突然刷到东野圭吾离世的消息，很是震惊。
震惊的原因，不是因为他只有68岁，而是我一直以为他早日去世多年。
好吧，我承认，作为他的读者，我仅仅是读完了他每一本书。
仅此而已。
再翻手机，有人整理了他书中一些引人共鸣的句子，其中几个也是我的收藏，于是借了图片过来与大家分享——
You know how the sun rises and sets at a certain time each day? In the same way, all of our lives have a day and night. But it's not set like it is with the sun. Some people walk forever in the sunlight, and some people have to walk through the darkest night their whole lives. When people talk about being afraid, what they're afraid of is that their sun will set. That the light they love will fade.
你知道太阳每天在固定时间升起和落下吧？同样，我们每个人的生命也有白昼和黑夜。但并非像太阳那样一成不变。有些人永远走在阳光下，而有些人一生都必须在最黑暗的夜里穿行。人们说害怕，其实是害怕自己的太阳会落下，害怕所钟爱的光芒会消失。
Sometimes, all you had to do was exist in order to be someone's saviour.
有时候，你只需存在，就能成为某人的救世主。
Even when you're at the top, there's always something higher.
即便你已站在顶端，也总有更高的地方。
When you wander in the dark too long, you start to see things that aren’t really there.
在黑暗中徘徊太久，你就会开始看见并不存在的东西。
Be a fighter. Give it everything you've got. Even a losing battle is worth fighting. Go out and make your mark.
做个斗士。倾尽全力。即使是必败之战也值得一搏。走出去，留下你的印记。
Which is harder: devising an unsolvable problem, or solving that problem?
哪个更难：设计一个无解的问题，还是解决那个问题？
Sometimes it's as important to prove there is no answer to a question as it is to answer it.
有时候，证明一个问题没有答案，和回答它本身同样重要。
Your map has yet to be drawn. Which makes it impossible to decide where you’re going, much less how you’re going to get there.
Faced with a blank map, who wouldn’t feel lost? It would puzzle anyone.
But try this on for size. A blank map means you can fill it in however you like. It’s entirely up to you. Everything is open; the possibilities are limitless.
It’s a beautiful thing. I can only hope this helps you find a way to start believing in yourself, and to move through life with no regrets.
你的地图还未被绘制。因此，你无法决定要去哪里，更不用说如何到达。面对一张空白的地图，谁会不感到迷茫？这会让任何人困惑。
但换个角度想想：空白的地图意味着你可以随心所欲地填充它。一切都由你决定。一切皆有可能，无限广阔。
这是多么美好的事。我只希望这能帮你找到相信自己的方法，并在人生路上无悔前行。
People don't drift apart for one specific reason. Well, you might be able to find a reason, but you could come up with one only after you made up your mind, a tired excuse tacked on after the fact.
If their hearts were still in it and their bond was threatening to sever, you'd think one of them would step in and try to fix things. When no one does, you know the bond has already been broken.
人们不会因为某一个特定的原因而疏远。嗯，也许你能找到一个理由，但那往往是你下定决心后，才事后附加上去的牵强借口。如果彼此的心还在，羁绊尚未断裂，总该有人站出来试图修补。没有人这样做的时候，你就知道那份羁绊其实早已断了。
There's something I've learned from years of reading people's letters. In most cases, they already have an answer to their problem. They're asking for advice because they want to see if other people think they're making the right decision. That's why a lot of people send me a response after reading my advice. Maybe they had a different solution in mind.
多年阅读他人来信，我学到一件事：大多数情况下，写信人对自己的问题已有答案。他们来咨询，只是想看看别人是否也认为他们做出了正确的决定。所以很多人读完我的回信后，会再寄来反馈——也许他们心中原本就有另一种答案。
It didn't bother me. It excited my curiosity. And I believe there is no greater sin than to leave one's curiosity unsatisfied.
这并未使我困扰，反而激起了我的好奇心。而我相信，没有什么罪过比让自己的好奇心得不到满足更大。
