Fall /《坠落》(zhuìluò)

1. Life is fleeting. Life is short, too short. So you gotta use every moment. You have to do something that makes you feel alive.

生命转瞬即逝,人生苦短,太短了。所以你必须利用每一刻,必须做一些让你感觉活着的事情。

(shēnɡmìnɡ zhuǎnshùn jíshì, rénshēnɡ kǔduǎn, tàiduǎnle. suǒyǐ nǐ bìxū lìyònɡ měiyīkè, bìxū zuò yīxiē rànɡnǐ ɡǎnjué huózhe de shìqinɡ.)

2. Don't talk to me that way. Your mother and I raised you better than that.

不许那样跟我说话。你妈跟我可不是那样教育你的。

(bùxǔ nàyànɡ ɡēnwǒ shuōhuà. nǐmā ɡēnwǒ kě bùshì nàyànɡ jiàoyù nǐ de.)

3. I've tried to console you every way I know how. But I can't help you if you don't pick up the phone.

我试图用我知道的各种方法来安慰你。但是你不接电话,我就没法帮你。

(wǒ shìtú yònɡ wǒ zhīdàode ɡèzhǒnɡ fānɡfǎ lái ānwèi nǐ. dànshì nǐ bù jiēdiànhuà, wǒ jiù méifǎ bānɡnǐ.)

4. If you don't confront your fears, you are always going to be afraid.

不敢面对恐惧,你就会一直恐惧下去。 

(bùɡǎn miànduì kǒnɡjù, nǐ jiùhuì yīzhí kǒnɡjù xiàqù.)

5. If you're scared of dying, don't be afraid to live.

你如果害怕死亡,请不要害怕活着。

(nǐ rúɡuǒ hàipà sǐwánɡ, qǐnɡ bùyào hàipà huózhe.)

6. You are so much stronger than you think you are.

你比自己以为的要强大得多。 

(nǐ bǐ zìjǐ yǐwéi de yào qiánɡdà de duō.)

7. They're waiting for you to give up so they can attack.

他们在等着你放弃,然后向你发起攻击。

(tāmen zài děnɡzhe nǐ fànɡqì, ránhòu xiànɡnǐ fāqǐ ɡōnɡjī.)
