我心靈上的枷鎖已經解脫，天神，你就為我吹一口和風，讓我們的船可以鼓滿帆蓬，慈悲的神明，早已經赦免可憐萬民的過失，你們的罪過，無人追究，你們的寬大，也給我自由。

The shackles in my mind have already been extricated. Heavens, blow a gentle breeze for me to let our ship sail. The merciful spirits have already pardoned the pitiful common people's faults. Your crimes...no one is following up. Your indulgence has also given me freedom.

FYI: This monologue is actually an excerpt from The Tempest by William Shakespeare.

如果清醒只會令人痛苦，那為什麼不讓人家只是留在夢中？如果生存的目標已經失去，為什麼不可以在夢中找回？如果夢裡面是一個充滿希望的世界，為什麼我還要醒過來？

If waking up would only make one miserable, then why not let him only stay in the dream? If the goal to survive has already been lost, why can you not retrieve it in a dream? If the dream is filled with a hopeful world, why would I still have to wake up?

我曾經以為，我會為我做過的錯事內疚一生一世，但是我錯了，我忘了人是會累的，內疚本來就是最令人疲累的事，我想已經夠了。

I once thought that I would feel guilty my entire life for the wrong things that I had done; however, I was wrong. I forgot that people would get tired. Guilt is originally the thing that makes people the most exhausted. I think that it is already enough.

謊言和喝酒一樣，當你習慣了喝醉後的飄然，你會願意醉下去，當你相信謊話的甜蜜之後，你就不再願意去了解事情的真相，情願被它騙下去。

Lies and drinking are the same. When you get used to floating in the air from getting drunk, you would be willing to continue being drunk. After believing the sweetness of lies, you would no longer be willing to understand the truth of the matter...would rather continue being deceived by it.

人心天生就是偏向一邊，因為這個緣故，我們對事、對人的判斷，從來就不可能做到公正、公平，善惡正邪、黑白是非，誰能準確判斷？

The human heart is naturally on one side. Because of this, our judgment toward matters and people can never be just and fair. Good or evil, black or white, true or false....who can correctly judge?

黑和白之間，總有個灰色地帶，它比黑白兩邊更加要廣，更加能夠包容，我們絕大部分的人就是生活在其中，所以無人可以是永遠的好人或是壞人，這就是人世，這就是你和我的宿命。

Between black and white, there is always a grey area. It is even broader than black and white, and can be even more tolerant. The majority of people is living in it; thus, no one is a good person or a bad person forever. This is the world. This is your and my fate.

我們每個人的心中，都有一張又一張不同的臉，所以每個人臉上的面具，都不一定是假的，此刻我臉上正掛著什麼呢？這個真的是我內心的一部分嗎？為什麼我的內心，竟然會有這麼一個模樣？

In everyone's heart, there is a different face one after another. Thus, everyone's mask is not necessarily fake. At this moment, what is hanging on my face? Is this really a part of my innermost feelings? Why do my innermost feelings have this appearance?

人天生就是雜食動物，各種巧妙的廚藝，餐桌上各種進食的規範，一切都只是為了掩飾，要我們忘記食物本來也有它的生命，但是我們吃不飽就不能生存，那麼其他的生命我們為什麼要管？

Humans are born as omnivorous animals. Each kind of ingenious kitchen skill and the eating standards on the dinner table are only to conceal. Want us to forget that food also had its own life originally; however, if we are not full, then cannot survive. Then why do we have to care about others' lives?

生命最重要的價值是愛，表現愛最偉大的方式是犧牲，正因為有人願意為他人犧牲性命，愛，才能流傳下去。

The most important value in life is love. The greatest way to express love is sacrifice. It is because there is someone who is willing to sacrifice one's life for another that love can then spread.

動物世界最擅長偽裝的是八爪魚，比變色龍還要狠，但是他們始終比不上人類，人類為了利益，隱藏自己的真本性，到最後連自己都不認得自己，這種埋沒良心的本領，其他的動物做得到嗎？

In the animal world, the octopus excels the most at camouflage, even more ruthless than the chameleon; however, they still cannot compare to humans. For benefits, humans hide their true selves. In the end, don't even recognize themselves. This ability to bury one's conscience...can other animals do it?

以前我希望我夢中的女兒，可以在現實中跟我一起生活，但是現在現實中的她走進我的夢中，我又覺得這個夢太真實，我開始懷疑、奇怪、混淆，到底什麼時候是夢，什麼時候是真實的生活？

Before, I hoped that the daughter in my dream could be with me in reality; however, now, the her in reality has entered my dream. I also think that this dream is too real. I am getting suspicious, strange, and confused...when exactly is it a dream and when is it real life?

世事的真假重要嗎？掩飾本來就是人的天性，真真假假，又有誰來分辨呢？有些事你永遠都不會知道真相，就永遠都不會受到傷害，所以世事的真假，本來就不重要。

Are the world's truths and falsehoods important? Originally, concealing is human nature. True or false...who distinguishes it? There are some things in which you would never know the truth...then would never get hurt. Thus, the world's truths and falsehoods were at first not important.

要窺視一個人的內心世界，就像一次冒險旅程，因為每一個人，無論他有多真善，他的內心深處往往是漆黑一片。

Looking into a person's inner world is like a risky journey because every person, regardless of how friendly he is, his heart of hearts is often pitch black.

我看到火，首先燒著的是森林裡面的一間小屋，看著火光，我希望自己是一場雨，可以將火澆熄，但無奈我只是天上的一抹煙霞，看著這場火無止境地燒下去，將整個森林燒光為止。

I see a fire initially burning a hut within a forest. Looking at the flame, I hope that I am rain...able to extinguish the fire. However, helplessly, I am only a haze in the sky, watching this fire burn without limits...burning down the entire forest.

世界上最令人失望的事，是你以為很了解一個人，但是某一天，你才發現你從來沒有認識過他。而更令人失望的是你發現這個你從來沒有了解過的人，原來就是你自己。

The most disappointing thing in the world is you thinking that you really understand someone; however, one day, you then discover that you have never known him. What's even more disappointing is you discovering that the person you never understood is actually yourself.

有一句話叫“人算不如天算”，說這句話的人，只是因為他對自己做人的本事，根本沒信心，我就只相信“人定勝天”，人生中怎可能沒有低潮的時候，只要你在逆境沉著應付，永不言敗，就一定可以絕處逢生。

There is a saying called "man proposes, God disposes". A person says this because he does not have confidence in his own capabilities. I only believe that "man can conquer nature". In a lifetime, how can there be no low points? As long as you calmly deal with adverse circumstances, and never say die, then will definitely be able to make a miraculous recovery.

這麼多年來，很多人勸過我放手，日子就會好過得多，道理我明白，但是要做到，又談何容易，我一個人放下執著，就全世界都好過，這麼多年來，我是做對還是做錯呢？

For so many years, many people have urged me to let go...then the days will go by better. I understand this principle; however, to be able to do it is easier said than done. If I let go of my stubbornness, then the entire world would be better. For so many years, have I done right or done wrong?

有信念，就有希望，有希望，就會夢想成真，你相信嗎？你知不知道什麼叫期望越大失望越大？如果這個世界上所有人，只要有希望，就能夢想成真的話，那麼人世間的痛苦又從何而來呢？

If there's faith, then there's hope. If there's hope, then dreams will come true. Do you believe it? Do you know what is called 'the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment'? If everyone in this world just has to have hope, and then dreams can come true, then where does the world's pain come from?

一個女人為了表現自己堅強的個性，常常將心裡所有不開心的事隱瞞，其實能夠面對自己的軟弱，也許才是真正的堅強。

To express one's strong personality, a woman often conceals every unhappy thing in her heart. To be able to face one's weakness may actually be true strength.

這個世界，並非你我心目中想的那麼完美，它根本就是由一個又一個的謊話堆砌出來的，如果相信一個謊話，會令自我感覺良好的話，那就騙自己一生一世，或許也是一種幸福。

This world is not as perfect as you think. It is actually built from lie after lie. If believing in a lie can make one's ego feel good, then deceiving oneself for a lifetime may also be a kind of bliss.
