Five Feet Apart /《五尺天涯》/ (wǔchǐ tiānyá)

1. This whole time I've been living for my treatments, instead of doing my treatments so that I can live. And I wanna live.

一直以来,我都是为了接受治疗而活着,而不是为了活着而接受治疗。我想活下去。

(yīzhí yǐlái, wǒ dōushì wèile jiēshòu zhìliáo érhuózhe, ér bùshì wèile huózhe ér jiēshòu zhìliáo. wǒ xiǎnɡ huó xiàqù.)

2. I'm tired of living without really living. I'm tired of wanting things. 

我厌倦了只有生命而没有生活。我厌倦了索取。

(wǒ yànjuàn le zhǐyǒu shēnɡmìnɡ ér méiyǒu shēnɡhuó. wǒ yànjuàn le suǒqǔ.)

3. You're the kind of guy that ignores the rules because it makes you feel in control.

你是那种无视规则的人,因为这能给你掌控全局的感觉。

(nǐ shì nàzhǒnɡ wúshì ɡuīzé de rén, yīnwèi zhè nénɡ ɡěinǐ zhǎnɡkònɡ quánjú de ɡǎnjué.)

4. You need to lighten up. It's just life. It'll be over before you know it.

你要打起精神来。仅仅是人生而已。你还没意识到,它就已经结束了。

(nǐ yào dǎqǐ jīnɡshén lái. jǐnjǐn shì rénshēnɡ éryǐ. nǐ háiméi yìshí dào, tā jiù yǐjīnɡ jiéshù le.)

5. The rule is that we're not supposed to get within six feet because we could end up catching each other's bacteria.

规则就是,我们之间必须保持六英尺的距离,不然就可能把细菌传给对方。

(ɡuīzé jiùshì, wǒmén zhījiān bìxū bǎochí liù yīnɡchǐ de jùlí, bùrán jiù kěnénɡ bǎ xìjūn chuán ɡěi duìfānɡ.)
