I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.

我相信年龄的真正作用是记忆。我正在以最快的速度录音。

I can't date women my own age any more - I hate going to cemeteries.

我再也不能和和我同龄的女人约会了——我讨厌去墓地。

I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

在任何年龄，我都不能满足于坐在炉边而只是旁观。生活就是要活下去。必须保持好奇心。无论出于什么原因，一个人绝不能背弃生活。

I do not agree that an age of pleasure is no compensation for a moment of pain.

我不同意快乐的年龄不能补偿一时的痛苦。

I do wish I could tell you my age but it's impossible. It keeps changing all the time.

我真希望能告诉你我的年龄，但这是不可能的。它一直在变化。

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.

我不相信人会变老。我认为，在人生的早期，人到了一定的年龄，就会停滞不前。

I don't care about age very much.

我不太在乎年龄。

I don't like to boast, but I have probably skipped more poetry than any other person of my age and weight in this country.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

I don't worry about it because we are all growing old. If I were the only one I would worry. But we're all in the same boat, and all of my friends are coming with me. We all go toward old age. How many years left we don't know. We just have to accept it.

我不担心，因为我们都在变老。如果我是唯一一个我会担心的人。但是我们大家处境相同，我所有的朋友都跟我一起去。我们都在走向老年。我们不知道还有多少年。我们必须接受它。

I dread no more the first white in my hair, Or even age itself, the easy shoe, The cane, the wrinkled hands, the special chair. Time, doing this to me, may alter too. My sorrow, into something I can bear.

我不再害怕我头发上的第一缕白发，甚至不再害怕衰老本身，不再害怕那舒适的鞋子、手杖、起皱的双手和那把特殊的椅子。时间对我这样做，可能也会改变。我的悲伤，化作我能承受的东西。

I feel my belief in sacrifice and struggle getting stronger. I despise the kind of existence that clings to the miserly trifles of comfort and self-interest. I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.

我感到我对牺牲和奋斗的信念越来越强烈。我鄙视那种紧紧抓住舒适和私利这些微不足道的小事不放的生活。我认为，一个人不应该活到他开始衰老的年龄，当照亮他生命中最辉煌时刻的火焰已经减弱的时候。
