, the word for computer translates literally into "electric brain". In the future there will be electric eyes, as well as electric ears, electric tongues, electric noses and electric bodies. Every one of the six organs will have disposable modules, likes cassettes, and will gain an electric boost.
從此,眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意都將電腦化,甚至連「意」也會和「萬事通電腦記憶銀行」搭上線。
Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind will be computerized. Even the mind will tie in organically with "know-it-all computer memory banks."
這是個當人的好時期嗎?
絕對不是,這正是人類史上的黑暗時期。
Is this a good time to be a person?
Impossible! This is a dark age in human history.
生在這個愚癡的時代,人的智慧都給物質偷走了,沒有一個人真正稱得上有智慧,因為我們的自性光明全被物質蒙蔽了。
In this benighted era, our wisdom has been stolen away by material things. Nobody has any natural wisdom to speak of. Our inherent brightness has been replaced by products and goods.
一旦我們以物質代替智慧,人將變得呆滯遲鈍,像白癡一樣。那個時代,智慧不見了,人都不做有益的事。
And once we substitute things for wisdom, then people will grow up blank, like idiots. Wisdom will become outmoded. People will no longer serve any useful function.
你們要切記我說的:將來的人會退化成廢物!你們說這個問題嚴不嚴重?
Mark my words: in the future, people will become obsolete. Would you say this is a serious problem or not?
你們再注意看,過不了多久,人將會變得毫無用處的。舉例來說,現在正有一班人,在那裏絞盡腦汁盡發明些稀奇古怪的東西!
Look into it! People will soon be rendered useless! For instance, some unethical scientists now are busy inventing miraculous monsters.
這些人玩的是把人的遺傳基因,移植到動物體;和把動物基因,移植到人身上,這種基因互換的把戲。你要說那個東西是個人嘛!那不是真正的人;你要說那它是動物囉?它也不是真正的動物。於是,在人與動物基因互相交流的情況下,就產生了各式各樣的突變種。
You say it's human? It's not really human. You say it's an animal? It's not exactly an animal either. Since they graft human genes onto animal bodies and alter human genes with animals strains, this mutual genetic modification produces a freakish, mutant, hybrid that resembles neither parent.
按照目前這個時代,人一出生很可能就長了犄角,或是長長的象鼻子。依我看,人要是長了像大象一樣的長鼻子,簡直就是怪物,哪還算是人?可是現在這些畸型和突變都有發生的可能。
Now people can be born with horns, or elephant-like trunks. In my opinion, a human born with a nose like a pachyderm is more a goblin than a person. These goblins and freaks are all within the realm of possibility today.
再說,今天的科技已經發展到難以控制的局面了。接下來的兩百年,電話之類的東西會全部被淘汰掉,電視和電腦自然也會消失不見!因為那時候,人類的身體── 會自動配備了這些機具和它的功能。若想跟某人聯絡,不需要撥電話或動任何按鍵,只消從裝在自己體內的電話機,把對方的號碼發射出去(接收天線就裝在眉毛或頭髮裏),也有同樣配備的對方就會收到這通電話「哈囉,早安!」你看,比起電話,這方便多了。
Furthermore, the range of techn
