A space boy dream
I dreamt I had to go to mars.
I'm always kidding on about going to mars for the day
But faced with the reality of it in a dream I was terrified.
我夢見自己不得不去火星
And it wasn't going to be like a moon trip
我總是開玩笑說我馬上就去火星
There was three of us going but we couldn't all go on the same ship
可在夢裡遇到這樣的情況時,我被嚇壞了
We had to go one at a time with a day between us.
這並不是那種月球旅行
I had to go first and it was the thought of passing through all that black space
一共有三個人去,但我們無法乘同一艘飛船
All the darkness with nothing in it and then being the first one to land there
我們只能一天一個地去
all alone...
我只能第一個出發,也就是說我將穿越整個黑暗的太空,
I knew it was supposed to be all dark around with just a red surface
那無邊的漆黑覆蓋著虛無。然後我會成為第一個在火星著陸的人
But what if I got there and it was light all civilised and populated and stuff?
全程獨自一人…
So I made a plan.
我知道火星應該被黑暗緊緊包圍著,只露出一個紅色的表面
The other astronauts were going to be my dad and my sister
但是要是我到了火星,發現那兒光線良好、文明開化且人口眾多或是其他情況呢?
And my dad would come first after me
因此我制定了一個計劃
So I decided when I landed I would just stay in my seat until he got there
另外兩個宇航員分別是我爸爸和我姐姐
And then we could get out together and have a look around
我爸爸是第二個出發的
And see what sort of things were there.
因此我決定,在火星著陸後,我就呆在艙位裡不動,直到我爸爸到達火星
And when I woke up and I was lying in the darkness I thought I had landed.
然後我們就可以一起出艙,看看火星到底是個什麼樣子
And I just lay still for a while waiting for my dad to get there too.
看看那兒到底有什麼東西
