Sylvia was struck by lightning while reading in bed one night 而在床上看书一个晚上西尔维亚被闪电击中

She’d left the window open, the storm caught her by surprise 她会离开窗口打开，风暴措手不及她

For days she lay still as stone hooked to pumps and tubes 一连几天，她仍然躺在石头钩住泵和管

Then out her window the street lights flashed and at last a finger moved 然后她的窗口中的路灯闪烁，最后用手指移动

She awoke to a cacophony of electric and radio waves 她醒来时，电和无线电波的杂音

Pulsing rays of energy falling from outer space 能量射线脉冲从太空坠落

High in swaying towers, down in basements full of dust 高在地下室满是灰尘随风摇曳塔，下来

She could not escape the static, the sixty cycle hum 她无法逃脱静态的， 60循环的嗡嗡声

She wore dark-tinted spectacles, several fur-lined capes 她穿着深色有色眼镜，一些毛皮披肩

Three pairs of velvet gloves, a veil of dotted swiss 三对天鹅绒手套，点缀瑞士的面纱

But all the Earth’s vibrations still pounded through her ears 但是，地球上所有的振动通过她的耳朵还在砰砰直跳

So she packed a steamer trunk, flew a prop plane to Belize 于是她收拾蒸笼躯干，立马道具飞机伯利兹

   

From there a log raft took her over raging waterfalls 从那里木筏带着她在汹涌的瀑布

Deep within uncharted jungle where giant caterpillars crawl 在未知的丛林中巨大的毛毛虫爬深

They spun their silk around her, a cocoon beneath the trees 他们纺的丝在她身边，茧在树下

And still she hangs there swaying, deep within the dripping leaves 而且她还是挂在那儿摇曳，深滴水叶内

Keeping time with every rumble, every quiver of the Earth 地球的保持时间每个隆隆声，每一个箭袋

And she slowly changes shape with the turning of the world 她慢慢地改变形状与世界的转折点
