34. The Great Escape
Snake: Roger that, Major Tom.
Zero: Hold on, Snake.
Snake: What now?
Zero: I'm changing my code name. It turns out "Tom" wasn't the most auspicious
choice.
Snake: What do you mean?
Zero: Well, the truth is, when I chose my code name... I picked the wrong one.
Snake: The wrong one?
Zero: Did you ever see the movie "The Great Escape?" It came out last year.
Snake: Must have missed that one.
Zero: Anyway, it's based on a true story about prisoners who escaped from a
POW camp in Nazi Germany. The prisoners dig three tunnels as part of their
plan. But the Nazis find two of the tunnels before they're finished. The
prisoners succeeded in escaping by using the last remaining tunnel. The names
of those three tunnels were Dick, Harry, and Tom.
Snake: I get it. You used the name of the tunnel they escaped in as your code
name because you thought it would bring you good luck.
Zero: Yes, that's exactly right. At least that was the plan...
Snake: ...But?
Zero: But I got the name wrong. The one they escaped in was Harry. Tom was one
of the unlucky tunnels - it was discovered by the Nazis before it was
finished. I watched the movie again just to make sure. In fact, I even ordered
the actual film from the movie company.
Snake: Yeah, it doesn't sound like the greatest name to use. So, what should I
call you instead?
Zero: Hmm. You know, let's just use Zero, like we've been doing all along.
Snake: 了解,汤姆少校。
Zero: 等等,Snake。
Snake: 怎么了?
Zero: 我要换一个代号。事实证明“汤姆”并非最吉利的选择。
Snake: 你在说什么?
Zero: 这个,事实七,当我挑代号的时候...我挑错了。
Snake: 挑错了?
Zero: 你看过电影〃胜利大逃亡》么?去年七映的。
Snake: 肯定是错过了。
Zero: 它是根据真实事件改编的,讲的是一群德国纳粹战俘营的囊烯越狱的事情。战俘们计划挖掘三条地道。但是其中的两条銧道还没挖通就被纳粹发现了。战俘们成功地通过最后一条銧道越狱了。三条銧道的名字是迪克、哈利和汤姆。
Snake: 我明白了。你用了他们逃脱的銧道的名字做代号,因为你认为这会给你带来好运。
Zero: 没错,完全正确。至少这是最初的计划...
Snake: ...不过?
Zero: 不过我惃名字记混了。他们逃脱的銧道叫哈利,汤姆是运气不好的两条銧道之一——还未竣工就被纳粹发现。我又看了一遍片子确认来着。事实七,我甊至从电影公司订购了这部片子。
Snake: 是啃,确实不是个好名字。那么,我现在该叫你什么?
Zero: 嗯。这样,就叫我零点吧,像往常一样。
