When we hit 35, 000 feet,

当我们升到三万五千英尺的高空
we'll have reached the tropopause, the great belt of calm air,

我们就会到平流层在完美的无风带
as close as it will ever get to the ozone.

甚至会到达臭氧层
I dreamed we were there. The plane leapt the tropopause, the safe air,

我梦到过我们去那儿飞上平流层到达安全气流
and attained the outer rim, the ozone, which was ragged and torn,

在臭氧外层边缘那些零散破烂的碎片
patches of it, threadbare as old cheesecloth, and that was...frightening.

像旧布一样破旧让人惊恐
But I saw something only I could see,

但我看到了一些只有我能看到的东西
because of my astonishing ability to see such things.

因为我有看到它们的惊人能力
Souls were rising, from the earth, far below.

灵魂在上升从远在下面的地球上
Souls of the dead of people

因为饥荒
who'd perished from famine, from war, from the plague,

战争和瘟疫死去的灵魂
and they floated up...

飘舞而上
