1. I think of other ages that floated upon the stream of life and love and death and are forgotten, and I feel the freedom of passing away.

我想起了浮泛在生与爱与死的川流上的许多别的时代，以及这些时代之被遗忘，我便感觉到离开尘世的自由了。

2. The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song,as one kiss of the eternal.

世界对着它的爱人，把它浩瀚的面具揭下了。

它变小了，小如一首歌，小如一回永恒的接吻。

3. If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

如果你因为失去了太阳而流泪，那么你也将失去群星了。

4. I cannot choose the best.

The best chooses me.

我不能选择那最好的。

是那最好的选择我。

5. Thank the flame for its light, but do not forget the lampholder standing in the shade with constancy of patience.

谢谢火焰给你光明，但是不要忘了那执灯的人，他是坚忍地站在黑暗当中呢。

6. Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

使生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美。

7. I cast my own shadow upon my path, because I have a lamp that has not been lighted.

我投射我自己的影子在我的路上，因为我有一盏还没有点亮的明灯。
