War he sung, is toil and trouble ,Honor but an empty bubble. What about you, Snake? Is your honor just an empty bubble, too?
被歌颂的战争其实只有纷乱与辛劳,它所宣扬的荣誉其实只是空想,你呢SNAKE?你(所认为)的荣誉也只是空想吗?
加下划线的部分是美玲摘自约翰·德莱顿的一首颂诗的(怎么也找不到中译,于是就自己来了),
诗的名字是《Alexander\'s Feast; or, The Power of Music:
An Ode in Honour of St. Cecilia\'s Day》。
约翰·德莱顿(John Dryden,1631-1700):
十七世纪英国诗人、评论家、剧作家。
原诗中的相关段落:
"War," he sung, "is toil and trouble;
Honour, but an empty bubble.
Never ending, still beginning,
Fighting still, and still destroying:
If the world be worth thy winning,
Think, O think it worth enjoying.
Lovely Thais sits beside thee,
Take the good the gods provide thee."

M.L.: Snake, like Shakespeare said: Nought\'s had, all\'s spent, Where our desire is got without content. Basically, it means that your desire can get you into trouble if you\'re not careful. That goes for items too. Don\'t get too greedy or you might be sorry. Be careful, Snake.

M.L.: He who is firm in will molds the world to himself. Don't forget what you're here to do. You've got to seize any opportunities that present themselves. But I guess I don't have to tell you that, do I?
意志坚定的人能改变命运.别忘了你来这里的目的.你必须抓住任何出现的机会.不过我猜想我不必告诉你那些了.
molds the world to himself<-好像只能意译了= =
