As you damage Isaac, he goes from being curled up on the floor, to ascending into the light above. I believe this signifies two things. Firstly it signifies Believing himself to be incorrupt of sin and that he will ascend to heaven when he dies. but I also think it is a metaphor for Isaac Isaac ascending from the box to the outside world. When you beat Isaac he is leaving box, and going back up to the light of the world above. We are given a cutscene of Isaac studying the bible after leaving the box.
在你伤害以撒的过程中,他从蜷缩在地板上,变成飞到上方照下的圣光的形态。我认为这表现了两点。首先以撒认为他是纯洁无罪的,他死后会升入天堂。我同时觉得这是一个隐喻,喻示以撒爬出箱子,回到现实。当你打败以撒,他的确离开了箱子,回到光明中。我们接着看到以撒离开箱子后研读圣经。
After reading through the Bible. Isaac comes to the realization that he he is indeed "corrupted with sin". The real world has hurt him deeply once again. He turns to the box once more to go back to escape reality and his own self whome he hates.
读完圣经,以撒意识到,他的的确确是“恶贯满盈”。真相再次深深地伤害了他。他又一次回到了逃避现实和他所厌恶的自己的状态里。
The Blue Baby 小蓝人
When you beat the cathedral 6 times you unlock the polaroid. A picture of a happy moment with Isaac, his mom and... Dad?
当你打通天堂6次,你会解锁全家福。一张记录幸福的照片,上面有以撒,他的妈妈和……爸爸?
The polaroid depicts one moment in Isaac's life where he was not unahppy, where the outside world was not a horrible place for him. The polaroid shows the turning point in isaac's life and how his life took a turn for the worst. His dad abandoned Isaac and his mother in some way, leaving both of them strucken with grief. Isaac's mother became bitter and her entire life now revolves around religion. Isaac was then ignored and neglected and retreated to his world of games and toys. His depression caused him to become the victim of the bullying of the other kids. Which leads us back to the chest.
全家福描绘了以撒生活中他开心的日子,那时候外面的世界还不是那么糟糕。这张全家福展示了以撒人生中的转折点,以及他的生活如何转眼沉入地狱。他的爸爸以某种方式抛弃了以撒和他的妈妈,留下痛苦不堪的两人。以撒的妈妈变得乖戾,她的全部生活都绕着宗教转。以撒被忽视,并退缩到他游戏和玩具的世界里。他的压抑情绪导致他被其他的孩子欺负。这样就又回到了箱子的话题上。
When you bring Isaac the polaroid in the Cathedral. Isaac is reminded that the world is not the completely terrible place he percieves it to be. It forces him to face the truth of the situation. Isaac has locked himselfself within the chest and is dying of suffocation inside of it. You encounter the Blue Baby or ??? as he is called in the game. The blue baby is Isaac seeing himself dead or dying of suffocation. When you die in Binding of Isaac, Isaac really is dying of suffocation.
当你带着全家福进天堂,以撒会被提醒,他的生活并不是他想的那么糟。这又逼着他再一次面对现实:以撒正把自己锁在箱子里,在里面快要窒息而死了。你接下来会遇见小蓝人,游戏里被称为???。小蓝人是已经死亡,或者说即将缺氧而死的以撒。当你在【以撒的结合】里死去,以撒在现实中真的是窒息而死了。
Isaac realizing that he is dying of suffocation battles himself within his own mind. Defeating ??? symbolizes Isaac overcoming himself and leaving the box before he becomes the blue baby and dies inside of the box. The box within his mind is a wondeful place for him to be. But in reality, in the real world he is constantly denying; His unhealthy habit is killing him. Seeing the polaroid is like a slap in the face for isaac. The game finally ends with a montage of photos throughout isaacs life in the real world. He has overcome The Chest, but at the back of his mind, he still has a urge to go back.
以撒意识到他正因窒息而慢慢死去,所以他在脑中做着剧烈的思想斗争。打败???意味着以撒克服自身,在他真的变成小蓝人并死在箱子里之前,离开了那里。箱子在他脑海中是他的绝佳处所。但现实中,在那个他不断否认的现实世界里,他不健康的习惯快要了他的命。全家福就像是打醒以撒的一个大耳光。游戏终于以一组以撒真实世界中生活照的蒙太奇结束。他战胜了金箱子,但是在他的内心深处,他仍然有回去的冲动。
Here is a picture of the hidden message at the end:
这是结尾处的一个隐藏的信息【图中意思:到箱子里去!】
Hopefully my analysis has given you some ideas about the story of Binding of Isaac. For an indie game like this, it has a very in depth story. Finding and deciphering clues about the story of the game is all part of the fun of playing. Past the dark humour and funny moments in the game lies a very serious and sad story of an abused and depressed child trying to cope with the real world. Thanks for reading if you have gotten yourself this far and happy hunting.
希望我的分析能让大家了解以撒故事的概貌。作为一个独立游戏,它的故事实在是很有深意。寻找并破译剧情线索,是整个游戏的乐趣所在。这个游戏在黑色幽默和搞笑时分背后,讲述了一个心情压抑、被欺负的小孩挣扎着想活下去的悲伤而严肃的故事。
谢谢阅读(如果你真的看到这儿了)并祝游戏愉快~
