47 自己的经历
This is a record of your time. This is your movie. Live out your dream and fantasies. Whisper questions to the Sphinx at night. Sit for hours at sidewalk cafes and drink with your heroes. Make pilgrimages to Mougins and Abiquiu. Look up and down.
这是你走过的路程,这是你自己的电影。别沉浸于自己的理美梦和幻想;晚上向斯芬克斯低声发问,坐在路边的咖啡馆和你心目中的英雄小酌,去穆吉山和阿比丘山朝圣,上下求索。
Believe in the unknown for it is there. Live in many places. Live with flowers and music and book and painting and sculpture. Keep a read of your time, Learn to read well. Learn to listen and speak well. Know your country, know your history, know yourself.
相信未知的事物,因为它们存在;广为游历,让生活充满鲜花,音乐,书籍,绘画和雕塑。安排好自己的时间,学会好好读书,学会倾听和好好说话。了解你的国家,了解你的世界,了解你的历史,了解你自己。
Take care of yourself physically and mentally. You owe it? to yourself. Be good to those around you. And do all of these things with passion. Give all that you can. Remember, Life is short and death is long.
照顾好自己的身体和思想,这是你的责任,友善地对待周围的人,并满怀激情做好这些事情。奉献自己的一切。记住,生命是短暂的,死亡是漫长的。
