#英语# 英文这么肤浅，为什么还成了世界语言？

英国诗人约翰·济慈的墓碑上：Here lies one whose name was writ in water。翻译成中文字面意思，“这里躺着一个名字被写在水中的人。”

约翰.济慈想说自己成就一般般，很快就会被忘记。
看看中国《万宣道墓志》的金句，“不以居高易其志，不以荣辱累其神；行在言前，身居其后。”

为何我说英语肤浅，看看济慈的英语墓志铭和中文的墓志铭，水平高下立判。
我看过济慈的诗，很肤浅很苍白。就去韩国的烧酒，很贵但特别难喝，除了烧喉没有韵味。

不知道是济慈不行，还是英语限制了他的发挥。

When you feel like hope is gone,look inside you and search your soul.you will find a hero lies in you. dreams are hard to follow,but don't let anyone steal your dream.
当你感觉希望不在的时候,看一下自己的内心世界,搜索一下自己的灵魂,你会找到一个英雄在你心中。梦想可能很难实现,但是不要让任何人偷走你的梦想。 https://t.cn/8skR3oy

I could speak a million lies, a million songs, a million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time,

But if there was a single truth, a single light，a single thought, a singular touch of grace，

Then following this single point, this single flame, the single haunted memory of your face，

I still love you.
