犯罪档案
我是艾德里安·崔泊德(三脚架) 此地的主管 I am Adrian Tripod, the Director of this place,
皮肤屋 the House of Skin.
从某种意义上说 我现在这化身是由 In a sense, my present incarnation was generated
疯狂的皮肤科医生安托尼·鲁日所制造的 by the mad dermatologist Antoine Rouge.
皮肤屋最初是为 The House of Skin began its existence
富有的病人提供住宿的诊所 as a residential clinic for wealthy patients
他们都是因现代化妆品所引起的严重皮肤病 who were treated for severely pathological skin conditions
而接受治疗的 induced by contemporary cosmetics.
安托尼·鲁日 他在当时 Antoine Rouge, who at the time,
只不过被看作是一个有天赋的技术人员 was considered little more then a gifted technician
多年前他控制了此屋 seized control of the house many years ago
并引导其进行一项更为奇异的研究 and guided it towards a more fantastic species of research.
很多人反对鲁吉安的统治地位 There was much opposition to the Rougian ascendancy
在某些上层人士中 in certain high places.
毫无疑问 此屋正在走下坡路 The House is undeniably in decline.
不知怎的 在没了我的直接了解后 Somehow, without my direct comprehension of it,
它落入我两个阴郁的实习生手中 it has fallen into the hands of my two sullen interns.
他们的目的 Their purposes
让我完全无法理解 are entirely opaque to me.
正如大多数人的目的一样 As are the purposes of so many others.
在安东尼·鲁日失踪之前 Before the disappearance of Antoine Rouge,
这里住着许多奇怪的生物 there were many strange creatures in residence here.
但是到了现在 这儿就只剩一个了 But for some time now, there has only been one.
而他... And he...
我相信 我注意到过 ...I believe, I have noted
一种 发白 非固态 充满气体的物质 a whitish, aerated amorphous affluence
从他的耳朵里渗出 oozing from his ears.
我不太确定 I am not quite certain.
我的实习生们也注意到了这种致命分泌物的出现 My interns have also noted the deadly emergence
我们称之为鲁日泡沫 of this secretion which we call Rouge's foam.
所有死于鲁日病的人 It has been mandatory to cremate all those
都必须火化 who have died from Rouge's Malady.
虽然在分泌和出血期间 Although during the period of secretion and haemorrhage,
各种病理性液体是相对无害的 the various pathological fluids are relatively harmless,
甚至从本质上来说是具有吸引力的 even essentially attractive.
这些液体很快就会产生 These fluids soon develop
极其致命的毒性 a virulence which can be devastating.
曾有段时间 鲁日病只出现在 There was a time when Rouge's Malady appeared
青春期后的人类女性身上 only in post-pubertal human females.
在我目前的困惑中 这也许是自然的 It is perhaps natural that in my present confusion
我应该找到自己的方法去新型性病研究所 I should find my way to the Institute of Neo-Venereal Disease.
在鲁日管理时那段令人振奋的日子里 In the exhilarating days of Rougian administration,
此屋和这个研究所之间有许多合作 there was much collaboration between the House and this institute.
我以前的同事不知怎的变得孤僻了 My former colleague has somehow withdrawn.
他自己 He himself has contracted
也从他的一个病人那里感染了一种性病 a species of venereal disease from one of his patients.
他曾经是一个狂热的感官主义者 He was once a fierce sensualist
但现在他已经变成了一个纯粹的形而上学者 but he has now become a pure metaphysician.
他的身体开始产生令人费解的器官 His body has begun to create puzzling organs.
每一个都非常复杂 非常完美 Each one very complex, very perfect,
独特但似乎毫无用处 unique yet seemingly without function.
每当一个被手术切除后 As each is surgically removed,
它很快就会被另一个同样神秘的东西所取代 it is quickly replaced by another equally mysterious.
他开始闯入标本室 He has taken to breaking into the specimens room
然后偷走了装有这些器官的罐子 and stealing the jars containing these organs.
他的身体 他坚称 是一个星系 His body, he insists, is a galaxy.
而这些产物便是太阳系 And these creatures are solar systems.
当它们远离他时 他便会变得忧郁 He becomes melancholy when they are far from him.
他护士说他得的 His nurse says that his disease
可能是一种创造性癌症 is possibly a form of creative cancer.
我觉得他们应该就是这么说的 I believe that this is what they have said.
当一个人与世隔绝这么久时 It is difficult to recall so many dialects
是很难回想起这么多方言的 when one has remained so long in isolation.
我在海洋足病学小组中 I have found a position as a therapist
找到了一份治疗师的工作 with the Oceanic Podiatry Group.
他们支持自己的理论体系 They support their theoretical structure,
在某种程度上 是通过严重歪曲 in part, by a grossly distorted interpretation
对安托尼·鲁日后期进化论著作的阐释 of the later evolutionary writings of Antoine Rouge.
不过 某些鲁吉安概念的接近还是令人欣慰的 Still the closeness of certain Rougian concepts is comforting.
我所要尝试的技术是对 The technique I am to attempt is the invocation
足的遗传史的引用 of the genetic history of feet.
即触手 裂鳍 鳍肢等 That is, tentacles, lobed fins, flippers and so on.
通过这些和其他更为内行深奥的方法 By these and other more esoteric means,
我是来逆转心灵复发的 这种病现在很常见 I am to reverse the psychic relapse, now so common,
其可在强烈的基因压力下产生 which can occur under intense genetic pressure.
我 因此 要鼓励病人 I am, thereby, to encourage patients
去承受突如其来的外星引力 to bear the burden of a suddenly alien gravity.
去走路 比如说 To walk, for example,
当它们更愿意恢复到更为原始的海洋形态 when they would prefer to revert to more primitive oceanic forms.
我已经达到了一种平衡 I have achieved a sort of equilibrium
在我匿名于形而上学进出口时 in my anonymity here at Metaphysical Import-Export.
置身事外是很简单的 It has been simple to remain aloof
对于这家公司的内部运作而言 from the internal workings of this corporation
因为作为一个小型内部快递员 because as a minor intramural courier
我不需要和 I am not required to communicate
众多我所应对的首席职位候选人交流 with many candidates for executive positions with whom I deal.
然而 结果是 As a consequence, however,
我无法确定 I am uncertain as to what constitutes
他们不断的练习和比赛的意义是什么 the significance of their incessant exercises and competitions.
当安托尼·鲁日失踪时 When Antoine Rouge disappeared
不久后 他自己也染上了这 soon after he had himself contracted the disease
以他自己名字命名的病 which bears his name,
我们认为他在流放时宁愿死时独自一人 we believed that he had preferred to die alone
只有部分是出于自愿 in an exile only partially self-willed.
不过 有次他谈过那个鲁日病 Still, he on one occasion remarked that Rouge's Malady
对鲁日是不会致命的 could not possibly be fatal to Rouge
尽管它已经杀死了成百上千万女性 though it had already killed hundreds of thousands of women.
而确实 他的死亡只被 And it is true that his death was confirmed only
那些老早就希望他死的某些当权者所确认 by certain authorities who had long wished for his death.
然而 鲁日 作为我的导师 和我 Yet, the Rouge, as my mentor, and I
是异常亲密的 were preternaturally close.
而我确信 And I feel sure
他早已不在了 that he no longer exists.
我一直在研究那个脚趾有蹼的男人 I have been studying the stereoscopic card
所交给我的立体卡片 delivered to me by the man with webbed toes.
虽然他的态度很粗暴 但他留给我的那张卡 Though his manner was brutal, the card he left me
既诱人又特别讨人喜欢 was both inviting and peculiarly flattering.
然而 这也许是因为卡片上的图片 Yet it was perhaps because of the perverse sexual nature
具有反常性本质 of the card's images,
这让人联想起那些在皮肤屋里 so reminiscent of those which had gained an odd popularity
有诡异人气的图片 at the House of Skin
这让我决定不再联系这些狡猾的同事们 which decided me against contacting these subtle colleagues
当他们在描述自己的时候 as they describe themselves.
我害怕了 然而 如果我在这儿待得更长 I fear, however, that if I remain here much longer
我来之不易的平衡可能会变成病态的停滞 my hard won equilibrium may become a morbid stasis.
我过去难缠的病人现在张开双臂欢迎我 My former difficult patient now welcomes me with open arms.
他已经不再一瘸一拐的了 He no longer limps
并声称由于我所尝试海洋疗法的失败 and claims that as a result of my abortive attempt at oceanic therapy
他觉得他已经接受了自己的变异脚趾 he feels he has come to terms with his mutant toes.
他对海洋生物、空气和水 He adds something elaborately philosophical
做了一些精心的哲学补充 about sea creatures, air and water,
但他的用语极其晦涩 but his idioms are extremely obscure.
如我所料 As I had anticipated,
我被邀请参加一个阴谋家聚会 I have been invited to join a gathering of conspirators.
他们的目的 到目前为止 对我而言还不明确 Their purposes are, as yet, opaque to me.
其他人的目的也是如此 As are the purposes of so many others.
然而 很明显的是 It is, however, quite clear
他们是异性恋童癖 that they are heterosexual paedophiles.
一个明确非法的组织 A group specifically outlawed
尽管如此这已越来越普遍 though increasingly pervasive, nonetheless.
我们现在似乎都是一位新大师的门徒了 We are now all disciples of a new master it seems.
他叫乔姆金 He is called Jomkin.
他把这些挑衅性的领域描述为他的水族馆 He describes these provocative spheres as his aquaria
并指导我从精神上参与 and directs me to engage psychically
任何令我产生共鸣的水族箱 any aquarium for which I feel empathy.
我不能否认 I cannot deny my attraction
我对这些反常的多维图像的吸引力 to certain of these perverse multi-dimensional images.
乔姆金建议必须进化出 Jomkin suggests that there must evolve
一个更为新颖的性行为 对于一个新型人类物种而言 a novel sexuality for a new species of man.
一种最具创新性的生殖生命形式的 An emergent genetic biochemistry
新兴遗传生物化学 for a most innovatively reproductive form of life.
他提到了安托尼·鲁日 He mentions Antoine Rouge.
但 我似乎 But... I cannot
看不出这其中的 seem to see the connection

他注意到基金会住所的广阔 He notes the vastness of the Foundation's quarters
以及为那些突然变得无助的人 and the difficulty in reaching aid
提供援助的困难 for those suddenly rendered helpless.
在这一点上 他提到基因会所雇佣的枪手 In this connection, he mentions the Foundation's hired gunman

在一家鲜为人知的短期旅馆里 At an obscure hotel for transients,

看门人长篇大论地说 The concierge speaks at length about a root-like excrescence
