大部分人在二三十岁上就死去了,过了这个年龄,他们只是自己的影子,此后的余生则是在模仿自己中度过,日复一日,更机械,更装腔作势地重复他们在有生之年的所作所为,所思所想,所爱所恨。
Most men die at twenty or thirty; thereafter they are only reflections of themselves: for the rest of their lives they are aping themselves, repeating from day to day more and more mechanically and affectedly what they said and did.
