登高望遠:climb的用法小結
Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love: illusions. Only the ladder is real; the climb is all there is.
——Game of Thrones
混亂不是深淵。混亂是階梯。很多人想往上爬,卻失敗了,且永無機會再試。他們墜落而亡。有些人本有機會攀爬,但他們拒絕了。他們守着王國,守着諸神,守着愛情——盡皆幻象。唯有階梯真實存在,攀爬纔是生活的全部。
——《權力的遊戲》
