所以,我要去往何方?

So, where are we going?

我打算待会去码头整点薯条。

I’m going to the dock later to order some French fries.

不,你误会了…

No, you misunderstood…

我的意思是,我们这一生的终极目标,到底是为了什么?

I mean, what is the ultimate goal of our life?

你觉得呢?

What’s your opinion?

我…我一定不是去北极看极光。

I…I don’t think it’s going to the North Pole to see the aurora.

你的故事听起来好像有点奇怪。

Your story sounds a little strange.

你完成长久以来的梦想,并且突破了一切的障碍。

You have fulfilled your long-standing dream, and broken through all obstacles.

为什么你还感到如此痛苦?

Why do you still feel so painful?

在实现梦想的那一刻,我的内心确实感到了巨大的满足。

At the moment I was realizing my dream, I really felt great satisfaction at the bottom of my heart.

但几乎就在转瞬之间,我就感到了无尽的虚无。

But almost in an instant, I felt the endless nothingness.

看到极光给我带来了什么呢?好像什么也没有。

What did the aurora bring to me?

好像什么也没有。

There seems to be nothing.

我至今仍然清晰地记得我小时候梦想看到极光时那份心中的悸动,

I still clearly remember the palpitation in my heart when I dreamed of seeing the aurora as a child

但在长大后,那份悸动变得越来越淡。

But when I grew up, the throbbing became lighter and lighter.

我被生活压得喘不过气来,再也无力完成那所谓的梦想。

I was overwhelmed by life, and was no longer able to complete the so-called dream.

可当我埋葬我的梦想时,我的心中却又有着不甘。

But when I buried my dream, my heart was unwilling.

所以,我尽了最大努力,带着我这不知道还能活多久的躯壳来到了这里,

So, I’ve tried my best, and came here with the body that I didn’t know how long I could live,

**我渴望极光能给我带来永恒的意义,让我可以更加勇敢地对抗生活。

I long for the aurora to bring me an eternal meaning, so that I can fight bravely against life.

但那是不存在的,它什么意义也没有。

But that doesn’t exist,it has no meaning at all.

我的生活不会有任何改变,我的故事也不会飞向蓝天。

My life will not change, and my story will not fly to the blue sky.

既然如此,生活还有什么意义呢?

In that case, what is the meaning of life?

能够为之心动的梦想在实现后便索然无味,

The dream that can be moved for it will be dull after it is realized

我们所有的追求到了最后都会化为虚无。

All our pursuits will turn into nothingness in the end.

那我们为什么要追求它呢?

Why should we pursue it?

所以,我不打算继续走下去了。

So, I’m not going to go on.

既然生活没有任何意义,就让我离去吧。

Since life has no meaning, let me go.

让我走向深渊,拥抱永恒的虚无,拥抱永恒的死亡。

Let me go to the abyss, to embrace the eternal nothingness, to embrace the eternal death.

Cheems,别骗自己了。

Cheems,Don’t lie to yourself.

在你内心深处,你并不是为了看到极光而来。

Deep in your heart, you’re not here to see the aurora.

你只是想逃避,为了逃避你的现在、过去和未来的生活。

You just want to escape, in order to escape your present, past and future life.

可是逃避之后呢?你还是要回来面对一切。

But after escaping? You still have to come back and face everything.

你不只是因为生活没有意义才想要放弃

You don’t just want to give up because life is meaningless

你在害怕,害怕你未来痛苦和绝望人生将要如何度过。

you’re afraid, fear how you will spend your painful and hopeless life in the future.

过去的你将对未来的希望寄托在一个看起来有意义有价值的事情上——看极光

In the past, you put your hopes for the future on something that seems meaningful and valuable-watching the aurora.

可那不过是镜花水月而已。

But that’s just a mirage.

当你真正意识到这一点时,你就对生活彻底投降了。

When you really realize this, you surrender to life.

既然观看极光没有意义,既然生活没有意义,为什么还要继续活下去?

since watching the aurora is meaningless, since life is meaningless, why continue to live?

但是,Cheems,正是这个世界的现在、过去、将来都不存在意义,我们才得以从幻梦中解脱,得以真实的去面对这个虚无的世界。

But,Cheems,It is because the world has no meaning in the present, in the past or in the future, and because life has no meaning in the first place, that we are freed from the illusion, and are able to be real with the world of nothingness.

将意义抛下吧,那根本不重要。

Leave meaning behind, it doesn’t matter.

在一切旧思想被打碎重组后,我们才会得以新生。

It is only after all the old ideas have been broken down and reorganized that we can be reborn.

所以,Cheems,回到一切的根源上去吧,为了做某件事而去做。

So,Cheems,to go back to the roots of everything, to do something in order to do it.

而生命的意义就是…

The meaning of life is…

去码头整点薯条!

Go to the dock and order some French fries!

没有任何理由,也无需任何意义。

There is no reason, nor need any meaning.

只是为了整点薯条而整点薯条。

Just order the fries for the sake of ordering the fries.

活在每一个必将到来的当下,不受意义的控制与折磨,然后与这虚无、残酷、而又痛苦的生活斗争到最后一秒,在每一个痛苦且没有意义的日子中起舞,最后勇敢的爱上生活。

Live in every present moment that must come, be free from that control and torture of meaning, then fight against this nihilistic, cruel and painful life till the last second, and finally fall in love with life bravely.

那不才是这个世界最有勇气,最值得奋斗的事情吗??

Isn’t that the most courageous and worthy thing in the world?

所以,Cheems,你的答案是?

So, Cheems,what’s your answer?
