You can't go back home to your family, back home to your childhood, back home to romantic love, back home to a young man's dreams of glory and of fame, back home to exile, to escape to Europe and some foreign land, back home to lyricism, to singing just for singing's sake, back home to aestheticism, to one's youthful idea of 'art' and beauty, back home to the ivory tower, back home to places in the country, to the cottage in Bermuda, away from all the strife and conflict of the world, back home to the father you have lost and have been looking for, back home to someone who can help you, save you, ease the burden for you, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time—back home to the escapes of Time and Memory.

你无法回到家乡，回到你的家庭，回到你的童年，回到浪漫的爱情，回到年轻人对荣耀和名声的梦想，回到流亡，逃到欧洲和某个外国，回到抒情，为了唱歌而唱歌，回到唯美主义，回到你年轻时对“艺术”和美的想法，回到象牙塔，回到乡村的地方，回到百慕大的小屋，远离世界上所有的冲突和斗争，回到你失去并一直在寻找的父亲，回到可以帮助你、拯救你、减轻你负担的人，回到那些曾经看似永恒但一直在变化的旧形式和系统——回到时间和记忆的逃避。

The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past.

I believe that we are lost here in America, but I believe we shall be found.

The true discovery of America is before us. The true fulfillment of our spirit, of our people, of our mighty and immortal land, is yet to come.

The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.

The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past.

世界上充满了这样的人，他们对一个令人满意的未来的概念，实际上是对理想化过去的回归。

I believe that we are lost here in America, but I believe we shall be found.

我相信我们在美国迷失了，但我相信我们会被找到。

The true discovery of America is before us. The true fulfillment of our spirit, of our people, of our mighty and immortal land, is yet to come.

真正的美国发现还在我们面前。我们精神、我们人民、我们强大而不朽的土地的真正实现，尚未到来。

The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.

我现在生活的全部信念在于，孤独远非一种罕见而奇特的现象，它不仅仅是我和少数其他孤独者的特质，而是人类存在的核心和不可避免的事实。

You can't go home again.

你再也回不了家了。
