标题:"I'd rather betray the world than for the world to betray me"
“宁肯我负天下人 ,休教天下人负我。”
This is me upon seeing what ruthlessness Cao Cao is capable of without a second thought in ep 3:
我看到曹操在第三集中自然流露出来的冷酷时,我脸上的表情就是这样的:
I am madly, obsessively in love with Cao Cao. Oh, don't get me wrong, the man is a monster. But he is a smart, capable, somehow utterly magnetic monster. And he says things which somehow make you see the reasoning of his actions however horrific, and I find myself almost on his side and horrified for it.
我疯狂地、着魔地爱上了曹操。噢,不要误解。他是个恶魔。但是他是个聪明、能干、魅力四射的恶魔。他总是会说一些话,令你不可思议地明白他极可怕的行为背后的逻辑。我发觉我自己几乎要支持他的做法了。这令我很恐惧。
“事已至此,悲叹何用”
This is after all, a man who slaughtered his uncle's family on mistaken assumption and when he learned of his mistake didn't stop but instead killed his uncle too so he wouldn't go to the authorities.
毕竟他是个能做出这样的事情的人:他因错误的假设,屠杀了他伯父一家人。发现自己错了之后,他非但没有停手,而且把伯父也都杀了,免得他去报官。
And after it all, he came back to the corse-filled house to stay for the rainy night and eat the dead family's food. He's terrifying. I think if it comes to war between him and the old warlord running Han, providing Cao Cao has enough soldiers, it's no-contest. He's incredibly smart and he has no weakness - whether moral, emotional, or otherwise (unlike e.g. old warlord who was susceptible to flattery and not the best judge of character).
这些都发生之后,他回到那个铺满死尸的房子去避雨,去吃死者的食物。他太恐怖了。如果是要跟那个控制着汉朝的那个老军阀打仗的话,曹操一旦有了足够的兵力,这仗就不用打了。他无比的聪明,而且没有缺点——不论人格上、感情上、或是其他地方的。(不像那个易受谄媚又知人不明的老军阀。)
But despite it all, I can't help but love him and root for him. Somehow he still comes across as magnetic and so very human. It's insane. Perhaps it's the fact that he doesn't lie to himself about the kind of person he is and never covers up his inner truth.
尽管如此,我都不可自拔地爱他、支持他。他不知怎的还是十分有魅力、十分有人性。真的太不可思议了。这可能是因为他从不向自己隐瞒自己真实的个性的缘故吧。
“自古以来就是大奸似忠,大伪似真”
Btw, I have no idea who the actor is but he is amazing. He owns the drama. I
want to see everything he's ever been in, except for the whole lack-of-subtitles issue.
另外,我不知道这个演员是谁,不过他棒极了。整个剧中数他就牛B。我要看他所有拍过的戏!不过没有字幕是个问题。
