A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
悲伤
Grief
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。
I think I'm much less self confident today. I actually went through a quite painful period because of that thinking that I was completely hopeless. But I think that's something that we all go through at various times of our lives and it was quite a sustained thing with me.
我想我今天没那么自信了。事实上，我经历了一段相当痛苦的时期，因为我认为自己完全没有希望了。但我认为，这是我们每个人在人生的不同时期都会经历的事情，对我来说，这是一件相当持久的事情。
My mother begged doctors to end her life. She was beyond the physical ability to swallow enough of the weak morphine pills she had around her. When she knew she was dying I promised to make sure she could go at a time of her choosing, but it was impossible. I couldn't help.
我母亲恳求医生结束她的生命。她的身体已经无法吞下足够的吗啡药片。当她知道自己将不久于人世时，我答应一定要让她在自己选择的时间离开，但这是不可能的。我不能帮助。
I cannot but be grieved to go from my native land, and especially from that part of it for whom and with whom I desired only to live; yet the dreadful apprehensions I have of what is coming upon this land may help to make me submissive to this providence, though more bitter.
离开我的祖国，特别是离开我只愿意和他生活在一起的那片土地，我不能不感到悲伤;然而，我对即将降临在这片土地上的可怕的恐惧，也许有助于使我服从这上帝，尽管更加痛苦。
It is not because I do not love my adopted land - it is the natural feeling of one far from home, who remembers those happy, carefree days when life flowed at full tide, without responsibility, flashing past one like the drama in a fascinating story of adventure and romance.
不是因为我不爱我采用土地——这是一个远离家乡的自然感觉,记得那些快乐,无忧无虑的日子生活流满潮,没有责任,闪烁过去一个喜欢冒险的戏剧在引人入胜的故事和浪漫。
He nursed the feelings these dull scenes produce, And loved to stop beside the opening sluice; Where the small stream, confined in narrow bound, Ran with a dull, unvaried, sad’ning sound; Where all presented to the eye or ear, Oppressed the soul! with misery, grief, and fear.
他抚育着这些沉闷的场面所产生的感情，喜欢在打开的水闸旁边停下来;在那里，小溪被限制在狭窄的范围内，发出沉闷、单调、凄厉的流水声;那里的一切都呈现在眼前或耳畔，压迫着心灵!带着痛苦、悲伤和恐惧。
Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
今天，我开始明白爱是什么，如果它存在……当我们分开的时候，我们都感到缺少了另一半。我们不完整，就像一本丢了第一卷的两卷书。这就是我想象中的爱:不在时的不完整。
I'm lucky because I have a job I love. I really miss being away from home, being in my own bed, seeing my animals and siblings, having my moms cookies. I have a couple cats. I got a kitten about a year ago and now Im going on the road so I wont see him for a while. I feel bad.
我很幸运，因为我有一份我喜欢的工作。我真的很想念离开家，躺在自己的床上，看着我的动物和兄弟姐妹，吃着妈妈做的饼干。我有几只猫。大约一年前我养了一只小猫，现在我要出门了，所以我有一段时间见不到它了。我感觉很糟糕。
The whole world appears to me like a huge vacuum, a vast empty space, whence nothing desirable, or at least satisfactory, can possibly be derived; and I long daily to die more and more to it; even though I obtain not that comfort from spiritual things which I earnestly desire.
在我看来，整个世界就像一个巨大的真空，一个巨大的空白，从那里不可能得到任何想要的，或者至少是令人满意的东西;我每天都渴望死得越来越多;我所切慕属灵的事，并没有叫我得着安慰。
If my heart still beat I didn't know it. I was aware of one thing only; next to the gaping fact called Death, all I knew was nothing, all I did meant nothing, all I felt conveyed nothing. This was no passing thought. It was a gnawing, palpable emptiness more real than the cold.
如果我的心还在跳动，我不知道。我只知道一件事;除了一个叫死亡的巨大事实，我所知道的一切都是虚无，我所做的一切都毫无意义，我所感到的一切都毫无意义。这不是一时的想法。这是一种比寒冷更真实、更令人痛苦、更明显的空虚。
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
世界上没有幸福，也没有痛苦;只有一种状态与另一种状态的比较，仅此而已。感受过最深悲伤的人，最能体会到最大的幸福。我们必须体验过死亡的滋味，才能体会到生活的乐趣。
I remember my wife in white.' It just made people weep to hear it...Everybody just thought it was the saddest sentence that was ever written. And it didn't matter if I never wrote another word. This one sentence had put an end to the need for any future sentences. I had said it all.
我记得我穿白色衣服的妻子。“听到这个消息，人们都哭了……每个人都认为这是有史以来最悲伤的一句话。就算我不再写一个字也没关系。这句话结束了对未来句子的需要。我都说了。
