A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Passing
I feel like I've matured more musically than I have personally. But I totally embrace what becoming older has to offer. I find the wisdom that comes with each passing year is a trip.
我觉得我在音乐上比我个人成熟多了。但我完全接受变老所带来的一切。我发现每一年的智慧都是一次旅行。
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
远方的朋友有时比身边的朋友更亲密。这山岂不是比住在山上的人，更使人敬畏，看得更清楚吗?
A ball had passed between my body and the right arm which supported him, cutting through the sleeve and passing through his chest from shoulder to shoulder. There was no more to be done for him and I left him to his rest. I have never mended that hole in my sleeve.
一个球从我的身体和支撑他的右臂之间穿过，穿过他的袖子，从一个肩膀传到另一个肩膀。没有什么可为他做的了，我让他去休息。我从来没有把袖子上的洞补好。
I used to own an island in the Seychelles and had a big boat there and one day I came across some Somali pirates who were passing by on their way to re-provision their boat. They didn't even acknowledge me - which is unheard of among sailors - and it was like looking into the eyes of a black mamba.
我曾经在塞舌尔拥有一个小岛，那里有一艘大船。有一天，我遇到了一些索马里海盗，他们正经过塞舌尔为他们的船补给给养。他们甚至不认识我——这在水手中是闻所未闻的——就像看着一只黑曼巴的眼睛。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Is it not passing brave to be a King and ride in triumph through Persepolis?
当上国王，在波斯波利斯凯旋而过，难道不勇敢吗?
Young poets bewail the passing of love; old poets, the passing of time. There is surprisingly little difference.
年轻的诗人悲叹爱情的逝去;老诗人，岁月的流逝。令人惊讶的是，两者之间几乎没有什么区别。
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
艺术家是情感的容器，情感来自四面八方:来自天空，来自大地，来自一张纸片，来自一个路过的形状，来自一张蜘蛛网。
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.
谁见过风?不是你，也不是我，而是当树木低头时，风就过去了。
I don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.
我不后悔时间的流逝。我试着活在当下，这应该意味着我的生活是充实的。
Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.
关于生命的知识是一回事;对生活中某个地方的有效占有，以及它通过你的存在的流动，是另一回事。
