歌词
Bill:
Once upon a time...
很久以前
...in China...
在中国
...some believe around the year...
据说大约在
...one double aught-three...公元1003年
...head priest of the White Lotus Clan, Pai Mei, was walking down a road...
白莲教掌门白眉道长走在街上
...contemplating whatever it is that a man of Pai Mei's infinite powers would contemplate ...
思考着只有白眉这种绝世高手才会思索的问题
...which is another way of saying, "Who knows?"
换句话说就是，鬼得他在想什么，
... when a Shaolin monk appeared on the road...
有个少林和尚走了过来
... traveling in the opposite direction...
向他迎面走来
... As the monk and the priest crossed paths...
就在他们擦肩而过时
...Pai Mei...
白眉
...in a practically unfathomable display of generosity, gave the monk the slightest of nods...
白眉几乎高深莫测的向他友善的点了点头
...The nod...
这点头礼
...was not returned...
没有被回应
...Now, was it the intention of the Shaolin monk to insult Pai Mei? ...
到底是和尚有意羞辱白眉
...Or did he just fail to see the generous social gesture?
还是他没注意到对方的社交礼仪
...The motives of the monk remain unknown...
和尚的真正意思无从得知
...What is known...
唯一知道的就是
...were the consequences...
后果
(Bill plays the flute)
Bill:
The next morning, Pai Mei appeared at the Shaolin temple...
第二天早上白眉来到了少林寺
...and demanded of the temple's head abbot...
要求掌门方丈
...that he offer Pai Mei his neck to repay the insult...
自刎谢罪
...The abbot, at first, tried to console Pai Mei...
开始方丈想安抚他
...Only to find Pai Mei was...
却发现白眉
...inconsolable...
怒气难消
(Bill plays the flute)
Bill:
...So began...
接下来
...the Massacre of the Shaolin Temple, and all sixty of the monks inside, at the fists of the White Lotus.
白莲教就血洗少林，全寺60僧众无一幸免
...And...
然后
...so began the legend...
传说从此开始
...of Pai Mei's Five-Point-Palm-Exploding-Heart-Technique...
白眉的五指穿心掌
The Bride:
And what, pray tell, is the Five-Point-Palm-Exploding-Heart-Technique?...
五指穿心掌到底是啥？
