It’s the Ten Duel Commandments
這是決鬥的十誡

It’s the Ten Duel Commandments
這是決鬥的十誡

Number one!
第一誡!

The challenge: demand satisfaction
先提出 要求交出賠償
If they apologize, no need for further action
如果對方退讓 就直接打包回家

Number two!
第二誡!

If they don’t, grab a friend, that’s your second
若碰壁 快搬兄弟 讓他幫忙

Your lieutenant when there’s reckoning to be reckoned
他做助理 來算需要算清楚的帳

Number three!
第三誡!
Have your seconds meet face to face
讓副手來個面對面

Negotiate a peace…
方便談個條件...

Or negotiate a time and place
或是談好時間和地點

This is commonplace, ‘specially ‘tween recruits
這十分常見 特別在士兵之間

Most disputes die, and no one shoots
爭執結束 一槍未出

Number four!
第四誡

If they don’t reach a peace, that’s alright
談判若破裂也沒關係
Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site
該找幾把槍和找位醫生參與
You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility
你先把帳付清, 態度要和藹可親

You have him turn around so he can have deniability
讓他轉過去 才能把道德責任推乾淨

Five!
五!

Duel before the sun is in the sky
決鬥訂在破曉前寧靜

Pick a place to die where it’s high and dry
找塊風水地來結束生命

Number six!
第六誡!

Leave a note for your next of kin
留個信給你的至親
Tell ‘em where you been. Pray that hell or heaven lets you in
交代好事情, 祈禱天堂地獄讓你進

Seven!
七!

Confess your sins. Ready for the moment
趕快告解, 最好做好準備
Of adrenaline when you finally face your opponent
別讓腎上腺素讓你的生命給人報廢

Number eight!
第八誡!

Your last chance to negotiate
想談和最後的機會
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight…
最後說幾句 看看還有沒有路可退

Sure

But your man has to answer for his words, Burr

With his life? We both know that’s absurd, sir
要他命?這也有ㄧ點太瞎 閣下

Hang on, how many men died because Lee was inexperienced and ruinous?
等等 因為李這個廢物的無能損失了多少人的命?

Okay, so we’re doin’ this
好吧 看來沒餘地
