这世界值得我们誓死奋战
2017-02-17本刊编辑部
I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here,but we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was. When so much bad happened?
But in the end, it's only a passing thing. This shadow, even darkness must pass.
A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if①you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now, folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going, because they were holding onto②something.
That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fi ghting for.
我知道。这是个彻底的错误。我们根本就不该来,但是我们来了。这就像我们听过的精彩故事,佛罗多。描述伟大的事迹。充满了黑暗和危险,有时候你不想知道结局,因为怎么可能有快乐结局?这世界怎么可能回到从前?什么时候发生了这么多可怕的事?
但是最后,阴影终究会过去。就连黑暗也会消失。
崭新的一天将会来临,太阳也会散发更明亮的光芒。这才是让人永生难忘,有意义的感人故事,就算你太年轻不明白为什么。但是佛罗多,我想我明白了。我现在明白了,故事的主角,有很多机会放弃,但是他们并没有。他们决定勇往直前,因为他们抱着一种信念。
这世上一定存在着善良,佛罗多先生,值得我们奋战到底。
