世上没有一个城市比得上欧莎匹亚那么倾向于享受无忧无虑的生活。为了缓冲由生至死的突变,它的居民建造了一个一模一样的地下城,所有经过特别脱水处理的尸体,保留着一层黄色皮肤包住骸骨,都给带到地下城去继续进行生前的活动。关于活动的性质,首要的考虑是死者生时心境最舒泰的时刻:大多数尸体坐在饭桌旁边,或者在跳舞,或者在吹奏乐器。活人的欧莎匹亚所从事的行业和专业,在地下城也同样经营着——最低限度,都是生者乐于经营而永不厌烦的行业:钟表匠在环绕身边的那些不再走动的钟表里,把干枯的耳朵凑近走了音的老祖父摆钟;演员睁开空洞的眼读剧本,而理发匠握着干刷子在他的脸上涂肥皂;带笑的女子骷髅在给小牝牛的尸体榨奶。 No city in the world is as comfortable as Eupepas in favor of a carefree life. To cushion the sudden change from birth to death, its inhabitants built an identical dungeon, all specially dehydrated bodies, with a layer of yellow skin covering the bones, were brought to the dungeon to continue their life activities . As for the nature of the activity, the most important consideration is the moment when the deceased was most comfortable: most of the corpse sat beside the table, either dancing or playing the instrument. The industries and professions that Osapieia’s people live in are also run in the dungeon - at least, for the life-long business that is never bored: the watchmakers are no longer moving around In the clock, the old grandfather’s pendulum clock with the dry ears approached; the actor opened his empty eye reading script, and the barber smoked a soap on his face with a dry brush; the smiling woman’s skull gave the young man Cow’s body squeezed milk.
