  head of that room there's a throne,
  而最里面就是王座
• 
  
  sort of an elevated throne, so instantly,
  一个高出一截的王座 刹那间
• 
  
  without even thinking, in my head, I'm thinking:
  在我脑海里闪现一个念头
• 
  
  wow, that's the throne,
  天呐 那就是王座
• 
  
  and then I thought, I just became Benjamin Rush.
  然后我想 我也成了本杰明·拉什
• 
  
  Just like that, I went right into the monarchy vortex.
  不用盯着看多久 一瞬之间
• 
  
  It didn't really take me very long,
  君主的权威便征服了我
• 
  
  so I can't chortle at Rush anymore.
  所以我再没资格取笑拉什
• 
  
  So there is something impressive,
  对于你这名可能从未到过欧洲的
• 
  
  and particularly at this moment if you had been a colonist--
  殖民地居民来说
• 
  
  and not that many people I should say
  应该说很多住在殖民地的人
• 
  
  necessarily even got to travel to Europe;
  都没去过欧洲
