打了麻醉針的老虎

The anesthetized tiger,

大口張開

mouth wide open,

穿斑衣的女郎

the lady in leopardskin

把頭探進去

inserting her head

打了麻醉針的女郎

The anesthetized woman

綁在木輪上轉

spinning on a disc,

矇了眼的飛刀手

the blindfolded knifethrower

一刀一刀擲向前

slinging one blade after another

打了麻醉針的飛刀手

The anesthetized knifethrower,

脖子架在刀刃上

neck poised on the knife edge,

獨臂的空中飛人出場

the one-armed acrobat perched

攀住他來回盪鞦韆

on his trapeze, swooping back and forth

打了麻醉針的空中飛人

The anesthetized acrobat

凌空聽見伙伴哭

catching from the heights his comrade’s cry

驚呼拍掌的觀眾

The audience screaming, clapping,

慌忙掩眼臉

shutting their faces

打了麻醉針的觀眾

The anesthetized audience

惱怨看不清

grumbling they can’t see

狠心腸的魔術師

The heartless magician

把「一剎那」慢動作重現

showing again “that moment”,

its slow motion
