《基地前奏》 在《基地与地球》中广袤荒凉的星际旅程之后,《基地前奏》将镜头拉回到基地三部曲开场之前几十年,繁华的帝国之都川陀。开创整个基地故事根基.故事的时间线来到《基地》的几十年前,彼时的哈里·谢顿还未开创出完整的心理史学,只是发表了一篇论文。但正是这篇关乎可以预言未来的论文将谢顿带上一段逃亡冒险之旅。

哈里·谢顿望着自己的全息像,它是由夫铭的投影机投射出来的,这要比照镜子更醒目、更实用。事实上,现在房间里仿佛有两个谢顿。

1
-

谢顿仔细打量这件新短袖上衣的袖子,赫利肯心态使他希望色调最好再朴素点,但他还是谢天谢地,因为夫铭选择的颜色已比这个世界流行的柔和许多。(谢顿想到那两个小流氓穿的衣服,心中便打了一个寒战。)

2
-

他说:“我想我得戴上这顶帽子。”

3
-

“在皇区中的确如此,这里不戴帽子是没教养的象征。但是在别的地方,礼俗则又有不同。”

4
-

谢顿叹了一口气。这顶圆帽以柔软的材料制成,戴上后会根据他的头型自动调整。整圈帽檐都一样宽,但比那两个小流氓的帽檐要窄些。谢顿注意到戴上帽子之后,帽檐弯成一个优雅的弧度,这才稍稍感到安慰一些。

5
-

“它没有系在下巴底下的帽带。”

6
-

“当然没有,那是年轻朋客最前卫的流行。”

7
-

“年轻什么?”

8
-

“朋客,是指为了惊世骇俗而穿戴某些衣饰的人,我确信你们赫利肯上也有这种人。”

9
-

谢顿哼了一声:“有些人把一边头发留到齐肩的长度,却把另外一边剃光。”想到那种样子,他不禁笑出声来。

10
-

夫铭嘴角微微撇了一下:“我想那样一定难看极了。”

11
-

“还有更糟的呢。他们显然还分左派和右派,双方都无法忍受对方的发型,两派经常在街头大打出手。”

12
-

“那么,我想你应该能忍受这顶帽子,何况它没有帽带。”

13
-

谢顿说:“我会习惯的。”

14
-

“它会吸引一些注意。一来是它的颜色太素,让你看起来像是正在服丧;二来大小也不很合适。此外,你戴着它显然看来很不舒服。然而我们不会在皇区太久——看够了吗?”全息像立即消失无踪。

15
-

谢顿说:“这总共花了你多少钱?”

16
-

“有什么关系吗?”

17
-

“欠你的钱令我不安。”

18
-

“别为这种事烦心,这是我自己的选择。不过我们在这里待得够久了,会有人记得我的长相,这点我相当确定。他们会一路追踪我,最后找到这里来。”

19
-

“这么说的话。”谢顿说,“你花费的信用点就微不足道。你为了我而令自己身陷险境!”

20
-

“我知道,但这出于我的自愿,而且我能照顾自己。”

21
-

“可是为什么……”

22
-

“以后我们再来讨论其中的道理吧——对了,我已将你的衣服原子化,而且我想没被别人看见。当然,出现了一道能量涌浪,那是会留下记录的。有人可能会根据这点猜到是怎么回事,在灵敏的耳目窥探下,实在很难掩饰所有的行动。然而希望在他们将一切拼凑起来之前,我们已经安全离开此地。”

Hari Seldon looked at the holograph of himself cast by Hummins projector . It was more dramatic and useful than a mirror would have been. In fact, it seemed as though there were two of him in the room.

Seldon studied the sleeve of his new tunic . His Heliconian attitudes made him wish the colors were less vibrant , but he was thankful that, as it was, Hummin had chosen softer colors than were customary here on this world. (Seldon thought of the clothing worn by their two assailants and shuddered inwardly.) He said, "And I suppose I must wear this hat."

"In the Imperial Sector , yes. To go bareheaded here is a sign of low breeding. Elsewhere, the rules are different."

Seldon sighed. The round hat was made of soft material and molded itself to his head when he put it on. The brim was evenly wide all around, but it was narrower than on the hats his attackers had worn. Seldon consoled himself by noticing that when he wore the hat the brim curved rather gracefully . "It doesnt have a strap under the chin."

Seldon snorted. "There are those who wear their hair shoulder-length on one side and shave the other." He laughed at the memory. Hummins mouth twisted slightly. "I imagine it looks uncommonly ugly."

"Worse. There are lefties and righties, apparently , and each finds the other version highly offensive. The two groups often engage in street brawls ."

"It will attract some attention. Its subdued for one thing and makes you look as if youre in mourning. And it doesnt quite fit. Then, too, you wear it with obvious discomfort . However, we wont be in the Imperial Sector long.--Seen enough?" And the holograph flickered out.

"In that case," said Seldon, "the credits youre spending are a minor matter. Youre putting yourself into personal danger on my account. Personal danger!"

"Well discuss the philosophy of it later.--Ive atomized your clothes, by the way, and I dont think I was seen. There was an energy surge, of course, and that would be recorded. Someone might guess what happened from that--its hard to obscure any action when probing eyes and mind are sharp enough. However, let us hope well be safely away before they put it all together."
