A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
死
Die
The basic premise of this is that, yes, people have learned to clone each other, but that cloning is illegal. Not that it's bad, just that the law as it is now, is that if you die, you're dead.
其基本前提是,是的,人们已经学会了克隆彼此,但克隆是非法的。这并不是坏事,只是现在的法律规定,如果你死了,你就死了。
They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
他们在旧时代写道,为国家而死是甜蜜的,也是恰当的。但在现代战争中,死亡既不甜蜜也不合适。你会无缘无故地像条狗一样死去。
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
我到树林里去,是因为我希望活得有意义,只面对生活中最基本的事实,看看自己是否能学到生活的真谛,而不是在我死后才发现自己从未活过。
If you've never felt that you quite got a hold of it, you just feel that before you die, you've got to try and get it right once. And hope that the experience you have makes up for the some of the diminishing energy.
如果你从来没有感觉到你已经完全掌握了它,你只是觉得在你死之前,你必须试着把它做好一次。并希望你所拥有的经验能弥补一些能量的减少。
When we die our money, fame, and honors will be meaningless. We own nothing in this world. Everything we think we own is in reality only being loaned to us until we die. And on our deathbed at the moment of death, no one but God can save our souls.
当我们死后,我们的金钱、名誉和荣誉都将失去意义。我们在这个世界上一无所有。我们自以为拥有的一切,实际上只是借给我们的,直到我们死去。在我们弥留之际,只有上帝才能拯救我们的灵魂。
This is the sea of life, and I'm drownin I know I can swim, but feel like I keep sinkin down in these waters and I cain't breathe, I feel like I'm gon' blow it. I can see people holdin a life jacket but they won't throw it. Entertained by my struggle and they'd love to see me die.
这是生命的海洋,而我却淹没在其中。我知道我会游泳,但我感觉自己一直在下沉,无法呼吸,我感觉我要把它吹走了。我能看到人们拿着救生衣,但他们不会扔。我的挣扎让他们很开心,他们很乐意看到我死去。
If watching your child die is a parent's worst nightmare, imagine having to tell your other child that his sister is dead... Although I am certain that he cried, that we all cried, what I remember more is how we collapsed into each other, as if the weight of our loss literally crushed us.
如果看着你的孩子死去是父母最可怕的噩梦,想象一下不得不告诉你的另一个孩子他的妹妹死了……虽然我确信他哭了,我们都哭了,但我记得更多的是我们是如何瘫倒在一起的,仿佛我们失去的重量真的把我们压垮了。
The particular way I'm going to die is not going to be particularly pleasant. It will probably be physically uncomfortable, and it won't be an easy thing for my wife and kids to watch. I think it will be a real challenge to see if I can squeeze the lemons hard enough to still get lemonade the last few weeks.
我的死亡方式并不会特别令人愉快。这可能会让我的身体感到不舒服,而且对我的妻子和孩子来说,观看比赛也不是件容易的事。我想这将是一个真正的挑战,看看我是否能挤柠檬足够努力,仍然得到柠檬汁在过去几周。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I would die for my country but I could never let my country die for me.
我愿意为我的国家而死,但我不能让我的国家为我而死。
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.
死在你身边是一种天堂般的死亡方式。
Every man has to die. Choosing oblivion is the only way of triumphing over this.
每个人都有一死。选择遗忘是战胜这一切的唯一途径。
To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
放弃自己的原则是真正的死亡-和为一个不可能的爱而死,这是爱的对立面。
Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees.
宁愿站着死,也不要跪着活。
I want to die in my own way. It's my illness, my death, my choice. This is what saying yes means.
我想以自己的方式死去。这是我的疾病,我的死亡,我的选择。这就是说“是”的意思。
