想到还要给许多事情找出答案，我就激动，难道不是么？如果我们已经知道了所有问题的答案，那世界就失去了一般的乐趣，不是么？那样的话就没有想象的空间了。

Isn’t it splendid there are so many things to like in this world.

每当愉快的事情结束时我总会感到难过，也许更愉快的事情会跟着到来，但是你永远无法肯定，事实上，好多次跟着发生的事并没有使人更快乐。不管怎么说，这是我的经验。

I am always sorry when pleasant things end. Something still pleasanter may cone after, but you can never be sure. And it’s so often the case that it is not pleasanter. That has been experience anyhow.

如果我不喜欢一个地方或一个人的名字，我就给他么么起个新名字，而且总觉得他们就是那样的。

晚安，亲爱的闪光之湖。我总会对那些我喜欢的东西道晚安，就像对人们道晚安一样，我想它们会喜欢的。

Goog-night, dear Lake of Shining Waters. I always say good-night to the things I love, just as I would to people. I think they like it.

我的生命是一块葬满希望的墓地。

Well, that is another hope gone. My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes.

期望也可以得到一般的快乐。你也许得不到那个东西，但是什么也阻止不了你期望他们时所产生的快乐。

Looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them. You may not get the things themselves, but nothings can prevent you from having the fun of looking forward to them.

所有的大事和所有的小事都是息息相关的。

All things great are wound up with all things little.

Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.

在这个世界上，我们获取任何东西都是要付出代价的。

For we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world.

当我们所爱的人再也无法和我们共同分享快乐时，我们却还能对某些事情产生愉快的情绪，这让我们感到内疚，而当我们发现自己重新对生活产生兴趣时，又会觉得这似乎不忠于我们的悲哀。

I think we all experience the same thing. We resent the thought that anything can please un when someone we love is no longer here to share the pleasure with us, and we almost feel as if we were unfaithful to our sorrow when we find our interest in life returning to us.

纵使她脚下的路越走越窄，她知道一路都将会有恬静的幸福之花开放。

but if the path set before her feet was to be narrow she knew that flowers of quiet happiness would bloom along it.
