表达我们的感激之情
let me, please, express our gratitude,
为这美好的强迫前来的夜晚
for this finely forced evening.
你对学生 教职人员
The commitment that you have shown
甚至教职人员的妻子所作出的奉献
to the students, faculty, even the wives of the faculty…
令人印象非常深刻
…is very, very impressive.
你超越了自我
You’ve outdone yourself.
实践出真知
And it shows.
就我而言 三个卵蛋
As far as I’m concerned, three balls…
值得敬三次
deserves three cheers.
好了 理查德 我想这应该够了
All right, Richard, I think that’s enough.
亨利 别打断我说话

没人能有三个睾丸

敬皮特
To Peter.
我觉得我还欠你们一些道别的话
Also there are some parting words that I feel like I owe.
因为这将会是我最后一次见到你们
Because this will be the last time that I ever see any of you.
不仅因为我得到了学术休假

他怪怪的
This is strange
我快要死了
…I’m gonna die.

噢 我的天呐
Oh, my goodness.
我懂 亲爱的

-他在说什么 -嘘
– What is he talking about? – Shh.
因此 在为未来做准备时
So in preparing for what lies ahead,
我开始意识到 在生命的大部分时间里
I’ve come to realize that for much of my life,
我一直都错了
I’ve been mistaken,
我失败了
and I failed.
不仅没能理解人必有一死的事实
I failed, not only to comprehend my mortality,
也没能珍惜这短暂的生命
but I’ve failed to appreciate it.
结果就是
And as a result,
我没能充分利用我的生命
I’ve failed to make the most of my life.
维罗妮卡 你是个运动健将
Veronica, you’re one hell of a sport.
是个值得尊敬的对手
You are a very worthy adversary.
很骄傲
Proud…
能称你为妻子
to have been able to call you my wife.
因为没有你的生活
Because life without you would’ve been, uh,
将失色很多
far less rich.
因此 我感谢你
And for that, I thank you.
无论如何
For whatever it’s worth…
我爱你
I love you…
深深地爱你
deeply.
我知道
Yeah.
我们已经背弃了
We’ve turned our backs on the most important duty
我们最重要的职责
that we possess,
那就是过富有经验的生活
to live a life that is rich in experience
这是我们自己选择的
that’s of our own independent choosing.
抓住你的存在感 伙计们
Seize your fucking existence, folks.
为何不把死亡当成我们最亲密的伙伴呢
Why don’t we make death our closest fucking companion,
这样我们才能有那么一秒钟
so that we can finally have a second,
一毫秒的时间去珍惜
a millisecond to appreciate
我们仅剩的那一点点时间
that little bit of time that we have left.
最最重要的是
And most important of all,
活 就要活得精彩
let us live well,
死 就要死得痛快
so that we may fucking die well,
因为我们从未像现在这样
because we’ve never been so close to death
离死亡如此之近
than this very moment.
干杯
Cheers.
该死 理查德 那可是水晶杯
Dammit, Richard. Those are crystal.
第五章
是时候了
非常抱歉
I’m so sorry
以这种方式告诉你
that you had to find out like that,
我只是
and I just didn’t…
说实话 我不知道该怎么跟你说
I mean, I honestly didn’t know how to tell you.
我害怕了
I was scared.
你打算怎么办
What are you gonna do?
我要离开了 甜心
I’m gonna leave, sweetheart.
那正是我打算做的事情
That’s exactly what I’m gonna do.
请你 一定试着重新寻找幸福
