Roger Waters - Amused to Death
Roger Waters - Amused To Death
罗杰·沃特斯 – 娱乐至死
译者：@猫哥哥
（我多处参考了这篇知名评论《没有泪水可哭泣，没有情感可留下，这种生物令自己娱乐至死》，也请参考维基百科Amused to Death，本专辑的思想来源可以参考尼尔·波兹曼的《娱乐至死》，有趣的是波兹曼在自己的书里提及沃特斯的这张专辑，并说这让他提高了自己在大学生中的声望，因此自己很难否定他的音乐^_^）
（不过这并不是最完整的歌词，有许多极低音的对白和旁白，在歌词本中并没有呈现给大家，外国网友听写了大部分，可以参考牛人把Amused to Death里面所有信息都变成文字，我认为这对理解专辑内涵有所帮助，但碍于时间我不可能把这些零散的对话都翻译了，况且它们也不一定是绝对正确的。）
01. The Ballad Of Bill Hubbard
比尔·哈伯德的叙事曲
Two things that have haunted me most are the days when I had to collect the pay books; and when I left Bill Hubbard in no-man's-land. "I was picked up and taken into their trench. And I'd no sooner taken two or three steps down the trench when I heard a call, 'Hello Razz, I'm glad to see you. This is my second night here,' and he said 'I'm feeling bad,' and it was Bill Hubbard, one of the men we'd trained in England, one of the original battalion. I had a look at his wound, rolled him over; I could see it was probably a fatal wound. You could imagine what pain he was in, he was dripping with sweat; and after I'd gone about three shell holes, traversed that, had it been...had there been a path or a road I could have done better. He pummeled me, 'Put me down, put me down, I'd rather die, I'd rather die, put me down.' I was hoping he would faint. He said 'I can't go any further, let me die.' I said 'If I leave you here Bill you won't be found, let's have another go.' He said 'All right then.' And the same thing happened; he couldn't stand it any more, and I had to leave him there, in no-man's-land."
（以下为一战时期皇家火枪团的老兵Alfred Razzell的叙述）有两件事情伤害我至深，一件是我在余下的日子里只能翻翻账本为生，一件是我将比尔·哈伯德丢弃在了无人之地。“我被发现，然后带到了他们的战壕，但不久我听到了一个呼叫，‘你好，拉兹，我很高兴看到你，这是我在这儿的第二晚。’他说，‘我感觉很糟糕。’说话的人是比尔·哈伯德，我们曾在英国训练的人，是一个老兵。我看了看他的伤口，把他的身体翻过来，我可以看到那是一个致命的伤口。你能想象他处在何等的痛苦中，他浑身是汗。后来因为炮弹来了，战事逆转，使我能……也许我能有条路可以走，带上比尔一起走。但他突然对我说：‘放我下来，放我下来，我宁愿去死，我宁愿去死，放我下来。’我当时希望他能昏过去（那样就不必如此疼痛）。他说：‘我不能再走远了，让我死吧。’我说：‘如果我在这儿离开你，比尔你不会被人发现的，让我们接着走吧。’他说：‘好吧。’但他说的没错，他不能再挪动一步了，我不得不把他丢在那儿，在无人之地。”

I don't mind about the war, that's one of the things I like to watch, if it's a war going on, 'cause then I know if our side's winning, if our side's losing...

[Alf Razzell:] "Years later, I saw Bill Hubbard's name on the memorial to the missing at Aras. And I...when I saw his name I was absolutely transfixed; it was as though he...he was now a human being instead of some sort of nightmarish memory of how I had to leave him, all those years ago. And I felt relieved, and ever since then I've felt happier about it, because always before, whenever I thought of him, I said to myself, 'Was there something else that I could have done?' [background: "I'd rather die, I'd rather die... "] And that always sort of worried me. And having seen him, and his name in the register - as you know in the memorials there's a little safe, there's a register in there with every name - and seeing his name and his name on the memorial; it sort of lightened my...heart, if you like."
Alf Razzell：“多年以后，我看见比尔·哈伯德的名字镌刻在纪念阿拉斯河失踪人员的纪念碑上，以及我……当我看见他的名字时，我呆住了，这就好像……他现在是一个真正的人了，不再是这些年以来徘徊自我记忆的噩梦中，那一幕我不得不要离他而去的可怖场景。我感到释怀，从那以后，我为此感到高兴，因为在以前，当我每次想到他，我就对自己说：‘那时我还有其他可以做的吗？’（背景音：“我宁愿去死，我宁愿去死……”）这经常令我烦忧。现在看到他了，看到他的名字被铭记——就像你知道的在纪念碑上，这会比较安全，所有名字都在那儿——看到他的名字和他的名字的纪念碑上，这点亮了我的心，如果你要我这么说的话。”
[woman:] "When was it that you saw his name on the memorial?"
女人：“当你在纪念碑上看到他的名字时，那是什么年代？”
[Alf:] "Ah, when I was eighty-seven, that would be the year, ninete...eighty-four, nineteen eighty-four."
Alf：“嗯，当时我87岁，那是在19……84年，1984年。”
