A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
退休
Retire
After that, I came back every year. Everyone said, 'Well, when you retire you can move there.' But I said, 'Why should I live my whole life where I don't want to be.'
从那以后，我每年都回来。每个人都说，‘好吧，等你退休了，你可以搬到那里去。但我说，“我为什么要一辈子生活在我不想去的地方呢?”
You retire when you are sick and when you can't do it any more or when the public retires you. That's the most painful, because that's the one that leaves you wanting to accomplish more.
当你生病的时候，当你不能再做这件事的时候，或者当公众让你退休的时候，你就退休了。这是最痛苦的，因为这让你想要完成更多。
You know that feeling when you finish a final exam and you think, 'I never want to do that again'? Well I have the same feeling when I finish a novel. Each time I say, 'I think I may retire now' and then after six months the ideas start to churn again. I could never stop.
你知道那种感觉吗?当你期末考试结束时，你想，‘我再也不想做那样的事了’?当我读完一本小说时，我也有同样的感觉。每次我说“我想我现在可以退休了”，六个月后，我的想法又开始翻腾起来。我停不下来。
