Blade Runner 《银翼杀手》
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched Cbeams glitter③ in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate. All those moments will be lost in time...like tears in rain...Time to die.
我曾见过你们人类无法置信的事情。(我目睹了)战舰在猎户座的边缘熊熊燃烧。我注视C射线在唐怀瑟之门附近的黑暗中闪耀。所有这些瞬间都将淹没在时间的洪流里,就像雨中的泪水……死亡的时刻到了。
