Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.

海底的一股洋流

Picked his bones in whispers九_九_藏_書. As he rose and fell

他忘了海鷗的啼喚，深淵里的巨浪，

Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swel九九藏書l

你們轉動輪盤和觀望風向的，

猶太或非猶太人呵，

Gentile or Jew

O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,

低語著啄他的骨頭。九*九*藏*書就在一起一落時光

A current under sea

想想他，也曾象你們一樣漂亮而高大。

扶里巴斯，那腓尼基人，死了兩星期，

利潤和損失。

And the profit and loss.

He passed the stages of his age and youth

他經歷了蒼老和青春的階段

Entering the whirlpool.

而進入旋渦。
