- Monty Python Galaxy Song 歌詞
- Monty Python
- Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
當生活讓你感到萬分沮喪的時候,布朗太太
And things seem hard or tough
日子過得粗鄙不堪,好像陷入了困境
And people are stupid obnoxious or daft
人們看上去都蠢極了,舉止間的癲狂真是令人作嘔
And you feel that youve had quite enough
此刻的你覺得已經受夠了這一切
Just remember that youre standing on a planet thats evolving
試著想想,你站立在一顆處於演化中的行星上
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
它正以每小時900英里的速度進行自轉
Thats orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so its reckoned
同時用每秒19英里的速度沿著軌道環繞太陽
A sun that is the source of all our power
那顆叫做'太陽'的恆星是我們的能量之源
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
太陽,還有你,還有我,還有那些肉眼可見的所有星體
Are moving at a million miles a day
每天都要在太空中行進過1,000,000英里
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
在這團我們稱作'銀河'的星系的外層螺旋臂中,
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
這個速度達到了40,000英里每小時
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
我們的銀河係自身就容納著千億顆星體
Its a hundred thousand light years side to side
橫穿過它要經過100,000光年的距離
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
最擁擠的是中央部分,物質都積聚在離核心16,000光年範圍內
But out by us, its just three thousand light years wide
可是我們不在那裡頭,那段區域只有3,000光年的寬度
Were thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
而我們離銀河系的中心有著30,000光年的距離
We go round every two hundred million years
我們繞著中心旋轉,一年內行經200,000,000光年
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
而我們的銀河不過是數億萬星系中微不足道的一個
In this amazing and expanding universe
在這個令人驚詫的,向外擴張的宇宙裡頭
The universe itself keepson expanding and expanding
宇宙自身也在不斷地膨脹之中
In all of the directions it can whizz
向四面八方伸展,掠過空間發出'嗖嗖'聲
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
它用盡了自身的力量,以光的速度擴張著,就像你所知道的那樣
Twelve million miles a minute, and thats the fastest speed there is
每分鐘12,000,000英里,那可是世界上最快的速度了
So remember, when youre feeling very small and insecure
所以請記住了,當你自覺低人一等又或是無所依靠的時候
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
要想起最不可思議的事情莫過於你的出生
And pray that theres intelligent life somewhere up in space
接著祈禱太空中的某處還存在著智慧生命
Cause theres bugger-all down here on Earth!
因為在這顆該死的地球上連個屁也沒有!
