[中译/Eng.]つまらないお話

Title: つまらないお話 | 无聊的故事 | Boring stories Album: Compilation CD-BOOK 東方 玉手箱 Circle: 凋叶棕（for Melonbooks Records） Event: C98 Vocal: めらみぽっぷ Lyrics: RD-Sounds Arrangement: RD-Sounds Original: 夜が降りてくる　～ Evening Star + 少女幻葬　～ Necro-Fantasy + ネクロファンタジア + 憑坐は夢と現の間に　～ Necro-Fantasia

个人认为该曲的主人公以及小故事里闯祸的人是梅莉，尽管原曲都是紫的。故事线可能如下：梅莉闯入幻想乡并破坏了规则（可能进入结界这一行为本身就破坏了规则），然后被灵梦和魔梨沙打败，并且被赶出了幻想乡。临走前，魔梨沙送给了梅莉一个盒子。（本曲出现的灵梦和魔梨沙应该都是东方旧作的，因此某种意义上已经被「遗忘了」。旧作的故事可能是梅莉早期的幻想，并且已经被抛弃了。另外盒子可能与魔梨沙的星之器有关？） 梅莉从来没确认过盒子里有什么，但是为了忘记，会把自己认为「渣滓」「淤泥」一样的东西封存在里面，包括自己的罪过以及幻想/故事。她似乎需要对故事说谎才能骗它们进入盒子（或许故事们不想被封存，或者想要有个欢喜的结局），因此故事们「被背叛」了。 梅莉发现「希望」还在盒子外面。她认为「希望」也是罪过，于是把「希望」也放进了盒子。最后盒子里的所有东西，包括「希望」，全都消失了/被忘记了。 I think the protagonist and the “certain someone” in the song is Merry, despite the original songs being Yukari’s (I know, I know, cliché). Here’s what I think happened in the song: Merry went into Gensōkyō and broke the rules (maybe breaking the barrier was the crime itself). She got defeated by Reimu and Marisa and got expelled from Gensōkyō. As a parting gift, she got a mysterious box from Marisa. (Note that the Reimu and Marisa here are from the PC-98 Touhou games, which were less famous than the Windows games, so in a sense, they were “forgotten”. Maybe the mini-story is one of Merry’s older fantasies, than had since been disregarded. Also the box may have something to do with Marisa’s Casket of Stars?) Merry never checked what’s in the box, but she concealed everything that she considered “dreg / mud-like” inside to be forgotten. These things include her sins and her own fantasies / stories. She had to lie to the stories to get them inside (maybe they don’t want to be sealed away? Or as the mini-story in the song might be hinting, the stories want a happy ending?). This is why the stories were “betrayed”. Merry found that her “hope” was somehow left outside the box. She saw “hope” as a sin, so she put “hope” inside the box too. Eventually everything in the box, along with “hope”, were gone / forgotten.

注 | Notes:

1. 開けて悔しき玉手箱：
   日语成语，意为「和期待不相符而大失所望」。来自浦岛太郎打开玉手箱的故事。这也是八云紫在萃梦想和绯想天里的技能之一。
   Literally “the Tamatebako (Jewelled Box) that one will regret opening”, a Japanese idiom roughtly meaning “to be disappointed when something doesn’t happen as expected”. This idiom came from the tale of Urashima Tarō, where the protagonist regretted opening the Tamatebako. This phrase is also the name of one of Yukari’s skills in Immaterial and Missing Power and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.
2. 这一段是致敬了日本童谣《浦岛太郎》第一段。前面提到的「開けて悔しき玉手箱」也是本曲的歌词之一。
   This verse is a reference to the first verse of the Japanese children’s song Urashima Tarō. The phrase 開けて悔しき玉手箱 also appears later in this song.
