尋日先講緊，真係比邪惡維尼控制晒嘅世界會點？
今日就見到呢個名單，
其實我地離世界末日還遠嗎？
前幾日，睇咗一集舊片。
The Closer, season 2, episode 15
Serving the King
女主角其中一段對白深深刻在我腦中。
Brenda Leigh Johnson : I remember once hearin' a speech about what it meant to be an officer of the CIA and the man who gave this speech talked about the struggle to control civilization and how we're always fightin' the same fight, and he used the dark ages as an example. And he talked about how on the one side you had the pragmatic king who was greedy and power hungry and basically took advantage of people whenever he could. And on the other side you had the idealistic church forcin' everyone to follow the same rules, believe the same thing, and all that. Neither the king nor the church was ever completely right or wrong, both sides ended up doin' terrible things to get what they wanted, really terrible things. The point of the story was this, that this struggle from the dark ages had been goin' on forever, and the church and the king might take on different philosophies but they would always fight each other, pragmatists and idealists, and at most times, you're better off standin' on the sidelines, lettin' them duke it out. But every once in a while, one side or the other decides it might be better just to blow up the whole world just to get its own way and when that happens you can't stand on the sidelines any more. You have to pick a team. So for tonight anyway, we're servin' the king.
很屎的翻釋，見量。
女主角名 Branda:
我記得曾經聽過一個演講，主題係"作為一個中情局主任的意義。那位演講的先生講了一些控制文明的難處，同埋我地其實一路都係打緊同一樣嘅仗。佢用咗暗黑時代 (西歐史，羅馬帝國滅亡到文藝復興開始) 做比喻。
佢話，係一邊係獨斷嘅皇帝，貪心，飢渴權力，基本上是有任何機會都會將子民嘅利益都攞盡。
而係另一邊就係呢個理想的教會，逼每一個人都一定要遵守一模一樣的規則，信一模一樣嘅野。
皇帝同教會都不會是全對或全錯。兩邊都一樣係做緊錯事壞事，去攞佢地想要嘅野，真係好壞嘅事。
故事嘅要點係，暗黑時代嘅難處，其實係直到永遠一直都係到。皇帝同教會可以用唔同嘅哲學理論去代替佢代表佢，但係，佢地會一直互相鬥爭落去。獨斷的 鬥 理想的。而好多時候，你最好就係企埋一二邊做旁觀者，由得佢地打生打死。
但係，有時候，佢地是但一邊突然間決定，不如都係炸爛全個世界再由我嚟話事。當呢件事發生嘅呢個時候，你唔可以再企係一邊做旁觀者，你必須要揀一邊去歸隊。而今晚呢，我地就服務皇帝。
我唔知需要你歸隊嗰一刻幾時嚟 (或者已經嚟咗？) 不如由呢一刻開始諗吓你會歸邊隊。
