如果你必须离开 if you must leave

 

我明白了，如果你必须离开一个你曾经生活过、深爱过的地方，离开这里，除了慢慢地离开，其他任何方式都要离开，用你能用最快的方式离开。永远不要回头，永远不要相信你记忆中的一个时刻是更好的时刻，因为它已经死了。过去的岁月似乎是安全的，被征服的，而未来生活在云层中，从远处看是可怕的。当你进入云层时，云层就会散去。我已经学会了这一点，但和所有人一样，我学得晚了。~Beryl Markham，《夜色西去》

《夜行西行》是贝丽尔·马卡姆 1942 年出版的一本回忆录，记录了她 20 世纪初在肯尼亚（当时的英属东非）长大的经历，后来她在那里成为了一名赛马教练和丛林飞行员。这本书被认为是户外文学的经典之作，出版后不久就被收录到美国武装部队版书籍中。[1] 2004 年，《国家地理探险》杂志将其列为 100 本最佳探险书籍第 8 名。[2]

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance. The cloud clears as you enter it. I have learned this, but like everyone, I learned it late. ~Beryl Markham , West with the Night 

West with the Night is a 1942 memoir by Beryl Markham, chronicling her experiences growing up in Kenya (then British East Africa) in the early 1900s, leading to celebrated careers as a racehorse trainer and bush pilot there. It is considered a classic of outdoor literature and was included in the United States' Armed Services Editions shortly after its publication.[1] In 2004, National Geographic Adventure ranked it number 8 in its list of the 100 best adventure books.[2]
