back, "I get to try to brainwash you by exposing you to the wonders of Spectran life under the Spirit (and me of course)" / "是的!!"他向後地發出尖銳的叫聲 ", 我開始試著藉由在精神之下使你暴露在 Spectran 生活的奇蹟洗腦你"( 和我當然) "Where in the world did you come up with an idea like that? And why would the Spirit buy such a line of hooey?" / " 在哪裡在世界中你在哪裏提出像那一樣的一個想法? 而且精神為什麼將會買如此的一條胡言亂語的線?" He grins a Cheshire Cat grin, "Actually, it was his idea." / 他露齒而笑柴郡貓露齒笑,"實際上，它是他的想法" 。 * * * / *** At first I thought it was Mala who came to pick me up from my cell, but then I noticed that she was ever so slightly taller. She had a brooding look that Mala lacked, her green eyes made larger by contact lenses to correct her sight. Her eyes held an intensity that Mala lacked, staring at me with a chilling effect that made me feel like a butterfly about to be pinned. With a shock, I recognised her as S-9, the Spectran agent who had captured Keyop and myself, deducing our identities as G-Force members. She was Zarabeth, Zoltar's other sister. / 起先我想，它是來從我的細胞接載我的 Mala ，但是然後我注意了她是曾經如此的些微比較高。 她有了 Mala 缺乏的沉思神情,她的綠色眼睛藉著連絡透鏡變得比較大改正她的視力。 她的眼睛拿著一種強烈被缺乏,以到處使我感覺像一隻蝴蝶當用針別住的無情效果盯著我看的 Mala。 藉由一個驚嚇，我辨認出了她如 S-9 ，已經捕獲 Keyop 的 Spectran 代理人和我自己,推論我們的身份如 G- 力量的成員。 她是 Zarabeth ， Zoltar's 的其他姊妹。 Like the other LaTrosses, she was tall, and she made herself taller with heeled boots and long clothes. She wore long slacks and a waist-length cape. Her hat was a half-height top hat, from which her long hair spilled. It fell past her knees in a shimmering sheet. I'm jealous -- I always wanted hair like that. She went gloveless, and the sleeve ends of her tunic were diamond shaped, fastening to a ring that went over her middle finger, covering wrist and palm. She was very stately, with that controlled elegance shared by all of the LaTrosse siblings. Whereas Mala reminded me of a bird of prey, and Zoltar of a snake, Zarabeth reminded me strongly of a cougar -- lithe, strong, beautiful, and deadly. All of the LaTrosses had that quality -- you wanted to watch them, but you didn't dare cross them. / 像另一個 LaTrosses ，她是高的，而且她以有後跟的長靴和長的衣服使她自己更高。 她穿著了長的鬆長褲和一個腰部長岬。 她的帽子是一頂一半- 高度的頂端帽子,那一個她的長頭髮溢出從。 它越過發閃爍之光張的她膝跌落。 我是嫉妒的 -- 我總是想要像那一樣的頭髮。 她變無手套，而且她的長袍袖結束是被成形的鑽石，一個詳細檢查她的中指戒指的繫結物,包含的手腕和手掌。 她非常莊嚴,藉由那被所有的 LaTrosse 兄弟分享的受約束的高雅。 然而 Mala 使我想起一個鷲 , 和一隻蛇的 Zoltar, Zarabeth 強烈地一個美洲豹提醒了我 -- 柔軟的,強﹐美麗的﹐和致命的。 所有的 LaTrosses 都有了那一個品質 -- 你想要看他們，但是你沒有敢交叉他們。 She told me to dress in light layers, since I was unused to Spectran weather. I had dialed for a weather report previously, and learned that it was a bare 15C. As I pulled on a cardigan, I said she must be looking forward to summer. / 她告訴了我穿輕的層,因為對 Spectran 天氣我是不用的。 我已經先前為一項天氣報告撥, 而且了解它是赤裸的 15 C 。 當我在一件羊毛衫上拉的時候,我說了她一定要期望夏天。 She smiled, "This is summer. It's been an unusually warm one this year. We won't be having autumn for at least another month." / 她微笑,"這是夏天。 它今年被是一個不尋常溫暖。 我們將對於至少另一個月不在有秋天。" My jaw was on the floor. I spun around and dialed up the weather net again. Sure enough, record temperatures on this day. Even the tropical regions rarely top 25C. Good God, I thought.. What will happen come winter?? / 我的顎在地板上。 我快速旋轉在而且周圍再一次在天氣上面撥網。 確信充足,在這天記錄溫度。 很少地使熱帶的區域相等頂尖的 25 C 。 好上帝,我想。。 將發生的來冬天?? I asked her why this was so, and she said "The world is dying",
her tone of voice asking "Didn't you know *that*?" Worlds live
and worlds die, but while I knew this one was reaching the end of its
span, I couldn't conceive of what it meant. Spectra was a class-M planet,
just like Earth. It supported an immense variety of thriving lifeforms.
/ 我問了她這為什麼是如此，而且她說 "世界死亡", 她的聲音明暗問 " 你沒有知道嗎 *那*"?
世界居住，而且世界死,但是當我知道，這一個正在達成它的指距結束的時候,我無法它所意謂的構思。 頻譜是班級- M 的行星，正直的相似地球。 它支持了一個繁榮
lifeforms 的極大多樣性。 * * * / *** Perhaps Jason would have been interested in the technology of the planet.
Tiny would have wanted to see the food -- the first place he hits as a
tourist attraction is the local supermarket, to see how people eat. Mark
would have been content to play the protocol game. / 也許傑生對行星的技術感興趣。 極小的會想要看見食物
-- 第一個地方當一個遊覽聖地是地方超級市場的時候，他擊中, 看見人們如何吃。 馬克會是滿足玩記錄比賽。 Zarabeth took me all over the globe, showing me wonder after wonder.
/ Zarabeth 在全地球帶我, 成績我在奇蹟之後懷疑。 "A reclamation project," Zarabeth explained, then bent down to pick up a small chunk of soil. She offered it to me, "Don't worry, it's not dangerous." / "一個矯正計畫",Zarabeth 解釋, 然後彎下身拾起一個土壤的小大塊。 她提供到給我,"不煩惱,它不是危險的". She didn't explain further. I was left wondering what could be so dangerous about a lump of soil? I shrugged and put the soil in my carry bag, to keep as a souvenir, then looked around at the surrounding mountains. They looked as though they had been melted, for great ribbons of stone writhed down the sides, some looking like they were made of glass. Obsidian? The place had atmosphere: Hurt, dark.. I felt an uneasy chill. Something about it was terribly forebidding, like a warning gone unheeded. / 她沒有更進一步解釋。 我向左覺得奇怪什麼可能是如此危險關於土壤的腫塊事? 我聳肩並且把土壤放入我的進位袋子, 保存如一個紀念品,然後在周圍的山四處看看。 他們看起來，好像他們已經被融化, 因為大師石頭 writhed 的緞帶墬落邊,像他們一樣的一些看是用玻璃做成的。 黑曜石? 地方有了大氣: 傷害,黑暗。。 我感覺了不安的寒冷。 關於它的某事可怕地是 forebidding, 像一個被變未被注意的警告。 We left Nibihijash, bound for the seas around Tath La`an. There, we donned scuba gear and dove into the green waters. Tath La`an is a group of tiny islands, thousands of them, separated by stretches of the sea. Multicoloured fish swam in the sunlit water, delighting me with their diversity. We swam out farther, dove deeper. Zarabeth began gesculating excitedly. "Look!" she signed to me, "A milk beast!" / 我們離開了 Nibihijash, 準備前往海洋在 Tath La 的周圍一。 在那裡，我們著水中呼吸器工具和鴿子進綠色的水域之內。 Tath La 一是一群極小的島, 數以千計他們,被海洋的伸展分開。 多彩色的魚在被日光照射了的水中游泳,用他們的各式各樣使我高興。 我們更遠的游泳出, 比較深的鴿子。 Zarabeth 興奮地開始了 gesculating 。 "看"! 她對我簽署,"一隻牛奶畜牲"! I watched in fascination as the great mammal rose from the depths, passing us on its way to the surface. It was large, at least as large as a humpbacked whale, its flukes churning the water, tossing us like leaves in the wind. We surfaced with it, watching the spray blow high into the air, glittering like diamonds. / 當棒的哺乳動物從深度上升的時候，我在魔力方面看,在前往表面的途中經過我們。 它是大的,至少像一隻駝背的鯨一樣的大,它的攪動水的僥倖, 投擲我們喜歡風的樹葉。 我們以它升至水面,高度地進入空氣之內看水花吹, 燦爛相似的鑽石。 "Quickly," Zarabeth signed, "Be ready. When it goes, we go with it, very deep, see more things" She had to sign in baby talk, because I was still unskilled at the manual language. I had Tonola to practice with of course, the deaf woman who was one of my guards, but these things take time. / "很快地" ， Zarabeth 簽署 ",準備好。 當它去的時候,我們與它搭配 ,非常深的,看見更多的事物"因為我仍然是不熟練的在人工的語言，所以她必須登入兒語。 我有了 Tonola 練習由於當然,是我的守衛之一的聾女人,但是這些事物花時間。 The beast sounded, then rose out of the water, lifting us with it. We copied its movements as it dove, lifting its great, shapely flukes out of the waves to flick crystal drops into the sunlight. The wake of its passing dragged us down with it. As we passed into the indigo waters, gloomy with shadow, I worried about the bends. Zarabeth signed reassurance. / 被聽的畜牲,然後上升離水,用它舉起我們。 我們複印了它的運動當做它鴿子,舉起它的大師, 像樣子的僥倖從波浪輕彈水晶的下降進日光之內。 它的通過守夜以它把我們拖垮。 當我們通過進入紫藍色的水域, 抑鬱的由於影像，我為彎曲擔憂。 Zarabeth 簽署了安心。 There it was, in the gloom, Zarabeth's goal. I mistook it for a coral reef, but it was too regular, too symmetrical. / 在消沉中它那裡,Zarabeth's 的目標。 我把它誤認為珊瑚暗礁，但是它太規則的,太對稱。 It was a ruined city. / 它是一座毀滅的城市。 Crumbled, decaying buildings lay at odd angles, their windows long crushed
out of them. Tiny fish flickered in and out. Some of the buildings had
the same, ropy look as the mountains surrounding / 崩潰, 衰退建築物以奇數的角度放置,他們的窗戶渴望壓破離他們。
極小的魚閃動在和在外。 一些建築物有了一樣的, 如山的成黏絲的神情周圍的 We poked around some more, viewing artifacts, implements, ruined household suites, seeing how the people had lived -- and died. A few skeletons remained, picked clean of flesh. Some few were charred, the bones blackened and bubbled. Then Zarabeth indicated we'd be best to surface, before we could succumb to the bends. / 我們在附近撥開再多一些,看人工品，工具，毀滅的家庭隨員, 看見人們如何已經居住 -- 而且死。 保持的一些骨骼, 挑選乾淨的肉。 一些少數的被燒焦,骨頭使而且變黑起泡。 然後 Zarabeth 指出了我們將會是最好升至水面,在我們可以屈從到彎曲之前。 The lightening coloured layers of the sea gladdened me. I was happy to be leaving such a horrible place, glad to see the pretty fish who swam close to investigate me. I was petting (!) a beautiful magenta and lemon creature when my eye caught something moving off into the distance. I stared after it, certain I was seeing things. But then it was lost to the gloom and I never did get a clear view of it. / 那點亮海洋的彩色層使喜悅了我。 我是快樂離開一個如此可怕的地方, 高興的看見接近地游泳調查我的漂亮魚。 我正在寵愛 (!) 美麗的紅紫色和檸檬的生物當我的眼睛捕捉了某事進入距離之內離開的時候。 我注視在它之後, 確定的我正在看見事物。 但是然後它對消沉被失去，而且我從不確實有它的清楚視野。 We returned to the wharf and I looked around at the other islands, noticing how close together they were. Tath La`an had the same forbidding atmosphere as Nibihijash. / 我們回到碼頭，而且我在其他島四處看看, 注意如何結束一起他們是。 Tath La 被有的一樣如 Nibihijash 的可怕大氣。 Llangastram was next, in a desert zone. The sands with their oases ended,
looking for all the world like a beach upon which lapped the tide. But
this was no tide. This was a thirty-mile radius sheet of fused sand, glass.
The glare was blinding and my eyes streamed, trying to protect my sight.
Zarabeth indicated a section for me to view. / 在一個荒癈的地域中 Llangastram 是下一個。
和他們的被結束,在那一個重疊了潮之上找尋所有的世界喜歡海灘的 oases 的沙子。 但是這不是潮。 這是融合沙子，玻璃的三十哩半徑張。 閃耀光是碎石子，而且我的眼睛流出,
嘗試保護我的視力。 Zarabeth 指出了一個部分讓我看。 They were names. Name of species, plant, animal... More than.. ten thousand? At a wild guess.. Too many. This was the final piece to the puzzle and I sat down in the sand, dumbfounded, shocked and awed by the immensity of the truth. / 他們是名字。 品種，工廠，動物的名字。。。 超過。。 一萬? 在一個野性的猜測。。 太許多。 這是對謎題的最後塊，而且我坐在沙子裡,嚇, 震動和感到敬畏的藉著事實的無限。 I looked back at the oasis of trees and animals behind us. / 我回看在我們後面的樹和動物的綠洲。 "How?" I asked. / "如何"? 我問。 "We made them," then she explained. / "我們製造了他們",然後她解釋。 The chunk of soil from Nibihijash -- it was the site of a nuclear impact,
one which had disintegrated several mountains, replacing them with the
bowl-shaped valley, melting the faces of the surrounding peaks. Nibihijash
had stopped reacting to the Giger counters some hundred years ago, the
full lives of the radioactive compounds finally over, the compounds finally
disinterred into safe materials. / 來自 Nibihijash 的土壤大塊 -- 它是核子的衝擊位置, 一個已經分解一些山,以碗形的山谷更換他們,熔化的周圍峰巔的臉。
Nibihijash 已經停止產生反應輕便馬車年以前制止一些百, 放射性的混合物的完整生命最後結束，混合物最後進入安全的材料之內掘出。 Tath La`an is all that remains of the continent of the same name. It had been a major target, and the blasts had rocked the continent to its base in the magma of the planet's mantle, crumbling its bedrock foundations, breaking it apart, sinking it. A real-life Atlantis, leaving only scattered islands and ruins beneath the waves. / Tath La 一是所有的相同名字的大陸遺骸。 它已經是一個主要的目標，而且疾風已經搖動對行星的地涵岩漿的它基礎的大陸,崩潰它的岩床基礎，分別地打破它，沉沒它。 一個實在的亞特蘭提斯, 離開只有在波浪之下的離散島和毀滅。 This place, Llangastram -- the Plain of IceFire. It was not always a
desert. The names carved into the glass were the names of the plants and
animal species that had been lost to Spectra's nuclear nightmare. / 這一個地方,
Llangastram-- IceFire 的平原。 它不總是一個沙漠。 有雕刻的名字進入玻璃之內是工廠和已經被失去到頻譜的核子夢魘的動物品種的名字。 They took; now they gave back. / 他們拿; 現在他們歸還。 They had survived, but at an enormous cost. / 他們已經繼續生存, 但是在巨大的費用。 It was nearly a thousand years ago. / 它幾乎在千年以前。 * * * / *** Zarabeth took me to other, less staggering places on the planet. We saw the vinyards of Talos, the legume plantations of Za, the ice fishers of Upper Feidhleich, the dairy herders of Tath La`an and the coastal country of Nakaht. The last place she showed me was the rocky, chill cliffs of Magh Mha\ra, in Lower Feileidh, where Taigh Nan Ro\n was being constructed in the forests of Taighreach Mountain. / Zarabeth 拿我給其它,在行星上的比較不搖晃欲倒地方。 我們看見 Talos 的 vinyards ， Za 的豆類耕地，上面 Feidhleich 的冰漁夫， Tath La 的乳酪品牧人一和 Nakaht 的海岸國家。 那最後安置她顯示，我是 Magh Mha\ ra 的多岩石又寒冷懸崖,在較低的 Feileidh 中, 在哪裡 Taigh Nan Ro\n 正在 Taighreach 山的森林中被構造。 It took close to an hour to reach on foot. There was no vehicle track, no road, no means of reaching the site by wheels. All of the building equipment had been flown in by hovercraft, the Spectran answer to the helicopter. This would be Zoltar's new home -- it was plain he wanted his privacy. / 它在 1 小時的附近拿走路到達。 沒有車輛軌道,沒有道路,到達輪子的位置沒有方法。 所有的建築物儀器都已經被飛在被 hovercraft,Spectran 直昇機的答案。 這將會是 Zoltar's 的新家 -- 它是他想要他的隱私平原。 We watched as the workers installed the new sheets of transparant spiridium, that miracle of technology that would allow Zoltar to have windows; windows he needn't be masked to view. The house was still a frame, walled only by the sheets of spiridium, which would be covered in panelling. This was a great undertaking, the building of this completely Spirit-proof house. It was a small cottage, just right for one. / 當工人安裝了 transparant spiridium 的新張，將會允許 Zoltar 有窗戶的技術那一個奇蹟的時候，我們看; 他需要的窗戶不是戴假面具看。 房子仍然是一個體格, 被 spiridium 的張只有牆壁, 將會在嵌板中被涵蓋。 這是一項棒的事業，這棟完全精神- 證明的房子建築物。 它是一間小的小屋, 僅僅正確地為一。 Zarabeth pointed to the trees, one by one, telling me their names and their properties. The wood cut down to clear the space for the house would not be wasted: Some was being used in the construction of the cottage, some would be used to fuel the new stove and fireplace. There were many herbs growing wild in the wood: Some had medicinal properties (Spectra's medical system made use of everything from accupuncture to herbs to synthesized drugs -- if it healed, it was used), others were flavoursome, still others edible as vegetables, yet more useful for the preparation and preservation of cloth. Another greenhouse would be constructed, and another garden. A windmill was situated in the wind tunnel produced by a valley a mile over; it turned the generators, which produced so much power it supplied nearly all of the needs of the construction devices. It would be more than enough to supply the house. / Zarabeth 指向樹, 一一點之前,告訴我他們的名字和他們的財產。 因為房子將不被浪費，木材減低清除空間: 一些是被用於小屋的建築,一些將會用來推動新的火爐和壁爐。 有在木材增加野性的許多藥草: 一些有醫學的財產 ( 利用每件事物的頻譜醫學的系統從到藥草的 accupuncture 到綜合藥 -- 如果它治癒,它被使用),其它是 flavoursome, 然而其它食品如蔬菜,仍然對於準備和布料的保存是更有用的。 另一個溫室將會被構造, 和另一個花園。 一座風車位於結束被山谷一哩生產的風洞; 它轉了發電機,生產了它幾乎供應建築裝置的所有需要的這麼多電源。 它將會不只是充足供應房子。 We walked over to the bluff and looked down at the sea. The drop was
sheer, only one steep, narrow access way to the rocky beach below. Out
of the wall of rock spilled a waterfall of fresh water, from an underground

in the chill wind that blew off the billows. / 我們走到斷崖而且往下看海洋。 下降是絕對的,只有浸,在下面縮小通路到多岩石的海灘路。

Slowly more people are admitted. At each marker, long before we reached the cavern itself, we were interrogated, questioned by verdicator. They wanted to know if we were loyalists.

Then her eyes rested on me. / 最後,有騷動如一個年老的女人,攜帶一本極大又舊的書進入了巨穴。 她在集會之上注視出,出自 Zoltar ， Mala 的她眼睛摘。。 她微弱地微笑。 她看見了其他的人,明顯地她的判斷著名人士,對於她也在他們微笑。 然後她的眼睛仰賴我。 "An e seo am boirreanach Talmhainn?" she asked Zoltar in Lower
