I just went through a very tough time of my life.

我剛剛經(jīng)歷了人生中非常艱難的一段時(shí)期。

And the improbable unfolding of recent events has lead me to consider that no one thing is one thing only.

這段時(shí)間里各種看似不可能的事情接連發(fā)生，它們讓我不禁意識(shí)到：世上沒有什么事情是單純而片面的。

People keep defining what’s familiar with new, ever-evolving meanings.

人們一直都在為熟悉的東西賦予新的、不斷演化的含義。

By doing so, we release ourselves from the expected, the familiar, into something unforeseen.

通過這樣做，我們將自己從那些司空見慣的東西中釋放出來，并投身到那些未曾被預(yù)見的事物中。

And it is in this unfamilar realm that we find new possibilities.

正是在這陌生的領(lǐng)域里我們才能找到新的可能性。

It is in the unknown that we find hope.

正是在未知之中，我們才能找到希望。

Some people kept learning hard for a time in their life, but then they decided that they’ve known what they need to know.

有些人在一生中曾經(jīng)刻苦地學(xué)習(xí)著，但后來他們卻認(rèn)為自己已經(jīng)知道了需要知道的一切。

They developed a mental immune system.

于是他們的思維里產(chǎn)生了一種免疫系統(tǒng)。

They refuse to accept anything which this system finds unsettling.

任何被這個(gè)系統(tǒng)認(rèn)定為不安因素的事物，都會(huì)被他們拒于千里之外。

Sometimes they even attack when they see such things.

有時(shí)候，當(dāng)他們看到這些事物的時(shí)候，他們甚至?xí)归_攻擊。

They have stopped evolving.

他們已經(jīng)停止進(jìn)化了。

And sometimes I even found myself doing similar things.

時(shí)不時(shí)地，我甚至發(fā)現(xiàn)自己也在做這樣的事情。

So I’m actually writing all this to make myself remember that the search for knowledge is an endless path.

所以，我現(xiàn)在寫下這一切是為了讓自己記住：尋求知識(shí)的道路是無窮無盡的。

Let’s be each other’s reminder, my friend.

讓我們來提醒彼此吧，我的朋友。

Keep learning.

不要停止學(xué)習(xí)。

Keep evolving.

不要停止進(jìn)化。

Keep being humble and hungry.

永遠(yuǎn)謙卑，永遠(yuǎn)保持對(duì)真知的饑渴。
