Rorschach's journal, October 12th, 1985.
今早巷子裏有具狗屍體 車子碾得它肚皮開花
Dog carcass in alley this morning. Tire tread on burst stomach.
這座城市害怕我
This city's afraid of me.
我見識過它的真面目 這些街道就像無盡的臭水溝...
I've seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters...
充滿鮮血的臭水溝
...and the gutters are full of blood.
當這些臭水溝的血完全結痂之後...
And when the drains finally scab over...
所有的寄生蟲都會窒息而死
...all the vermin will drown.
它們的色情和謀殺所沈積的汙穢...
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder...
會淹沒它們的腰部...
...will foam up around their waists...
這時所有的婊子和政客們就會仰起頭哭喊："救救我們! "
...and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout, "Save us."
而我輕聲說："不"
And I'll whisper, "No."
現在全世界都已處在懸崖邊...
Now the whole world stands on the brink...
人們向下直視著血腥的地獄
...staring down into bloody hell.
那些自由主義者 學者...
All those liberals and intellectuals...
還有圓滑的演講家們...
...and smooth talkers...
全都在壹瞬間變得啞口無言
...and all of a sudden, nobody can think of anything to say.
在我腳下 這座威嚴的城市...
Beneath me, this awful city.
發出了好像在屠宰場裏 任人宰割的弱智兒童的慘叫
It screams like an abattoir full of retarded children...
夜晚則充滿著道德淪喪的烏煙瘴氣
...and the night reeks of fornication and bad consciences.
血腥的暴亂被制止

這毫無成果的夜晚 拜訪的第壹個人...
First visit of evening fruitless.
讓我有些失望
Feel slightly depressed.
戰爭很快就會爆發了
Soon there will be war.
上百萬的人會疾病和痛苦中死去
Millions will perish in sickness and misery.
為什麽壹個人的死還比這百萬人重要?
Why does one death matter against so many?
因為當中有好人有壞人 而壞人必須被懲罰
Because there is good and evil, and evil must be punished.
即使面對世界末日...
Even in the face of armageddon...
在這點上我也不會妥協
...I will not compromise in this.
但是有那麽多人的值得被報償...
But there are so many deserving of retribution...
...而時間卻那麽少
...and so little time.
