在电影《死亡诗社》里,基廷老师说:
We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
我们读诗写诗,是因为我们是人类的一员,
And the human race is filled with passion.
而人类是一种充满热情的物种,
And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.
医药,法律,商业,工程,这些都是高贵的追求和维生的条件。
But poetry, beauty,romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
但是诗歌,美好,浪漫,爱,这些却是我们存在的理由。
