把这一句，留给此刻的你

Columbus and his men, they say, Conveyed the virus hither Whereby my features rot away And vital powers wither; Yet had they not traversed the seas And come infected back, Why, think of all the luxuries That modern life would lack.

他们说，哥伦布和他的手下把病毒带到了这里，我的五官腐烂了，活力枯萎了;然而，如果他们没有漂洋过海，回来后又受到感染，那么，想想现代生活中所缺少的一切奢侈品吧。
