A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
结束
Ending
You're searching, Joe, for things that don't exist; I mean beginnings. Ends and beginnings -- there are no such things. There are only middles.
乔,你在寻找不存在的东西;我的意思是开始。结束和开始——没有这样的事情。只有中间。
All lovely things will have an ending, All lovely things will fade and die; And youth, that's now so bravely spending, Will beg a penny by and by.
所有可爱的东西都会有结局,所有可爱的东西都会凋谢死去;而现在勇敢消费的青春,不久就会乞求一分钱。
Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.
我们的生活就是一个学徒,去认识这样一个真理:每绕一个圆圈,就会有另一个圆圈出现;自然界没有终点,但每一个终点都是一个起点,在每一个深渊之下都有一个更低的深渊在打开。
I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.
我不相信幸福的结局,但我相信快乐的旅行,因为最终,你很年轻就死了,或者你活得足够长,看着你的朋友死去。这是一件卑鄙的事情,生活。
Young people don't want to be second to anyone. Everyone wants to be an overnight star. Look how many years I had to wait, how many roads I had to travel, how many songs I had to sing. And now I'm just beginning, never ending.
年轻人不想成为任何人的第二。每个人都想一夜成名。看看我要等多少年,我要走多少条路,我要唱多少首歌。现在我才刚刚开始,永远不会结束。
I don't really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world.
我不太喜欢政治。我喜欢运动的有序和简单。他们有一个结局。你可以和你的朋友争论,但最终你还是喜欢运动。比起现实世界,我更喜欢幻想中的体育世界。
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.
我想要一个完美的结局。现在,我终于明白,有些诗不押韵,有些故事没有一个清晰的开头、中间和结尾。生活就是不知道,必须改变,抓住现在,充分利用它,而不知道接下来会发生什么。美味的模棱两可。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Whatever begins, also ends.
无论开始什么,都会结束。
I'm not always going to keep waiting for a fairytale ending.
我不会一直等待童话般的结局。
If I see an ending, I can work backward.
如果我看到一个结局,我可以倒着做。
Maybe it's not about the happy ending maybe, it's about the story.
也许这不是一个快乐的结局,也许这是一个故事。
A complete life may be one ending in so full an identification with the oneself that there is no self left to die.
一个完整的生命可能是一个完全认同自我的生命,以至于没有自我可以死去。
