这一定是一个诡计,否则你就不可能做到。这就是我们所处的困境。我们必须有一个具有如此多同理心的指挥官,这样他才能像虫子一样思考、理解他们并预见到他们。 So much compassion that he could win the love of his underlings and work with them like a perfect machine, as perfect as the buggers.但具有如此大的同情心的人永远不可能成为我们需要的杀手。永远不可能愿意不惜一切代价去战斗。如果你知道的话,你就做不到。如果你是那种即使知道也会这么做的人,你就永远无法充分理解这些混蛋。
(It had to be a trick or you couldn't have done it. It's the bind we were in. We had to have a commander with so much empathy that he would think like the buggers, understand them and anticipate them. So much compassion that he could win the love of his underlings and work with them like a perfect machine, as perfect as the buggers. But somebody with that much compassion could never be the killer we needed. Could never go into battle willing to win at all costs. If you knew, you couldn't do it. If you were the kind of person who would do it even if you knew, you could never have understood the buggers well enough.)
