Excerpt

1.我们是两片夜，所以光的意义是什么？

（玛姬珂·马莱卡《陌生人》）

2.老太婆：坐吧，你站都站不稳。

诗人：（坐下，咳嗽）哼，那是因为我喝醉了。

老太婆：笨蛋。只要还活着，就得把两只脚好好踩在地面上。

（三岛由纪夫《卒塔婆小町》）

3.岁月消逝有什么关系？我们心里的东西，它们不会带走。心是关闭的祭器，是圣器，唯有上帝才能把它打开，往里面倒进欢乐、陶醉、温情、愉悦的回忆、巨大的希望等等。你记得我说过：心绝无皱纹。不过，爱不仅仅是生命，爱是青春。

（雨果《雨果情书选》）

4.如果人人都能多加思索思索的话，就会认识到，生命并不值得这样时刻担心。

（莱蒙托夫《当代英雄》）

5.Too bad you cannot sing. If yuou had known how to sing, perhaps your life would have been different, happier; or sad with a different sadness, a harmonious melancholy. Perhaps you would not have felt the need to become king. Now you would not find yourself here on this creaking throne, peering at shadows.

(Calvino:Invisible Cities)

6.KARSTEN BERNICK. You shall be yourself, Olaf; and the rest must come as may.

(Ibsen: Pillars of the Community)

7.身外无关，此中相关

（昆曲：《世说新语·破局》）

8.Carers and donors have achieved so much, that said, we aren't machines. In the end, it wears you down. I suppose that's why I now spend most of my time not looking forwards, but looking back.

（石黑一雄《Never Let Me Go》）

9.When we are scattered afar and asunder, parted are those who are singing today. When we look back and forgetfully wonder what we were like in our learning and play. Oh, the great days will bring distance enchanted. Days of fresh air in the rain and the sun, how we rejoiced as we struggled and panted, Echoes of dreamland, Hailsham lives on.

（石黑一雄《Never Let Me Go》）

10. We didn't have the gallery in order to look into your souls, we had the gallery to see if you had souls at all.

（石黑一雄《Never Let Me Go》）

11. I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I've lost since my childhood has washed up. I tell myself if that were true, and I waited long enough, then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until i'd see it was Tommy. He'd wave, and maybe call, I don't let the fantasy go beyond that. I can't let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. What I'm not sure about is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save.

（石黑一雄《Never Let Me Go》）

12.We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time.

（石黑一雄《Never Let Me Go》）

13.爱比恨易逝，恨比爱长远。

恨一个人远比爱一个人要来的轻松。所以人们总是轻易爱上一个人，却长久地、用力地恨同一个人。

我们怯于言说爱，却又咬牙切齿说起恨。仿佛浓烈不灭的恨才是经久不衰，充斥人间的那一个。

但在这个世界上，终究是爱，才能让人即使满怀痛苦和绝望，也支撑着爬起来走下去。

仇恨终将消散，爱情至死不渝。

14.莎士比亚说过「爱比杀人重罪更难隐藏，爱情的黑夜里有中午的阳光。」

Felony murder even harder to love than hide; love night with the noon sun

15.生活总会继续，就算爱被抛在身后。命教会我们咬紧牙关走下去，心却留在原地打转。
