渣滓

Inger the legendary city of 1849 - a city of banditti, assassins and incendiaries, who had flocked hither in crowds in pursuit of plunder; a paradise of outlaws, where they gambled with gold-dust, a revolver in one hand and a bowie-knife in the other: it was now a great commercial emporium.

这里成了人类渣滓麋集之所，人们一手拿枪一手握刀来赌金沙。但这样的"黄金时代"已经一去不复返了。今天的旧金山显出是一座巨大的商业城市。那座设有警卫的市府大厦的高塔俯瞰着全城的大街小巷。

More eternal than Rome, more splendorous than Nineveh. The very navel of the world to which, like a blind and faltering idiot, one crawls back on hands and knees. And like a cork that has drifted to the dead center of the ocean, one floats here in the scum and wrack of the seas, listless, hopeless, heedless even of a passing Columbus. The cradles of civilization are the putrid sinks of the world, the charnel house to which the stinking wombs confide their bloody packages of flesh and bone.

它比罗马更久远，比尼尼微更壮观，它是世界的肚脐，人像一只漂到大洋中死一般寂静的软木塞，独自漂浮在这儿，在海洋的渣滓和船只残骸之中，无精打彩、毫无希望，连路过的哥伦布也不去注意他，文明的摇篮也就是扔全世界的腐肉的污水坑，就是尸体存放所，发臭的子宫把骨肉的血污包裹放在里面。
