月过十五光阴少，人到中年万事休。

译文：月亮过了十五后，就逐渐不明亮了，人到了中年之后，做什么事都难以有大作为。赏析：青少年是人生最美好的时期，这个时期精力最旺盛，记忆力最强，也是人生最该努力奋斗的时候。

At that age， I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details， but basically the ad said， every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate， I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days， estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number， I poked my head into the front of the car， tapped my grandmother on the shoulder， and proudly proclaimed， "At two minutes per puff， you've taken nine years off your life！"

在那样的年纪，我会找任何借口做些估测或者小算术。我会计算油耗还有杂货花销等鸡毛蒜皮的小事。我听过一个有关吸烟的广告。我记不得细节了，但是广告大意是说，每吸一口香烟会减少几分钟的寿命，大概是两分钟。无论如何，我决定为祖母做个算术。我估测了祖母每天要吸几支香烟，每支香烟要吸几口等等，然后心满意足地得出了一个合理的数字。接着，我捅了捅坐在前面的祖母的头，又拍了拍她的肩膀，然后骄傲地宣称，"每天吸两分钟的烟，你就少活九年！"

Grief is not linear. It doesn't follow a neat trajectory from denial to acceptance.

悲伤不是线性的。它不会整齐地从否认走向接受。

我这一生，不求长生，不求无敌，只求一个痛快！

真理不在光明中，而在我们不敢直视的阴影里。

要正直地生活，别想入非非！要诚实地工作，才能前程远大。

陀思妥耶夫斯基

每当我在运动和训练中感到疲倦时，我都会闭上眼睛看那张照片，看那张写着我名字的名单。这通常会激励我再次工作。
