Most people don't live; they just race. They are trying to reach some goal far away on the horizon, and in the heat of the going they get so breathless and panting that they lose all sight of the beautiful, tranquil country they are passing through; and then the first thing they know, they are old and worn out, and it doesn't make any difference whether they've reached the goal or not.

大多数人不是在生活，只是在奔跑。他们想抵达地平线上遥远的目标，赶路时累得气喘吁吁，完全看不见沿途美丽宁静的风景；等回过神来，已经年老力衰，到没到达目标也就无关紧要了。
