郁金香独白

Before you were born, Amsterdam was captivated by a flower. The tulip. They came from far away, in the East, and were so rare and beautiful, for people lost their senses in wanting to own them.

在你出生之前，阿姆斯特丹的人痴迷一种花—郁金香。它来自遥远的东方，如此稀有而美丽，所以人们发狂的想拥有它们。

Rich and poor were spending and borrowing money to join the trade in bulbs, which were going up in price all the time. None more so than the rare striped tulips that were called breakers.

富人花钱，穷人借钱，争相购入郁金香的球茎，导致花价一路上涨。某些罕见的条纹郁金香被称为碎色者。

A new breaker came from nowhere, like an act of God, and it changed people`s lives. A white flower with a God-given crimson stripe turned our lives upside down, mine and my mistress Sophia`s.

这种新的碎色者扮演了上帝的角色，改变了人们的生活。一朵白色的花，有上帝赐予的深红条纹，颠覆了我们的生活。我们包括：我和我的女主人索菲亚。
