他让自己被一种信念所左右，即人类并非在母亲生下他们的那一天就一劳永逸地诞生了，而是生活迫使他们一次又一次地重生自己。

He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.

在输赢的过程中有太多偶然，今日我们太讲求所有事情的正义和公平，政治人物总是在谈论正义，我非常支持正义，我只是觉得那不可能，我们应该尽力，尽力去追求正义，但我们也应该记得，我们所面对的，无论在他们人生中发生过什么，偶然总是一个强烈的因素，我希望大家留一点空间这么想，不然真令人有一种幽闭恐怖症的感觉。

I think it's merely the randomness of the winning and losing process that I want to stress, because the emphasis nowadays is so much on the justice of everything, and politicians always talk about justice. Now I'm a firm believer in justice, I just think that it's impossible. So we should do everything we can to pursue it, but we should always remember that whoever is facing us, whatever has happened in their lives, there will be a strong element of the haphazard. That's what I'm trying to leave room for; otherwise, it can get quite claustrophobic.

淡淡的烟青色，如水墨画般漾开在天边。山脚下的一架紫藤已过了花期，只有零零落落的几株垂挂在落叶间，花架间掩映着一栋风格合适的房子，深绿色的苔藓在灰白色墙上的晴影。

I'm interested in the edges of things, where they meet and overlap.

我对事物的边缘感兴趣，在那里它们相遇并重叠。
