列颠城玩大炮，就跟虾米糯和矮阿螺一起被关到监狱里，隔着厚重木门铁窗面前
还有个切割肚皮用的大炼斧刑具晃来晃去惊吓本圣，那又是谁当政时搞出的白色
恐怖啊？与之相比，不列颠王还在位时，死了免费治疗还有零用钱领，也不会被
骂浪费公帑，还轻声细语的安慰一番。黑刺刺汝做与说给人的感觉真的差很多咧
～因为汝只见过那种苛刻的礼教美德表现，所以就真的以为美德的实践就是那样
罢了…是吗？而且本圣感觉汝一心向往并追求的自由，实际上是深深的被美德牵
制，只是汝没察觉罢了。真的领悟自由的话，汝不会去在意什么蝼蚁般渺小的美
德，顶天立地如盘古的巨人根本不会对脚下的蚂蚁挡住自己去路而发怒，除非…
某个自以为已变成巨人但仍是原样的蚂蚁忘不了过去被别的蚂蚁挡道，然后想用
新得到的力量回去报仇。
‘于是汝的自由失去拘束后本身就变成更大自由的枷锁’某个诗人说。

就有这段不同版本的译文。在此感谢网友 UAC桑以及那篇译文的作者让我有参考

牙的黑刺王为何有那么多文章啊？！开始陷入痛苦中T_T）
