to an audience that ticks on the wall 给观众蜱在墙上

   

To the practical observer 以实际观测

It's just a matter of time 这只是时间的问题

"You can deviate from the com- “你可以从计算偏离

only to fall back in line." 只有依傍于行“ 。

I understand mine's a risky plan 我知道雷是一个冒险的计划

and your system can't miss 和你的系统不能错过

But is security after all a cause 但安全毕竟是一个原因

or symptom of happiness? 还是幸福的症状？

   

Brave, yet afraid, his eyes on horizon 勇敢，但怕，他的眼睛在地平线上

in a steady-set gaze 在稳定设定的目光

a mariner soon from an open cocoon 的船员很快就从打开的茧
