Arcadia: Floating Eden

Arcadia was not a ship.
阿卡迪亞號並不是一艘船。

It was a floating civilization—
它是一個漂浮中的文明——

a self-contained world built on comfort, order, and perfect continuity.
一個由舒適、秩序與無縫運行構成的封閉世界。

Inside its glass domes and cascading gardens,
在玻璃穹頂與層層瀑布花園之中，

time moved smoothly, almost mercifully.
時間流動得平順，近乎仁慈。

Meals arrived on schedule.
餐點準時出現。

Corridors curved without corners.
走廊彎曲，卻沒有稜角。

Nothing felt accidental.
沒有任何事情看起來是偶然的。

For most passengers, Arcadia promised safety without questions.
對多數乘客而言，阿卡迪亞提供的是不必提問的安全。

For two children hiding between decks,
但對躲藏在船艙之間的兩個孩子來說，

it offered something far more dangerous:
它給予的，卻是更危險的東西——

a place where everything was designed to keep moving forward—
一個所有設計都只為了「持續前進」的地方——

and nothing was meant to be found.
而沒有任何事物，是為了被發現而存在的。
