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。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
我爱你，就像某些黑暗的东西，在阴影和灵魂之间，被秘密地爱着。
From praise, as from a shadow, a man is neither bigger nor smaller.
从赞美中，如同从阴影中，一个人既不高大也不矮小。
Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.
生命本身不过是死亡的影子，灵魂的离去不过是活人的影子。
A little man sometimes casts a long shadow.
小个子有时会投下长长的影子。
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted--nevermore.
我的灵魂将从那漂浮在地板上的阴影中升起——永不再升起。
A people always ends by resembling its shadow.
一个民族总是以影子告终。
