谈核武之后的世界:took a wrong turn

派对上,玻尔突然现身,讲起海森堡想 draw me out(引他开口),He took a wrong turn(他走错了方向)点破对手的误判。可私下里,玻尔更担心之后:The power you're about to reveal will forever outlive the Nazis(你们即将揭开的力量会比纳粹活得更久),And the world is not prepared(而世界还没准备好)。想学伏笔式警告和沉重收尾,这段很抓人。

发生了什么

洛斯阿拉莫斯的圣诞派对上,玻尔突然现身,讲起哥本哈根那趟:海森堡说些持续裂变的话,想 draw him out(引他开口),玻尔最后判断 He took a wrong turn(他走错了方向),认定德国人已经落后。可他此行的真正目的是谈「之后」:The power you're about to reveal will forever outlive the Nazis(你们即将揭开的力量会比纳粹活得更久),And the world is not prepared(而世界还没准备好)。他甚至说,你不是在造新武器,It's a new world(这是一个新的世界);你是 an American Prometheus(美国的普罗米修斯),把力量交到人手里,就得为后面负责。想学伏笔式警告、讲责任和沉重收尾,这些表达都很到位。
