歌词与中文翻译
Backbone Practice
脊椎试验
we are entering the operation theatre of the ramiliar morgue
我们进入太平间的手术室
the student nurses are making a lot of noise
实习护士发出了很大噪音
their voices echo from the bare tiles walls...
他们的声音在光秃秃的瓷砖墙间回荡
I improvise a fainting fit: "I cannot bare these voices anymore...!
我随时都会昏厥："我再也无法忍受这些声音了…！”
the tiny spineless spider, who really is a dog
这个没有脊骨的蜘蛛，其实是一只狗
has hurt herself - or did she get hurt ?- somthing 'bout her back...
她伤害了自己——她受伤了吗？-它的脊椎…
oh, does she need a new one?Torso-less she only does consist of legs...
噢，它需要新的脊椎么？残缺不全的她，仅剩着腿…
much like a crushed little cross, a tiny crucifix
就像一个破碎的十字架，一个小小的十字架
so cautiously she's stalking now across the palm of my right hand
小心翼翼它爬过我右手的手掌
merly a thin branch in the wind
风中细小的残枝一样
touching the wound... where i had cut my finger
碰到了我的伤口…我割伤了我的手指
i hand her over to the nurses, one of them - directed me by the teacher
我从那位引导我到老师跟前的护士的手中接过它
carries out the operation, for which i dont have the knowledge
开始手术，我并没有学过这个
one day everyone here must fulfill this very task alone
总有一天，在这里的每个人都必须独立完成这个任务
as it's the only way to learn and in the end become a master
这是唯一的学习途径，这样最终才能熟练掌握
yes, this means responsibility
是的，这意味着责任
and it's connected directly to stress and fear
紧接着就是压力和恐惧
the little spider has her operation on a table
细小的蜘蛛在她的手术桌上开始了手术
that is decorated like a forest, all with thicket and fir trees
桌子被装饰成森林的样子，到处都是灌木和冷杉树
and right beside the flashing lights and displays of the instruments
闪烁的灯旁边陈列着所有设备
so hear now of the very scene thet happend right before this (here)
我又听到了刚才那种要命的吵闹声（这里）
an elephant on the plane roof of a tall cathedral very close to the edge
一头大象被紧挨着边缘悬挂在平整的大教堂屋顶上
"climb down his tail, as if it were a rope!
“从它的尾巴爬下来，把它当做绳子！
have faith and confidence, belive that he will hold you!
要有信心，相信他会拉住你的！”
but the elephant is not anchored in the ground
但是大象并未安全抵达地面
yes, he might have the will to remain in position
是的，他希望保持不动
perhaps doing everything within his power to hold me
他可能也想做点什么来帮我
not to slip and fall himself...
但不能让自己滑落…
but in my opinion this is hardly enouth
但我看来这是不够的
can this be a question of trust, at all?
这是一个关乎信任的问题吗？
looking out of the window, while the underground moves down
就快要秘密的下降到隧道里，我往窗外看去
into the tunnel - a man, who has alrady passes the elephant-test, says:…
一个通过了大象测试的男人说：…
"fear must be conquered, boy!
“恐惧应该被征服，小伙子！
many of what comes up are merely old fears of death!
所有陈旧的恐惧仅仅是害怕死亡而已！”
"fear must be conquered, boy!
“恐惧应该被征服，小伙子！
many of what comes up are merely old fears of death!
所有陈旧的恐惧仅仅是害怕死亡而已！”
"fear must be conquered, boy!
“恐惧应该被征服，小伙子！
many of what comes up are merely old fears of death!
所有陈旧的恐惧仅仅是害怕死亡而已！”
