The Final Song of Summer
By Haruki Murakami
Translated by Zhou Kenan
少年时我们追求激情,
成熟时却迷恋平庸。
When we are young we pursue passion,
But when we mature, we are infatuated with mediocrity.
在我们寻找、伤害、背离之后,
还能一如既往地相信爱情,
这是一种勇气。
After we search,hurt and deviate,
We continue to believe in love,
This is courage.
每一个人都有自己的森林,
迷失的人迷失了,
相逢的人会再相逢。
Everyone has his own forest,
The lost ones are lost,
Those who meet will meet again.
(infatuate [ɪnˈfætjʊˌeɪt] 使迷恋
mediocrity [,midi'ɒkriti] 平庸;
deviate ['diːvieɪt] 背离。)
你要做一个不动声色的大人了,
不准情绪化,
不准偷偷想念,
不准回头看。
You're going to be a quiet adult.
Don't be emotional.
Don't miss them secretly.
Don't look back.
去过自己另外的生活。
