1. “所有那些城市,你就是無法看見盡頭。盡頭?拜托!拜托你給我看它的盡頭在哪?當時,站在舷梯向外看還好。我那時穿着大衣,感覺也很棒,覺得自己前途無量,然後我就要下船去。放心!完全沒問題!可是,阻止了我的腳步的,并不是我所看見的東西,而是我所無法看見的那些東西。你明白麼?我看不見的那些。在那個無限蔓延的城市裡,什麼東西都有,可惟獨沒有盡頭。根本就沒有盡頭。我看不見的是這一切的盡頭,世界的盡頭。”

“All that city. You just couldn't see the end to it. The end? Please? You please just show me where it ends? It was all very fine on that gangway. And I was grand too, in my overcoat. I cut quite a figure. And I was getting off. Guaranteed. There was no problem. It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn't see. You understand that? What I didn't see. In all that sprawling city there was everything except an end. There was no end. What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end. The end of the world... ”

2.陸上的人喜歡尋根究底,虛度很多的光陰。

冬天憂慮夏天的遲來,夏天擔心冬天的将至。

所以你們不停到處去追求一個遙不可及、四季如夏的地方——我并不羨慕。

3.我們笑着說再見,卻深知再見遙遙無期。

We laughed and kept saying"see u soon",but inside we both knew we'd never see each other again.
