1. 人生的路，靠自己一步步走去，真正能保护你的，是你自己的人格选择和文化选择。那么反过来，真正能伤害你的，也是一样，自己的选择。

1. The path of life is walked step by step by oneself, and the true protector is your own personality and cultural choices. Conversely, the true harm to you is also your own choices.

2. 我们的历史太长，权谋太深，兵法太多，黑箱太大，内幕太厚，口舌太贪，眼光太杂，预计太险，因此，对一切都构思过度。

2. Our history is too long, our tactics too deep, our military strategies too numerous, our black boxes too large, our inside information too thick, our tongues too greedy, our eyes too miscellaneous, and our predictions too risky, therefore, we overthink everything.

3. 我们对这个世界，知道得还实在太少。无数的未知包围着我们，才使人生保留迸发的乐趣。当哪一天，世界上的一切都能明确解释了，这个世界也就变得十分无聊。?>

3. We know too little about this world. It is the countless unknowns that surround us that keep life filled with the joy of bursting forth. When the day comes that everything in the world can be clearly explained, this world will become incredibly boring.

4. 我不赞成太多地歌颂青年，而坚持认为那是一个充满陷阱的年代。陷阱一生都会遇到，但青年时代的陷阱最多、最大、最险。

4. I do not endorse过度 praising the youth, but firmly believe that it is an era filled with traps. Traps will be encountered throughout one's life, but the traps during youth are the most numerous, the largest, and the most dangerous.

5. 有人把生命局促于互窥互监、互猜互损，有人则把生命释放于大地长天、远山沧海。

5. Some people confine their lives to mutual spying, monitoring, guessing, and harming each other, while others release their lives into the vastness of the earth and sky, the distant mountains and the boundless seas.

6. 中年太实际太繁忙，在整体上算不得诗，想来难理解；青年时代常常被诗化，但青年时代的诗太多**而缺少意境，按我的标准，缺少意境就算不得好诗。

6. Middle-aged people are too practical and too busy, overall, they do not count as poets, and it is hard to understand; the youth is often romanticized, but the poetry of youth is abundant yet lacks artistic conception. According to my standards, poetry that lacks artistic conception cannot be considered good poetry.

7. 当今天下百业，文化最大。当今天下百行，文化届最小。那么，岂能再让一个日渐干涸的小池塘，担任江河湖海的形象代表？

7. Today, in all the various industries of the world, culture is the largest. Among all the professions, the cultural field is the smallest. Then, how can we let a gradually drying small pond represent the image of rivers, lakes, and seas?

8. 人生不要光做加法。在人际交往上，经常减肥、排毒，才会轻轻松松地走以后的路。

8. Life should not just be about addition. In terms of interpersonal relationships, constantly slimming down and detoxifying will enable you to walk through life with ease.

9. 为什么那么多中国民众突然对韩国的电视剧，对超女表现出那么单纯的投入，很重要的原因是，韩国艺术家不知道中国评论家，而超女根本不在乎评论家的存在。

9. An important reason why so many Chinese people suddenly become so单纯ly invested in South Korean dramas and Super Girls is that South Korean artists are unaware of Chinese critics, while Super Girls themselves do not care about the existence of critics.

10. 人有多种活法，活着的文明等级也不相同，住在五层楼上的人完全不必去批评三层楼的低下，何况你是否在五层楼还缺少科学论证。

13. 现在，电脑早已可以几万倍、几十万倍地超过那些记性最好的脑子进行贮存和检索，那种对记忆的崇拜实在是太老旧了，却还在奇怪地流行。

13. Now, computers can far exceed the memory capacity of the best minds by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times in storage and retrieval. The admiration for memory is too outdated yet it strangely remains popular.

14. 善良，这是一个最单纯的词汇，又是一个最复杂的词汇。它浅显到人人都能领会，又深奥到无人能够定义。它与人终生相伴，但人们却很少琢磨它追问它。

14. Kindness, this is a word that is both the simplest and the most complex. It is so plain that everyone can understand it, yet so profound that no one can define it. It accompanies people throughout their lives, yet people rarely ponder over it or question it.

15. 真希望世间能有更多的日珍视自己的每一步脚印，勤于记录，乐于重温，敢于修正，让人上的前前后后相互滋润。

15. I truly wish there were more people in the world who cherish each step of their journey, diligently record, joyfully revisit, and dare to correct, allowing the ups and downs of life to nourish each other.

16. 一切伤口都保持着温度，一切温度都牵扯着疼痛，一切疼痛都呼唤着愈合，一切愈合都保留着勉强。

16. Every wound retains its temperature, every temperature involves pain, every pain beckons for healing, and every healing preserves a semblance of struggle.

17. 别再为错过了什么而懊悔。你错过的人和事，别人才有机会遇见，别人错过了，你才有机会拥有。人人都会错过，人人都曾经错过，真正属于你的，永远不会错过。

17. Stop regretting what you have missed. The people and things you miss are opportunities for others to encounter, and when others miss them, you have the chance to possess them. Everyone will miss something, everyone has missed something before, and what truly belongs to you will never be missed.

18. 罗丹说，什么是雕塑？那就是在石料上去掉那些不要的东西。我们自身的雕塑，也要用力凿掉那些异己的却以朋友名义贴附着的杂质。不凿掉，就没有一个像模像样的自己。

18. Rodin said, "What is sculpture? It is to remove the unnecessary from the stone." Our own sculpture, too, requires the vigorous chiseling away of the alien elements that cling to us under the guise of friendship. Without removing them, there is no self that is properly shaped.

19. 缺少精神归宿，正是造成各种社会灾难的主因。因此，最大的灾难是小人灾难，最大的废墟是人格废墟。

19. The lack of a spiritual home is the main cause of various social disasters. Therefore, the greatest disaster is the disaster of the mean people, and the greatest ruins are the ruins of character.

20. 在google上输入故事，可以得到113000000条结果，但输入结局，却只能得到44900000条结果。可见，并不是每个故事，都有结局。

20. Entering the word "story" into Google yields 113,000,000 results, but entering "ending" yields only 44,900,000 results. This shows that not every story has an ending.

21. 什么季节观什么景，什么时令赏什么花，这才完整和自然。如果故意地大颠大倒，就会把两头的况味都损害了。暖冬和寒春都不是正常的天象。

21. It is complete and natural to enjoy the scenery of the season and the flowers of the season. If one deliberately reverses the order, it will damage the flavors of both ends. A warm winter and a cold spring are not normal natural phenomena.

22. In middle age, the fresh fruit of life becomes so full and ripe, the tumultuous youth settles into elegance and grandeur, and even the heavy social responsibilities may dissolve into the everyday mood of life.

23. Yu Qiuyu said: If you want something, let it go. If it comes back, then it will always be yours; if it doesn't, it was never really yours to begin with.

24. 中年是对青年的延伸，又是对青年的告别。这种告别不仅仅是一系列观念的变异，而是一个终于自立的成熟者对于能够随心所欲处置各种问题的自信。

24. Middle age extends from youth and also marks a farewell to it. This farewell is not merely a series of ideological transformations, but the confidence of a mature individual who has finally become independent in the ability to deal with various issues at will.

25. 人格尊严的表现不仅仅是强硬。强硬只是人格的外层警卫。到了内层，人格的天地是清风明月，柔枝涟漪，细步款款，浅笑连连。

25. The manifestation of personal dignity is not solely about being strong-willed. Strong-willedness is merely the outer guard of personality. Deeper within, the realm of the personality is filled with fresh breeze and bright moonlight, with soft branches rippling, gentle steps, and frequent smiles.

26. 罗丹说，什么是雕塑？那就是在石料上去掉那些不要的东西。我们自身的雕塑，也要用力凿掉那些异己的、却以朋友名义贴附着的杂质。不凿掉，就没有一个像模像样的自己。

26. Rodin said, "What is sculpture? It is to remove what is unnecessary from the stone." Similarly, we must also diligently chip away at the alien elements that are attached to us under the guise of friendship. If we don't chip them away, there won't be a proper self to be found.

27. 社会理性使命已悄悄抽绎，秀丽山水间散落着才子、隐士，埋藏着身前的孤傲和身后的空名。天大的才华和郁愤，最后都化作供后人游玩的景点。

27. The social rational mission has quietly extracted itself, and amidst the beautiful landscapes, there are scattered talents and recluses, hiding their solitary pride before and the hollow reputation after. No matter how great the talent and pent-up resentment, in the end, they all become tourist attractions for the descendants to visit.

28. 西方一位哲人说，只有饱经沧桑的老人才会领悟真正的人生哲理，同样一句话，出自老人之口比出自青年之口厚重百倍。对此，我不能全然苟同。

28. A philosopher from the West once said that only the elderly, who have experienced much of life's vicissitudes, can truly understand the profound truths of life. The same sentence, when spoken by an elder, carries a weight a hundred times greater than when spoken by a youth. With this, I cannot fully agree.

29. 古代绘画中无论是萧瑟的荒江、丛山中的苦旅，还是春光中的飞鸟、危崖上的雏鹰，只要是传世佳品，都会包藏着深厚的人生意识。贝多芬的交响曲，都是人生交响曲。

29. In ancient paintings, whether it is the desolate river in the cold, the weary journey in the dense mountains, or the flying birds in the springtime, or the fledgling eagles on the cliff, any masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages is imbued with profound life consciousness. Beethoven's symphonies are all symphonies of life.

31. The age of the elderly also has a positive mitigating function, relieving the burden on the middle-aged and young. Irresponsible middle-aged and young people have corrupted the age of the elderly through unjustified pampering, but there are still calm and wise individuals among the elderly who silently uphold the serene dignity granted by their years.

32. 人生的追求，情感的冲撞，进取的热情，可以隐匿却不可以贫乏，可以恬然却不可以清淡。

32. The pursuit of life, the collisions of emotions, the enthusiasm for progress, can be concealed but not impoverished, can be serene but not bland.

33. 最大的悲剧，莫过于把并不存在的文明前提当作存在。文明的伤心处，不在于与蒙昧和野蛮的搏斗中伤痕累累，而在于蒙昧和野蛮错看成文明。

33. The greatest tragedy is to take a non-existent premise of civilization as existing. The sorrow of civilization does not lie in the scars left by the struggle against ignorance and barbarism, but in mistaking ignorance and barbarism for civilization.

34. 很多老人的长寿，是牺牲很多乐趣换来的。例如，拼死冒险的乐趣、孤立无援的乐趣、遭受围攻的乐趣。文化也是一样，长寿的代价就是失落太多。

34. Many elderly people's longevity comes at the cost of sacrificing a lot of pleasures. For example, the joy of taking desperate risks, the joy of being isolated and unsupported, the joy of being besieged. The same is true for culture; the price of longevity is the loss of too much.

35. 社会理性使命已悄悄抽绎，秀丽山水间散落着才子隐士，埋藏着身前的孤傲和身后的空名。天大的才华和郁愤，最后都化作供后人游玩的景点。

35. The mission of social rationality has quietly been extracted, and amidst the beautiful landscapes, there are scattered scholars and recluses, hiding their pride before death and their empty reputation after death. Great talents and deep resentment are ultimately transformed into scenic spots for later generations to visit.

36. Only when a middle-aged tree raises an independent mast, hoists a tall white sail, and sings a resounding song, will the favorable winds boost you, a group of seagulls guide you, and you will find quiet harbors that welcome you, each offering you a careful choice.

37. 总是忙着装扮；真精英总是努力地与民众沟通，伪精英总是努力地与民众划分，这就是最根本的区别。

37. Always busy with dressing up; the true elite always strives to communicate with the people, while the pseudo-elite always strives to segregate the people from them, this is the most fundamental difference.

38. 中年太实际、太繁忙，在整体上算不得诗。青年时代常常被诗化，但青年时代的诗太多**而缺少意境，按我的标准，缺少意境就算不得好诗。

38. Middle-aged people are too practical and too busy, and overall, they do not qualify as poetry. Youth is often romanticized, but the poetry of youth is often too abundant while lacking in artistic conception. By my standards, lacking artistic conception does not make it good poetry.

39. 人折腾人，人摆布人，人报复人，这种本事，几千年来也真被人类磨砺到了炉火纯青的地步。

39. People tormenting each other, manipulating each other, and avenging each other—this skill has truly been honed to perfection by humans over thousands of years.

40. 天天期待着上级的指示、群众的意见、家人的说法，然后才能跨出每一步这是尚未精神断奶的标志。

40. Anticipating the orders from superiors, opinions from the masses, and statements from family members before taking each step is a sign of not yet having mentally weaned off.

41. 中年太实际、太繁忙，在整体上算不得诗，想来难理解；青年时代常常被诗化，但青年时代的诗太多**而缺少意境，按我的标准，缺少意境就算不得好诗。

41. Middle-aged people are too practical and too busy, on the whole, they cannot be considered poets, which is perhaps hard to understand; the youth is often romanticized, but the poetry of youth is too abundant while lacking in artistic conception. According to my standards, poetry lacking in artistic conception does not qualify as good poetry.

42. 希望世间能有更多的人珍视自己的每一步脚印，勤于记录，乐于重温，敢于自嘲，善于修正，让人生的前前后后能够互相灌溉，互相滋润。

42. Hope that more and more people in the world will cherish every step they take, be diligent in recording, enjoy reminiscing, dare to mock themselves, and be good at correcting themselves, so that the ups and downs of life can nourish and moisten each other.

43. 中年人的坚守，应该从观点上升到人格，而人格难以言表。在中年人眼前，大批的对峙消解了，早年的对手失踪了，昨天的敌人无恨了，更多的是把老老少少各色人等照顾在自己身边。

43. The steadfastness of middle-aged people should rise from viewpoint to character, yet character is hard to express. In the eyes of middle-aged people, a large number of confrontations have been resolved, early opponents have disappeared, yesterday's enemies no longer harbor grudges, and more importantly, people of all ages and walks of life are cared for around them.

44. 在文化上，无效必然导致无聊，无聊又必然引来无耻。但是，即使到了这种三无的低谷，也不必过于沮丧。因为只有低谷，才能构成对新**的向往。

44. Culturally, the ineffective inevitably leads to boredom, and boredom, in turn, inevitably invites shamelessness. However, even at this low point where all three are absent, there is no need to be overly despondent. Because only at the lowest point can there be a yearning for the new.
