我在读书时,曾读到作家Bob Moawad有这么一句值得令人深思的警句:

          Some people succumb to cynicism.  They lose their zest for life too early and really could have this as their epitaph:

          Died at 40, buried at 80.


我喜欢这段文字,也觉得特别有趣,所以便试着将它翻译了出来:

          ”有些人在愤世嫉俗中死去。他们过早地失去了对人生的热忱。或许真应该将此作为他们的墓志铭:

          死于四十,葬于八十。“
