The elevator continued its impossibly slow ascent. Or at least I imagined it was ascent.
There was no telling for sure: it was so slow that all sense of direction simply vanished.
It could have been going down for all I know, or maybe it wasn't moving at all.
But let's just assume it was going up. Merely a guess.
Maybe I'd gone up twelve stories, then down three.
Maybe I'd circled the globe. How would I know?

電梯以極緩慢的速度繼續上升。我想電梯應該是在上升吧。
但確實是不是這樣我並不知道。因為速度實在太慢,所以連方向的感覺都消失了。
或許它是在下降,或許它根本是靜止不動也不一定。
只是試著從前後狀況來考慮,我自己權宜地決定電梯應該是上升的而已。純屬推測。
沒有任何稱得上是根據的東西。
或許上升了12層樓又下降了3層樓,繞地球一周又回來了也說不定。我不清楚。
