不錯的房間。才怪。
How do you beat this game??
怎麼打通這個遊戲？？
留言靠近後自動顯示
So first off I’m sure you can deduce this, but this game is not connected to the internet, all of the notes you’re going to see have been written BY Coda.
首先我很確定你能推測出，但我還是要說，這個遊戲沒有連網。你看到的所有留言都是Coda一人寫的。
no point to this
沒有任何意義
Woah, holy shit
哇哦，臥*
很多“留言”
遠處密密麻麻全是藍色氣泡，但那些地方我們無法走過去（除非開了）。這遊戲太冷門，名字又叫《新手指南》容易搜索出其他視頻和內容，連怎麼開都很難搜
This was actually the first game of his that I ever played, this was shortly after I met him at a weekend game jam in Sacramento where I grew up.
實際上這款遊戲是他所有遊戲當中我最早玩過的，在我家鄉薩克拉門託的一次週末遊戲大會上，我遇見了他，並在之後不久玩到了這款遊戲。
I saw him working on this very level, and it was just so different from anything that anyone else was doing so right away I was like, I have to be friends with this person.
我看到他的時候，他恰好就在做這個關卡，而這個關卡與其他所有人做的所有遊戲都大相徑庭，所以當時我立刻就想，我一定要跟這個人交朋友。
In retrospect I think I was probably a bit too pushy trying to get his attention.
現在回想起來，當時我為了得到他的注意大概有點過於一意孤行了。
I was overenthusiastic.
我有些狂熱過頭了。
But he was very gracious about it and very patient with me.
但他卻表現得非常和藹可親，而且對我很有耐心。
And I cooled off eventually.
而我最後也冷靜下來了。
Feel free to skip over any of those notes if they’re not doing anything for you, nothing extra will happen if you read all of them.
如果你覺得這些留言對你沒有任何用的話，你可以隨意跳過，即使你把它們全都讀完了也不會有什麼額外的事情發生。
讀過的都變成灰色
Can u guys hear me?
你們能聽得到我嗎？
Hello!
你們好！
Reasonable.
有道理。
The guy over there wrote much wrong.
那邊那個傢伙老是寫錯。
I’d rather be doing literally anything other than playing this
說實在的我寧願幹任何事也不想玩這個遊戲
Hey I can type here!
嘿我能在這兒打字！
There are too many messages in this area
這片地區的留言太多了
why
為什麼
In a world full of notes. One man will read all of them. This Summer. You will believe blue speech bubbles can talk.
在一個到處都是留言的世界裡，一個人會把它們全都讀一遍。這個夏天，你就會相信藍色的聊天氣泡真的會講話。
“在一個到處都是留言的世界裡，一個人會把它們全都讀一遍。這個夏天，你就會相信藍色的聊天氣泡真的會講話。”
Do you feel like a hero yet?
你現在覺得你像一個英雄了嗎？

Cool cavern bro

We’re running out of space. SOon, we will suffocate.
空間不多了。再過不久，我們就會窒息而死。
Do not be afraid. Do care.
不要害怕。要有愛。
I just saw a flying penguin, let me tell you it was the most majestic thing I have ever seen! I don’t feel like living because nothing will ever be as majestic as that. I never want to see again if nothing will ever be that beautiful again. I am crying now and plan on ripping my eyes out. I must go now to do that.
我剛看見了一隻會飛的企鵝，我跟你說這是我有生以來見過的最壯麗的東西！我不想活了因為這世上沒有什麼別的東西能和它一樣壯麗了，如果再也沒有像那一樣美麗的事物我就再也不想看任何東西了。我正在哭泣並打算把我的眼睛摳出來，我必須這麼做。
一條超長“留言”
——————————
Either way, to me they convey a sense of loneliness, I see this person who’s filled with thoughts and feeling and beliefs, and has no way to express them except as scattered and unheard voices in a game that wasn’t meant to be played.
不管怎麼說，我覺得它們傳達出了一種孤獨感。我能看到這個人充滿了幻想、情感和信念，但卻無從表達它們，只能通過在一個本意不是用來玩的遊戲裡面放置零散的、無法被聽到的聲音來體現出來。
But it’s ironic, isn’t it, that in playing this game and seeing how alone Coda often felt, that we get to know him better, and actually kind of connect with him.
但是這也有點兒諷刺對吧。在玩這個遊戲的時候，我們能看出來Coda經常忍受著孤單，於是我們對他的瞭解就更進了一步，而且實際上與他有了某種交流。
And I have to be honest with you, this idea is really seductive to me!
而且我跟你說實話，這種想法對我很有誘惑力！
That I could just play someone’s game and see the voices in their head and get to know them better and have to do less of the messy in-person socializing.
我能通過玩一個人的遊戲就聽到他內心裡的聲音，這樣就避免了很多與他個人的繁雜瑣碎的面對面社交活動。
I could just get to know you through your work.
我能通過你的作品認識你。
I think this is way I always liked Coda’s games so much, is because it felt like they let me have that connection.
我覺得這就是我總是十分喜愛Coda做的遊戲的原因，這感覺就像是它們讓我與作者聯繫在了一起。
I felt as though he was inviting me personally into his world.
我感覺就好像他邀請我獨自進入了他的內心世界。
And then I feel less lonely too.
然後我也不再覺得那麼寂寞了。

At the end of this level we’re going to see the puzzle again, and here I’ll tell you what I think the puzzle means.
在本關的最後我們又將見到那個謎題，現在我來告訴你我覺得這個謎題的含義是什麼。
Each of these games represents an idea that was on Coda’s mind at the time that he was making it.
這些遊戲中的每一款都代表了Coda在製作它們時自己心中的想法。
And the puzzle is a way of closing the door on a previous chapter of his life before moving onto the next one.
而這個謎題就代表著在進入自己人生的下一篇章之前關上前面篇章的門。

HALP
求助
۞
In each of his games, after exploring a theme that he might find difficult, Coda can place this puzzle that he knows has a reliable solution, he understands exactly how it works, and so it gives him a simple mechanism for moving on.
在他的每一款遊戲中，在他對一個他覺得有困難的主題進行探索之後，Coda就能把這個他知道確切解法的謎題放在這裡，他完全知道這個謎題的原理，這也就以一種簡單的方式給了他繼續前行的動力。
And because there’s this dark area between the doors, a space between space, before you move on you get to pause, just for a moment, a few seconds to reflect on and let go of the events that lead you here.
而且正因為在兩扇門之間存在著一片陰暗的空間，也就是兩片空間之間的空間，你就能在繼續之前先停歇一會兒，用幾秒鐘的時間回憶並忘卻那些帶領你來到這裡的事情。
To step back and connect the pieces together, to grasp at that elusive bigger picture.
你就能後退一步並將所有的碎片拼在一起。

第二扇門打開後，走廊裡有唯一的一個留言
How do you leave notes?
你們怎麼留言的？
唯一一個走到這裡的“留言”，他說：“你們怎麼留言的？”
繼續往裡走，伴隨著越來越清晰嘈雜的打字機聲音，我們來到終點
一盞突兀的路燈，周圍佈滿密密麻麻的打字機。它們在不斷地自發打字，對我們生成文本
