【流浪地球】刹车时代(上) 中英文双语对照(9)
Finally, our bus reached the very top of the engine, here the mouth of the plasma jet was directly above us. The beam emanating from it was so enormous that, when we tilted our heads up, all we could see was a gargantuan wall of blue plasma reaching into infinity above us. Looking far up at the blue, I then recalled a riddle posed to us in philosophy class:
“你在平原上走着走着,突然迎面遇到一堵墙,这墙向上无限高,向下无限深,向左无限远,向右无限远,这墙是什么?”
“ You are walking along on a plain when you suddenly come across a wall, “ I told my teacher. “ It stretches endlessly upward, endless downward, endless to your left and endless to your right. What’s the wall? “ Our haggard teacher had asked our class that riddle. I now asked Ms.Xing, curious at her answer. Even the memory pf that question made me shudder as we stood atop the engine.
