不试怎知身可退,

临终方念生为贵,

谎言何如真相为?

因噎废食气炸肺,

徒留笑柄人遭罪,

牺牛空羡曳尾龟!

 

我在知乎瞎逛的时候,看到邓铂鋆提到下面这几句话。当时觉得很有意思,就尝试着译为中文。译文跟原文的风格完全不搭,意境也不一致,但就这样吧,就算是再创作了。

You can't quit until you try

You can't live until you die

You can't learn to tell the truth

Until you learn to lie

You can't breathe until you choke

You gotta laugh when you're the joke

There's nothing like a funeral

to make you feel alive

 

《庄子·外篇·秋水》

庄子钓于濮水,楚王使大夫二人往先焉,曰:“愿以境内累矣!”庄子持竿不顾,曰:“吾闻楚有神龟,死已三千岁矣,王巾笥而藏之庙堂之上。此龟者,宁其死为留骨而贵乎,宁其生而曳尾于涂中乎?”二大夫曰:“宁生而曳尾涂中。”庄子曰:“往矣!吾将曳尾于涂中。”

《庄子·杂篇·列御寇》

或聘于庄子,庄子应其使曰:“子见夫牺牛乎?衣以文绣,食以刍 叔。及其牵而入于大庙,虽欲为孤犊,其可得乎!”

 

九年十一月二十一日感事而作(其日独游香山寺)

白居易

祸福茫茫不可期,大都早退似先知。

当君白首同归日,是我青山独往时。

顾索素琴应不暇,忆牵黄犬定难追。

麒麟作脯龙为醢,何似泥中曳尾龟。

 

在网上搜了一下,发现这几句话来自于一首歌。

Sixx: A.M.的《Life Is Beautiful(acoustic)

囧了。。。又慢bai了= =

补个资du料和歌词吧。。。

视频里的这首歌为acoustic不插电版zhidao

原曲更加摇滚一些 出自专辑《The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack》中

You can't quit until you try

You can't live until you die

You can't learn to tell the truth

Until you learn to lie

You can't breathe until you choke

You gotta laugh when you're the joke

There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Just open your eyes

Just open your eyes

And see that life is beautiful.

Will you swear on your life,

That no one will cry at my funeral?

I know some things that you don't

I've done things that you won't

There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

I was waiting for my hearse

What came next was so much worse

It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes

Just open your eyes

And see that life is beautiful.

Will you swear on your life,

That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes

Just open your eyes

And see that life is beautiful.

Will you swear on your life,

That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes

Just open your eyes

And see that life is beautiful.

Will you swear on your life,

That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes

Just open your eyes

And see that life is beautiful.

Will you swear on your life,

That no one will cry at my funeral?
