虚无缥缈

If you believe nothing is always what's left after a while, as I did, If you believe you have this collection of ungiven gifts, as I do (right here behind the silence and the averted eyes) If you believe an afternoon can collapse into strange privacies— how in your backyard, for example, the shyness of flowers can be suddenly overwhelming, and in the distance the clear goddamn of thunder personal, like a voice, If you believe there's no correct response to death, as I do; that even in grief (where I've sat making plans) there are small corners of joy If your body sometimes is a light switch in a house of insomniacs If you can feel yourself straining to be yourself every waking minute If, as I am, you are almost smiling ...

如果，你相信，一段光阴过后，留下的只有虚无缥缈，正如我过去所信的那样；如果，你相信，你具有这非天赋的才能秉性，正如我现在(就在这沉默和躲闪的目光之后)所信的这样；如果，你相信，下午有可能会倒塌成为些陌生的隐私——怎么会在你的后院里，比如说，花儿的羞涩突然变得如此势不可挡，而在远处，征友广告好似雷鸣，该死而清晰，犹如人的声音；如果，你相信，死亡没有正确的答案存在，正如我所信的这样，尽管在悲哀中也会有欢乐的小角落；如果，你的身体也有时会是失眠人房里的电灯开关；如果，你在醒着的每分钟里都能感到自己是在尽力保持本性；如果，和我一样，你的微笑即将来临。。。。。。

It's foolish hungering for an impossible next.

追求虚无缥缈的未来是愚蠢的。

Her idea of love was more that of placid affection, serving the loved one softly in an atmosphere, flower-scented and dim-lighted, of ethereal calm.

她把爱情看得更像是平静的温情，在一个花香馥郁、光影迷离、虚无缥缈、万籁俱寂的氛围里，被拿来温柔地献给心爱的人。

It's more than the superficial rainbow

它不象虚无缥缈的彩虹

So she obsesses and obsesses over this fantasy dad,propping up her make-believe with scraps,Scraps of a happy life that never was.

因此她不断地被这个幻想出来的爸爸所迷住，所困扰。用记忆的碎片来支撑所谓爸爸的虚假存在。这些记忆都是虚无缥缈的。

But working on a software project all by yourself, instead of being empowering, is paradoxically debilitating. It's a shifting mirage that offers the tantalizing promise of relief, while somehow leaving you thirstier and weaker than you started.

一个人包揽软件项目中的大小事情，而不是分摊给更多的人，这只会让人变得虚弱；这是一个虚无缥缈的海市蜃楼，让你感觉自己即将被解救，而实际上比开始的时候更口渴和虚弱了

He usually parks the painting subjects like the small rabbits, to non-realistic scenes and distorts them as alike as Dali's Melting Clock which changes the original form and floats in the air; or steps it up and dance likes the butterfly. In Dai Chao's paintings, you can feel a vague and elusive sense of air feeling and a touch of the poet.

他常常将小兔子等绘画主体置于非现实的场景中，并使它们或如达利的熔化、变形表一样改变了原有的形体、飘荡于空中，或如蝴蝶般翩翩于花丛中：在戴超的画面中，你可以感受到一种虚无缥缈、难以捉摸的空气感和诗人气质。

As a traveler who always pursues 'best', I admire foreign lands, splendid cities, eternal cultural heritage, food offered by foreign chefs and the extremely good inns which have breakthrough in art and extent …… but for travelers who pursue fun (discovery, exploration, scenery, food, shopping, making friends, trance, self-improvement),'best' is visionary. How tightly shall we wind up the clock spring and how much unhappiness shall we need to barter for 'best'?

我是一个不断在旅行里追求'最好'的旅者，此生必去的国度，恢弘伟大的城市，跨越永恒的文化遗产，撼动味蕾与人心的异国大师级料理，在享乐艺术和境界上不停突破与超越的极致旅馆……可是，对旅行所追求的乐趣（发现、探险、风景、美食、购物、交友、发呆、修行）来说，'最好'是如此的虚无缥缈，但是为了追逐它，我们得上多紧的发条，用多少的不快乐去换取？

But Halloween's creepiest creature customs didn't appear out of thin air, not even the ghosts.

但是万圣节最恐怖生物的传统并非凭空捏造，并非那些虚无缥缈的鬼影。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.
