A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
悲伤
Grief
Dead, your Majesty. Dead, my lords and gentlemen. Dead, Right Reverends and Wrong Reverends of every order. Dead, men and women, born with Heavenly compassion in your hearts. And dying thus around us every day.
死了,陛下。死了,各位大人,各位先生。每一种秩序的死的、对的和错的恢复。死了的人,男男女女,你们生来就有属天的怜悯之心。每天就这样在我们身边死去。
And now, once again, I bid my hideous progeny go forth and prosper. I have an affection for it, for it was the offspring of happy days, when death and grief were but words, which found no true echo in my heart.
而现在,我又一次命令我那丑陋的后代们去繁衍生息。我爱它,因为它是快乐的日子的产物,那时死亡和悲伤不过是言语,在我的心里找不到真正的回声。
One of the advantages of appearing in such a play is that you begin to understand it properly, I feel Ophelia's tragedy was that she had been so used by everybody and felt that she bore a great burden of guilt.
在这样一部剧中出现的好处之一是你开始正确地理解它,我觉得奥菲莉亚的悲剧在于她被所有人利用,感到自己背负着巨大的罪恶。
What we gain by science is, after all, sadness, as the Preacher saith. The more we know of the laws and nature of the Universe the more ghastly a business we perceive it all to be---and the non-necessity of it.

We are all treading the vanishing road of a song in the air, the vanishing road of the spring flowers and the winter snows, the vanishing roads of the winds and the streams, the vanishing road of beloved faces.
我们都在踏着空气中一首歌的消逝之路,春天的花朵和冬雪的消逝之路,风和溪的消逝之路,心爱的脸庞的消逝之路。
I was very empty after my father passed away. It was an emotional time, as it would be for anyone, but to be in the studio every day was kind of cathartic and healing and it just seemed very natural to continue.
父亲去世后,我很空虚。那是一段情感的时光,对任何人来说都是如此,但每天都呆在工作室里是一种宣泄和疗伤的方式,继续下去似乎很自然。
This crowd did not diminish through the whole of that cold, wet day; they seemed not to know what was to by their fate since their great benefactor was dead, and though strong and brave men wept when I met them.

I'm incredibly sad that my mother's not here to see my kids and that my kids don't get to know her. And she didn't meet my husband. That's one of the hardest things. I don't even know how to put that into words.

Often and often afterwards, the beloved Aunt would ask me why I had never told anyone how I was being treated. Children tell little more than animals, for what comes to them they accept as eternally established.
后来,亲爱的姨妈常常问我,为什么我从来没有告诉过别人我是如何被对待的。孩子们所讲的不比动物多多少,因为他们所接受的是永恒不变的。
I think I probably would have enjoyed to keep my own private pain out of my work. But I was changed by my audience who said your private pain which you have unwittingly shown us in your early songs is also ours.
我想我可能很乐意把我个人的痛苦从我的工作中排除出去。但我被我的听众改变了,他们说,你在早期歌曲中无意中表现给我们的私人痛苦也是我们的。
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?
And I just remember, you know, breaking into tears and feeling so empty because, as long as Elvis was in the world, you always knew something was going and he always had something that kept everybody mesmerized.
