RE: Chapter 35: The Tempo of the Abyss第三十五章:深渊的节拍

in CCC • 11 days ago

So Feng flees into a metro tunnel. This turns out to be an intestine containing a tram. He hides inside it and holds his breath. Then a greyish-brown octopus or squid appears, devouring everything around it like a jellyfish bite. Are these the protrusions in the intestinal wall?

What’s a tram doing in a metro station?

What’s your issue with ‘rotting sea kelp’? You’re not the first bloke to write this. Don’t you like kelp? It’s actually healthy, even if it does have a bit of a smell.

By now, it’s clear that he knows he’s a clone of a whole host of clones, but that clone still falls for a whiff of it, and his mind doesn’t make the connection with the clone’s mechanical voice coming through the loudspeaker; otherwise, that pre-programmed affection would surely have been erased.

Surely we can’t make any deep-fried squid rings?

Is the real Old Cheng now the monster, or has his hollowed-out body now been linked to a monster from Pan Asia?

于是,冯逃进了一条地铁隧道。这竟是一条肠道,里面还停着一辆有轨电车。他藏身其中,屏住呼吸。这时,一只灰褐色的章鱼或乌贼出现了,像水母一样将周围的一切吞噬殆尽。这些难道是肠壁上的突起吗?

地铁站里怎么会有有轨电车?

你对“腐烂的海带”有什么意见?这可不是你第一次这么写了。你不喜欢海带吗?虽然有点味道,但它确实很健康。

现在已经很清楚,他知道自己是众多克隆体中的一个克隆体,但这个克隆体仍然会被那股气味所吸引,而他的思维无法将这种感觉与克隆体通过扬声器传出的机械声音联系起来——否则,那预先编程的亲切感早就被抹去了。

我们肯定做不了炸鱿鱼圈了吧?

真正的“老程”现在是那个怪物,还是他被掏空的身体现在与“泛亚”的怪物连接在了一起?

First of all, thank you again for the Chinese translation! You always leave the most amazing comments. ❤️

To answer your questions:

That wasn't a normal metro station, but a deep underground industrial mining track for Pan-Asia's cargo trams! And haha, no, I wouldn't recommend making fried calamari rings out of a giant biomechanical white blood cell... it would probably dissolve your stomach! 🦑😂

I actually love eating kelp! 🤣 But in a horror story, the smell of rotting sea creatures is the perfect way to describe that creepy, wet, Cthulhu-style monster vibe!

Your analysis of Feng's mind is PERFECT. Even though he knows he is a clone, the 'pre-programmed affection' from his false memories still controls him. That is the true tragedy of a cyberpunk clone—you cannot trust your own feelings.

As for Old Chen... his hollowed-out body is now just a gruesome 'container' for Pan-Asia's twisted experiment. You will see what that ticking metronome is counting down to very soon! 🤫⏱️

(首先,再次感谢你的中文翻译!你总是留下最棒的评论。❤️
回答你的疑问:

那不是普通的地铁站,而是泛亚用于运输物资的地下深层工业轨道!还有,哈哈,绝对不建议用巨大的生物机械白细胞做炸鱿鱼圈……它可能会把你的胃腐蚀掉!🦑😂

我其实很喜欢吃海带!🤣 但在恐怖小说里,腐烂海洋生物的气味是形容克苏鲁式湿黏怪物氛围的完美方式!

你对峰子心理的分析太完美了。即使他知道自己是克隆人,“预先编程的感情”依然控制着他。这正是赛博朋克克隆人的真正悲剧——你无法相信自己的感情。

至于老陈……他被掏空的身体现在只是泛亚扭曲实验的一个恐怖“容器”。你很快就会知道那个滴答作响的节拍器在倒计时什么了!🤫⏱️)

So you do love to eat kelp, noted. There are plenty of other smelly things like rotten eggs or people in public transport overhere and the synthetic clothes... Not to mention all those badky smelling deodorants and whatever more to put in bottles.

So it's a countdown and not the #1. I am thankful for that, since it would be a nightmare if Old Cheng is Dr. Frankenstein at his worst and cloned himself (or his son like in the film AI) to "save" his sick world.

If it comes to trusting ones feelings: Feng has no feelings since he is programmed. Is his good nose (and bad taste) also programmed?

By the way, how come in this world women do no longer exist? I wonder if they all left and hide on an island like the Amazones did and live the good life, baking in the sun, tossing a salad, eat some kelp and grilled fish, instead of cyberpunk illussion food with the smell of chemicals and cigarette smoke.

At least you mentioned Pan Asia otherwise I would think believe this is about the duo Biden, Fauci and Bill Gates 😰

原来你真的很喜欢吃海带,记下了。这边还有很多其他难闻的东西,比如臭鸡蛋、公共交通工具上的人,还有那些合成纤维的衣服……更别提那些气味难闻的除臭剂,以及其他装在瓶子里的各种东西了。

所以这是个倒计时,而不是排名第一。对此我深表庆幸,因为如果老程像最糟糕的弗兰肯斯坦博士那样,克隆了自己(或者像电影《人工智能》里那样克隆了他的儿子)来“拯救”他那个病态的世界,那可真是场噩梦。

说到信任自己的感觉:冯因为是被编程的,所以没有感情。他那灵敏的嗅觉(和糟糕的品味)也是被编程的吗?

顺便问一下,为什么在这个世界里女人已经不存在了?我猜想她们是不是都离开了,像亚马逊女战士那样躲在某个岛上,过着惬意的生活——沐浴阳光、拌沙拉、吃海带和烤鱼,而不是吃那些带着化学品和香烟味、虚幻的赛博朋克食物。

至少你提到了泛亚,否则我真会以为这故事讲的是拜登、福奇和比尔·盖茨这三人组 😰

十有八九,万物都有自己的生命轨迹,包括翻译们在内。
祝你晚上愉快

Haha, your theory about the women escaping to an Amazonian island is absolutely brilliant! 🌴🐟 Maybe they are the only ones left who are actually enjoying real grilled fish instead of that synthetic cyberpunk illusion food.

You also asked a very profound question about Feng. That is exactly the tragedy of his existence—even his 'bad taste' and sharp nose are just cold codes running in his system, imitating human senses. As for Old Cheng... well, I can only say the truth waiting in the abyss might be even more twisted than Frankenstein!

Thank you so much for reading so deeply into the details. Your comments always make my day! 🍻
