• 【原文】1900: “Why, why, why, why, why… I think land people waste a lot of time wondering why. Winter comes and can’t wait for summer, summer comes and you never can wait for winter. That’s why you never tire of traveling or chasing some place far away, where it’s always summer. Doesn’t sound like a good bet to me.”

• 【译文】“陆上的人喜欢寻根问底，虚度了大好光 阴。冬天忧虑夏天的姗姗来迟，夏天则担心冬天的 将至。所以他们不停四处游走，追求一个遥不可及、 四季如夏的地方—我并不羡慕。”
精彩片段二
• 【原文】All that city… you just couldn’t see an end to it. The end? Please? Can you please just show me where it ends? It was all very final on that gangway and I was grant too in my over coat. I cut quite a figure, and I was getting off, guaranteed. That wasn’t the problem. It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me, Max, it was what I didn’t see. Do 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. Take a piano, hmm? The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are 88 of them. Nobody can tell you different. They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on those keys, the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. You get me up on that gangway and you rill out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, Millions and billions of keys that never end. That’s the truth, Max, they never end.

• 【原文】That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play. You are sitting on the wrong bench. That’s God’s piano. Christ! Did you see the streets? Just the street-there were thousands of them. How do you do it down there? How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die. All that world just weighing down on you. You don’t even know where it comes to an end. Aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it? The enormity of it.
• 【译文】城市那么大，看不到尽头。尽头在哪里？ 可以给我看看尽头么？当年，我踏上跳板，不觉得 困难。我穿上大衣，很神气，自觉一表人才，有决 心，有把握，有信心。我停下来，不是因为所见， 是因为所不见。你明不明白？是因为看不见的东西。 连绵不绝的城市，什么都有，除了尽头，没有尽头。 我看不见城市的尽头，我需要看见世界尽头。拿钢 琴来说，键盘有始也有终。有88个键，错不了，并 不是无限的。音乐是无限的。在琴键上，奏出无限 的音乐。我喜欢那样，我应付得来。走过跳板，前 面的键盘有无数的琴键。事实如此，无穷无尽，键 盘无限大。
