All that city. You just couldn’t see the end to it. The end Please You please just show me where it ends It was all very fine on that gangway. And I was grand too, in my overcoat. I cut quite a figure. And I was getting off. Guaranteed. There was no problem. It was what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn’t see. You understand that What I didn’t see. In all that sprawling city there was everything except an end. There was no end .What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end. The end of the world...
Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are eighty-eight of them, nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on these keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by.
You get me up on that gangway and you’re rolling out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end, and that’s the truth, Max. That they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play. You’re sitting on the wrong bench. That’s God’s piano.
Christ! Did, did you see the streets Just the streets… There were thousands of them! And how do you do it down there How do you choose just one One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die...
All that world is weighing down on me, you don’t even know where it comes to an end, and aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it The enormity of living it
I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here, but never more than fit between prow and stern. You played out your happiness, but on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way.
Land Land is a ship too big for me. It’s a woman too beautiful; it’s a voyage too long, a perfume too strong. It’s a music I don’t know how to make. I could never get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, I don’t exist for anyone. You’re an exception, Max, you’re the only one who knows I’m here. You’re a minority, and you better get used to it. Forgive me, my friend, but I’m not getting off.
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper
——T·S·Eliot
所有那些城市，你就是无法看见尽头。尽头？拜托！拜托你给我看它的尽头在哪？当时，站在舷梯向外看还好。我那时穿着大衣，感觉也很棒，觉得自己前途无量，然后我就要下船去。放心！完全没问题！可是，阻止了我的脚步的，并不是我所看见的东西，而是我所无法看见的那些东西。你明白么？我看不见的那些。在那个无限蔓延的城市里，什么东西都有，可惟独没有尽头。根本就没有尽头。我看不见的是这一切的尽头，世界的尽头。
拿一部钢琴来说，从琴键开始，又结束。你知道钢琴只有88个键，随便什么琴都没差。它们不是无限的。你才是无限的，在琴键上制作出的音乐是无限的。我喜欢这样，我活的惯。
你把我推到舷梯上然后扔给我一架有百万琴键的钢琴，百万千万的没有尽头的琴键，那是事实，max，它们没有尽头。那键盘是无限延伸的。然而如果琴键是无限的，那么在那架琴上就没有你能弹奏的音乐，你坐错了地方，那是上帝的钢琴。
天啊！你……你看过那些街道吗？仅仅是街道，就有上千条！你下去该怎么办？你怎么选择其中一条来走？怎么选择“属于你自己的”一个女人，一栋房子，一块地，或者选择一道风景欣赏，选择一种方法死去。
那个世界好重，压在我身上。你甚至不知道它在哪里结束，你难道从来不为自己生活在无穷选择里而害怕得快崩溃掉吗？
我是在这艘船上出生的，整个世界跟我并肩而行，但是，行走一次只携带两千人。这里也有欲望，但不会虚妄到超出船头和船尾。你用钢琴表达你的快乐，但音符不是无限的。我已经习惯这么生活。
陆地？陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船，一个太漂亮的女人，一段太长的旅行，一瓶太刺鼻的香水，一种我不会创作的音乐。我永远无法放弃这艘船，不过幸好，我可以放弃我的生命。反正没人记得我存在过，而你是例外，max，你是唯一一个知道我在这里的人。你是唯一一个，而且你最好习惯如此。原谅我，朋友，我不会下船的。
附：
1900 Moonlight city. You just couldn’t see an end to it.
It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me ,Max.
It was what I didn’t see.
Take the piano.
Keys begin. Keys end.
You know there are 88 of them.
They’re not infinite. You’re infinite.
And on those keys, the music that you can make is infinite.
I like that. That I can live by.
But you get me up on that gangway, and you roll them out in front of me.
Keyboards have millions and billions of keys that never end.
That keyboard is infinite.
Then on that keyboard there’s no music you can play.
That’s God’s piano.
Did you see the streets
There're thousands of them.
How do you choose just one
One woman, one house, one way to die…….
You don’t even know where it comes to an end.
Aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart with the
thought of it
I was born on this ship.
And the world passed me by.
But 2000 people at a time and there’re old wishes here .
But nevermore that fit between prow and stern..
You played out your happiness bit on a piano that was not infinite.
I learned to live that way.
Land
Land is a ship too big for me,
It’s a woman too beautiful, a bridge too long, perfume to strong, music I don’t know how to play.
I can never get off this ship.
At best, I didn’t step off my life.
After all, I don’t exist for anyone.
译文：
偌大的城市，绵延无尽。
并非是我眼见的让我停住了脚步，
而是我所看不见的。你能明白吗？
拿钢琴来说.
键盘有始亦有终。
你确切地知道88个键就在那儿，错不了。
它们并不是无限的，而你，才是无限的。你能在键盘上表现的音乐是无限的。
我喜欢这样，我能轻松应付。
而你现在让我走过跳板，走到城市里，
等着我的是一个没有尽头的键盘。
我又怎能在这样的键盘上弹奏呢？
那是上帝的键盘啊！
你看到那数不清的街道吗？
如何只选择其中一条去走？
一个共渡一生的女人，一幢属于自己的屋子，一种生与死的方式
你甚至不知道什么时候才是尽头。
一想到这个，难道不会害怕、会崩溃吗？
我在这艘船上出生。
世事千变万化，然这艘船每次只载2000人。
这里有着希望，但仅在船头和船尾之间。
你可以在有限的钢琴上奏出你的欢欣快乐。
我习惯了这样的生活。
陆地？
陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船，
太漂亮的女人，太长的旅程，太浓烈的香水，无从着手的音乐。
我永远无法走下这艘船，
这样的话，我宁可舍弃我的生命。
毕竟，我从来没有为任何人存在过，不是么？

总是在下雨的时侯 ,才开始记起家里原来还有个窗
可以用手托住傻傻的脑袋
清楚外面的世界
想到天花乱缀 也不过是寂寞
满世界都是绿的
活力四射
除了我
懒的被忽略
所以忘记了春天的味道
困在一个叫寂寞的瓶子里
飘飘忽忽
出口太小
也就放任自己被其掩盖
也曾经试着抓住另一只手
感觉来自不同的温暖
以为
那样简单的
便是所谓的爱情
后来才知道
寂寞是不可分担
再大的雨
在多的伞
也只有自己的那一小把
才能为自己挡住不被淋湿
世界太大
形形色色
我开始变傻
失去了分辩的能力
那么多的气球
谁才是属于我的那一个
在这个繁华的地方
我想
一个人悄悄的生活会比较好
放弃寻找那个气球
或许
我眼中的世界不再纷娆
寂寞
或许是骨子里的
夜
月光淡雅
风
来去无踪
既然寂寞是无可取代
那么
我又何尝不可
淡淡寂寞
淡淡笑~ ```
