A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
影子
Shadow
I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods.
我不是要去任何公共场所,而是要去我自己的土地,在那里我种了葡萄树和果园的树,在炎热的白天,我爬到树林的治愈阴影里。
The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.
最好的历史不过是伦勃朗的艺术;它生动地揭示了某些特定的原因,那些最好的和最伟大的原因;它把其余的一切都留在阴影里,看不见。
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.
在人类所知之外,还有第五维度。它是一个和空间一样广阔,和无限一样永恒的维度。它是光明与黑暗、科学与迷信之间的中间地带。
Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
每个人都投下阴影;不仅是他的身体,还有他那不完全融合的精神。这是他的悲伤。任凭他往哪个方向转,日头就向哪个方向落;中午短,晚上长。你没见过吗?
I will give you three days to seek your shadow. Return to me in the course of that time with a well-fitted shadow, and you shall receive a hearty welcome; otherwise, on the fourth day - remember, on the fourth day - my daughter becomes the wife of another.
我给你三天的时间去寻找你的影子。到那个时候,你带着一个合身的影子回到我这儿来,你就会受到热烈的欢迎。否则,在第四天——记住,在第四天——我的女儿成为另一个人的妻子。
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
可以说,每一种痛苦的一部分都是痛苦的影子或反映:你不仅要受苦,而且必须不断地思考你受苦的事实。我不仅在无尽的悲伤中度过每一天,而且在每一天都想着在悲伤中度过每一天。
