无根的

Goodbye Alice in Wonderland Jewel It's four in the afternoon I'm on a flight leaving L.A. Trying to think about my life My youth scattered along the highway Hotel rooms and headlines I've made a living with a song Just a guitar as my companion Wanting desperately to belong Fame is filled with spoiled children They grow fat on fantasy I guess that's why I'm leaving I crave reality So goodbye Alice in Wonderland Goodbye yellow brick road There is a difference between dreaming and pretending I did not find paradise It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching For what was missing in my life I'm embarassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliche I hit the bottom when I reached the top I never knew it was you who was breaking my heart I thought you had to love me You did not Yes a heart can hallucinate If it's completely starved for love Can even make monsters seem like Angels from above You forged my love like a weapon And turned it against me like a knife You broke my last heartstring But you opened up my eyes So goodbye Alice in Wonderland Goodbye yellow brick road There is a difference between dreaming and pretending That was not love in your eyes It was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting what was missing in my life And growing up is not the absence of dreaming It's being able to understand the difference between the ones you can hold And the ones that you've been sold Dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life Pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie Forgetting what you are Seeing for what you've been told Well, truth is stranger than fiction And this is my chance to get it right Life is much better without all of your pretty lies So Goodbye Alice in Wonderland You can keep your yellow brick road there is a difference between dreaming and pretending There's not tears in my eyes It was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching It was only a reflection of my lonely mind finding I find what's missing in my life

再见，梦游仙境的爱丽丝下午四点我在飞离洛杉矶的班机上试着去理顺生活我的青春散落在公路上就宿于各地旅馆，无数次登上头条我以一首歌成功立足吉他为伴我强烈渴望被接受和认可有名的人大多是被宠坏的孩子幻想使我们贪求无餍我猜想这就是我离开的原因我渴望活在现实里因此再见吧，梦游仙境的爱丽丝再见吧，黄砖路梦想和矫饰不同我没有找到天堂那不过是我孤独心灵的一种反映，我渴望找到生命中缺失的东西尽管尴尬，我不得不说一句摇滚乐界的陈词滥调当我的事业达到顶峰时，我的心情跌落到了谷底我从未想过，会是你让我心碎我以为你一定会爱我但你没有是的，如果心对爱饥渴它会产生幻觉，认假为真它甚至可以把妖魔认作下凡的天使你把我的爱练成一种武器然后把它像刀子一样捅向我你断了我最后一根心弦但你让我看清了现实因此再见吧，梦游仙境的爱丽丝再见吧，黄砖路梦想和矫饰不同你眼里的不是爱不过是我孤独心灵的一种反映，我努力寻找生命中缺失的东西成长不是梦想的消失而是一种能分辨你坚守的东西与导致你被骗的东西的能力并且梦想是个好东西因为它给生命带来新鲜事物但矫饰是一个终结它使谎言无限期地延续忘了你是谁只着眼于人们告诉你的那些东西真实比虚构更奇怪而这是我求取真实的机会没有那些漂亮的谎言，生活会变得更美好因此再见吧，梦游仙境的爱丽丝你可以留住你的黄砖路梦想和矫饰不同我眼里的不是泪水不过是我孤独心灵的一种反映，我意识到不过是我孤独心灵的一种反映，我意识到我已经找到了生命中缺失的东西

Squatting, lying, and milling aimlessly about the lower level were a dozen of so large lizard-like beasts that looked like the product of some mad geneticist's cross of Tatooine krayt dragons wit h Haruun Kal ankkoxen : four meters tall at the shoulder, long crooked legs that ended in five-clawed feet clearly designed for scaling rocky cliffs, ten meters of powerful tail ridged with spines and tipped with a horn-bladed mace, a flexible neck leading up to an armor-plated head that sported an impressive cowl of spines of its own—they looked fearsome enough that Obi-Wan might have thought them some sort of dangerous wild predators or vi cious watchbeasts, were it not for the docile way they tolerated the team of Utai wranglers who walked among them, hosing them down, scraping muck from their scales, and letting them take bundles of greens from their hands.

在下层那儿，蹲着的，躺着的，或是在漫无目的地殴斗的，是整整一打类似蜥蜴的巨型野兽，它们看上去就像是某个科学狂人将塔图因的克雷特巨龙和哈伦·卡尔的安科森兽糅合在一起的成品：肩高四米，长而弯曲的腿的末梢长着五根用于攀登岩壁的爪子，十米长的强壮尾部上扎满了尖刺，末端是一个尖角满布的骨槌，柔韧的颈部支撑着一个布满铠甲的脑袋，脑袋上又炫耀着一簇可怕的尖刺——它们的长相实在太恐怖了，使得欧比旺不禁觉得这些家伙不是危险的野生掠食者，就是冷血的守卫神兽，可恰恰相反，它们在那些尤泰牧人面前却表现得十分乖巧温顺，任由他们从中穿行，往它们身上浇水降温，从它们的鳞片上刮去污物，以及将一捆捆青草递到它们嘴边。

I sometimes dream of a larger and more populous house, standing in a golden age, of enduring materials, and without gingerbread work, which shall still consist of only one room, a vast, rude,substantial, primitive hall, without ceiling or plastering, with bare rafters and purlins supporting a sort of lower heaven over one's head —— useful to keep off rain and snow, where the king and queen posts stand out to receive your homage, when you have done reverence to the prostrate Saturn of an older dynasty on stepping over the sill; a cavernous house, wherein you must reach up a torch upon a pole to see the roof; where some may live in the fireplace,some in the recess of a window, and some on settles, some at one end of the hall, some at another, and some aloft on rafters with the spiders, if they choose; a house which you have got into when you have opened the outside door, and the ceremony is over; where the weary traveller may wash, and eat, and converse, and sleep, without further journey; such a shelter as you would be glad to reach in a tempestuous night, containing all the essentials of a house, and nothing for house-keeping; where you can see all the treasures of the house at one view, and everything hangs upon its peg, that a man should use; at once kitchen, pantry, parlor, chamber, storehouse,and garret; where you can see so necessary a thing, as a barrel or a ladder, so convenient a thing as a cupboard, and hear the pot boil,and pay your respects to the fire that cooks your dinner, and the oven that bakes your bread, and the necessary furniture and utensils are the chief ornaments; where the washing is not put out, nor the fire, nor the mistress, and perhaps you are sometimes requested to move from off the trap-door, when the cook would descend into the cellar, and so learn whether the ground is solid or hollow beneath you without stamping.

我有时梦见了一座较大的容得很多人的房屋，矗立在神话中的黄金时代中，材料耐用持久，屋顶上也没有华而不实的装饰，可是它只包括一个房间，一个阔大、简朴、实用而具有原始风味的厅堂，没有天花板没有灰浆，只有光光的椽木和桁条，支撑着头顶上的较低的天，——却尽足以抵御雨雪了，在那里，在你进门向一个古代的俯卧的农神致敬之后，你看到衍架中柱和双柱架在接受你的致敬；一个空洞洞的房间，你必须把火炬装在一根长竿顶端方能看到屋顶，而在那里，有人可以住在炉边，有人可以往在窗口凹处，有人在高背长椅上，有人在大厅一端，有人在另一端，有人，如果他们中意，可以和蜘蛛一起住在椽木上：这屋子，你一打开大门就到了里边，不必再拘泥形迹；在那里，疲倦的旅客可以洗尘、吃喝、谈天、睡觉，不须继续旅行，正是在暴风雨之夜你愿意到达的一间房屋，一切应有尽有，又无管理家务之烦；在那里，你一眼可以望尽屋中一切财富，而凡是人所需要的都挂在木钉上；同时是厨房，伙食房，客厅，卧室，栈房和阁楼；在那里你可以看见木桶和梯子之类的有用的东西和碗橱之类的便利的设备，你听到壶里的水沸腾了，你能向煮你的饭菜的火焰和焙你的面包的炉子致敬，而必需的家具与用具是主要的装饰品；在那里，洗涤物不必晒在外面，炉火不熄，女主人也不会生气，也许有时要你移动一下，让厨子从地板门里走下地窖去，而你不用蹬脚就可以知道你的脚下是虚是实。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
