本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇 | 朗读《时间的秩序》

I stop and do nothing. Nothing happens. I am thinking about nothing. I listen to the passing of time. This is time, familiar and intimate. We are taken by it. The rush of seconds, hours, years that hurls us towards life then drags us towards...nothingness. We inhabit time as fish live in water. Our being is being in time. Its solemn music nurtures us, opens the world to us, troubles us, frightens and lulls us. The universe unfolds into the future dragged by time and exists according to the order of time.

我停下来，什么也不做，什么都没发生。我清空大脑，什么也不想，聆听着时间的流逝。这就是时间，熟悉又亲切。我们被时间掌控，光阴荏苒，日月如梭，时间将我们抛入生活，又将我们拖入...虚空。我们住在时间里，仿若鱼儿生活在水中。我们因时间的存在而存在，它神圣的音符滋育这我们，为我们敞开世界的大门，它困扰我们，恐吓我们，麻痹我们。宇宙被时间拖拽，向未来发展，而宇宙的存在永远遵循着——时间的秩序。
