半醒录094 | 我看不见城市的尽头，我需要看见世界尽头

【半醒录094】海上钢琴师

I think land people waste a lot of time wondering why. Winter comes they can't wait for summer; summer comes they're living drilled of winter. That's why you're never tired of travelling, with chasing some place far away, where there's always summer. That doesn't sound like a good bet to me.
陆上的人喜欢寻根究底，虚度很多的光阴。冬天忧虑夏天的迟来，夏天担心冬天的将至。所以你们不停到处去追求一个遥不可及、四季如夏的地方﹣ 我并不羡慕。

I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by.
我生于船，长与船，世界千变万化。

But 2000 people at a time, and there were wishes here.
这艘船每次只载客两千，既载人，也载梦想。

But never more than fit between prow and stern.
但范围离不开船头与船尾之间。

What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end, the end of the world.
我看不见城市的尽头，我需要看见世界尽头。

It wasn't what I saw that stopped me. It was what I didn't see.
阻止了我的脚步的，并不是我所看见的东西，而是我所无法看见的那些东西。

One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way todie. All that world just weighing down on you. You don’t even know where it comes to an end.
爱一个女人，住一间屋子，买一块地，望一个景，走一条死路。太多选择，我无所适从，漫无止境，茫茫无际。

In all that sprawling city, there was everything except an end. There was no end.
连绵不绝的城市，什么都有，除了尽头，没有尽头。

You are sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano.
不是给凡人奏的，是给上帝奏的。

We laughed and kept saying "see u soon＂, but insidewe both knew we'd never see each other again.
我们笑着说再见，却深知再见遥遥无期。
