就在不久之前，万帷网上还充斥着如此这般的「商业广告」：

Not too long ago, the World Wound Web was filled with commercial ads such as this:

无论白天，还是夜晚~♪ ♪

Doesn't matter if it's day or night~ ♪ ♪

「超级英雄」沐浴皂，让我舞动翩翩~♪ ♪

"Superhero" bath soap makes me dance with steps so light~ ♪ ♪

——是的，彼时的万帷网就像它宣传的这些商品一样，充满肥皂的味道，令人心生厌倦。阿格莱雅原本许诺我们什么？万帷网是分享知识的网络，是开放、平等、协作、共享的伟大平台。可结果又如何？劣币驱逐良币，我们不是用垃圾信息淹没别人的感官，就是借助平台开启无穷无尽的争吵。我曾向刻法勒道出自己的迷惘，而刻法勒也只是沉默不语。如果一切就这样下去，在这数字洪流的尽头，究竟是什么样的命运在等待我们？速度根本不是文明的伙伴，它只是吞噬人性的一头巨兽！

Yes, back then, the World Wound Web was much like the products it advertised, full of the scent of soap, and utterly exhausting. And what was it that Aglaea had promised us? The World Wound Web was supposed to be a network for sharing knowledge, a great platform for openness, equality, collaboration, and sharing. But what was the reality? Bad information drove out the good, and we weren't just drowning people's senses with garbage data; we were using the platform to stir up endless arguments. I once voiced my confusion to Kephale, but they just remained silent. If things keep going this way, what kind of fate awaits us at the end of this digital torrent? Speed is no ally of civilization — it's just a beast that devours humanity!

不过，有必要澄清一点——虽然我和许多人一样，在公民大会上向阿格莱雅女士投下了反对票，但我仍然认为她是一位诚实的正人君子。我想，那些为我们仗义执言的元老院公仆们也会同意这个看法：她只是一位可悲的盲人，无视现实，自顾自地在幻想的世界中行走。

However, I must clarify one thing — although, like many others, I voted against Ms. Aglaea at the citizens' assembly, I still believe she was an honest and upright person. I would think that even the public servants from the Council of Elders who spoke out for us would agree: she was merely a tragic blind soul, oblivious to reality, walking alone in her fantasy world.

当然，阿格莱雅女士的离世令人遗憾。但当我写下这段心里话的时候，失去了金线的万帷网正用每秒以字节记的速度传输着信息——这让我突然有种生活回到了现实的感觉。我沏了一盅茶，一边饶有兴致地阅读着《悬锋列王纪》，一边等待着有声版《多洛斯侠盗列传》下载完毕。在昨天的我的眼中，这肯定是一种令人难以忍受的慢节奏生活——可是，在我们真的失去了金线，万帷网的速度已经不比飞天坛递更有优势的时候…我却发现自己找回了生活的平衡，重获了内心的宁静。

Of course, it's unfortunate that Ms. Aglaea has passed. But as I write this, the World Wound Web, now severed from the golden thread, transmits information at a rate measured in bytes per second — and this suddenly makes me feel like life has returned to reality. I brewed a cup of tea, reading The Kings of Kremnos with interest, while waiting for the audiobook of The Adventures of Dolos the Thief to finish downloading. Yesterday, I would have found this unbearably slow-paced. But now, after we've truly lost the golden thread, and the World Wound Web no longer has any advantage over Flying Amphora in speed... I find myself regaining balance in life, rediscovering inner peace.

从那些「商业广告」的意义上，万帷网或许已经死了；但在我心里，它却刚刚重获新生。（离愁时三刻匿名发，积极回复评论，但注意不要暴露身份）
