钟塔伫立在仙境的边缘,像一座遗世的堡垒,古老而冷峻。爱丽丝沿着荒凉的时针石路前行,四周的暮色渐渐加深,钟塔的影子越来越大,压在她的心头。她回想起过去与时间先生的交锋,他从未真正友好过,那冷酷、孤傲的性格让她心生敬畏。
推开厚重的塔门时,一阵刺耳的金属摩擦声回荡在空旷的大厅中,仿佛连钟塔的齿轮都在抗议她的到来。她深吸一口气,稳住心神,缓缓向前。
突然,一声低沉的怒吼从塔内传来,震得她的脚步都微微一顿:“How dare you disturb me again!(你竟敢再次来打扰我!)”
时间先生的身影从黑暗中浮现,他身披漆黑的长袍,双眼如刀般锐利,手中握着巨大的时间链锁。他的气场压迫感十足,仿佛整个空间都被他的存在所笼罩。
“I haven’t come to disturb you. I’m here to ask for your help…(时间先生,我不是来扰乱你的,我是来请求你的帮助……)”爱丽丝急忙解释,然而话还未说完,时间先生便挥舞着链锁向她袭来。她迅速闪避,但每一次躲闪都让她心跳加速。
“You reckless girl! You’ve already disrupted my domain of time, and now you dare to return!(你这冒失的姑娘,扰乱了我的时间领域,还敢再来!)”时间先生的怒火如同烈焰般燃烧。
爱丽丝竭力躲避,不断寻找机会解释:“I was sent by the Red Queen! She needs your help!(我是红皇后派来的!她需要你的帮助!)”
这句话仿佛击中了时间先生的要害,他的动作瞬间停滞,链锁停在半空。他的表情从愤怒转为惊讶,眼神里透出复杂的情感:“The red queen?”
爱丽丝见状,连忙补充:“Yes, both the Red Queen and the White Queen need you to fix the time displacement in the maze garden. They believe only you can do it.(是的,红皇后和白皇后都需要你来修复迷宫花园的时间错位。她们相信只有你能做到。)”
时间先生沉默了许久,目光深邃,似乎被拉回了某个遥远的过去。他的声音变得低沉:“The Red Queen… she still remembers me?(红皇后……她竟然还记得我?)”
爱丽丝趁热打铁:“Of course she remembers you. They both believe in your ability to solve this problem.(她当然记得你,她们都相信你有能力解决问题。)”
时间先生长长地叹了一口气,仿佛承认了命运的安排。他的手微微颤抖,放下了链锁:“Very well, I will help you… But remember, the cost of time is heavy, and no one escapes it lightly.(好吧,我会帮你们……但要记住,时间的代价是沉重的,没有人能轻易逃脱它。)”
爱丽丝心中的一块石头终于落地,感激地向他鞠躬:“Thanks,Time.谢谢你,时间先生。”
爱丽丝打开羊皮卷,他沉默片刻,指向那心形拼图的空缺:“To repair this rift, one crucial thing is still missing. This part of the time displacement is not only tied to Wonderland… but also to your friend, the Hatter.(要修复这裂隙,还缺少一块重要的东西。这部分的时空错位,不仅与仙境有关,还与……你的朋友那位帽子朋友息息相关。)”
爱丽丝的眉头微皱:“Tarrant? What does he have to do with the time displacement?(塔兰特?他和我……怎么会与时间错位有关?)”
时间先生露出一丝复杂的笑容:“Once, to reunite with you, he made a wish to the great clock using one red hair and one golden hair. That wish altered the structure of time in Wonderland. The battlefield ruins where you slew the Jabberwocky became the maze garden, a space you both created.(他曾经为了与你重逢,用一根红发和一根金发向大时钟许下愿望,而这一愿望改变了仙境的时空结构。你与他共同编织了新的命运。仙境将你杀死加勃沃奇的棋盘战场废墟变为了迷宫花园,变成了你们共同创造的区域。)”
爱丽丝面色突然红润起来,她想起镜子前的拥别,自己的禁忌之梦:“So, the final piece of the puzzle… must be completed by the two of us?(所以,拼图的最后一块……需要我们共同来完成?)”
时间先生点头:“Yes, only the two of you can restore this part of the timeline. To repair this rift, you and Tarrant must face your desires together. It is your intertwined feelings that caused this section of time to become misaligned. Every wish you’ve made in the past has silently shaped the course of time in Wonderland. To fix the gap, you must return to the maze garden and rediscover the essence of that wish.You’ll need to confront your deepest feelings and break free from the chains of fate. If you can both face your emotions honestly and make the same wish, the rift in time will naturally heal(是的,只有你们二人才能修复这片时空裂隙。要修复这片时空裂隙,你和塔兰特必须共同面对你们的愿望。因为是你们的情感交织,使得这一部分时空产生了错位。你们在过去的每一个愿望,都在无形中塑造了仙境的时空走向。为了修复这片空缺,你们需要到迷宫花园里,去找回当初那个愿望的本质,直面你们内心最真实的情感,打破命运的禁锢。如果你们能坦诚面对心中的情感,并同时许下相同的愿望,时空的裂隙便会自然修复。)”
爱丽丝深吸一口气:“Alright, I will complete this journey with Tarrant.(好吧,我会和塔兰特一起完成这次旅程。)”
正当她准备出发,时间先生忽然补充道:“Remember, every fragment of time reflected in the mirror is real and cannot be hidden. Only the truest emotions can break time’s constraints. If you hesitate, evade, or conceal anything within the mirror, your wish will never be fulfilled, and the rift in time will remain unhealed.(记住,时光之镜中的每一个片段都是真实的,无法掩饰。只有最真实的感情才能打破时间的桎梏。如果你们在镜中犹豫、逃避或隐瞒,你们的愿望将永远无法实现,时空的裂隙也无法修复。)”
爱丽丝点了点头:“I understand.(我明白了。)”
她转身离开钟塔,走向城堡为她开启的大门。心中充满了复杂的情感。
