All that city,you just couldn't see the end to it. The end? Please? You please just show me where it ends? It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn't see. You understand that? What I didn't see. In all that sprawling city there was everything except an end. There was no end. What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end. The end of the world... 所有的那些城市，你就是无法看到尽头。尽头？拜托，麻烦你让我看看它的尽头在哪儿？阻止我的脚步的，并不是我所看见的东西，而是我所看不见的东西。你明白么，Max？就是我看不见的那些。在那个无尽蔓延的城市里，什么都有，就是没有尽头。根本没有尽头。我看不见这一切的尽头，世界的尽头。

Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are eighty-eight of them, nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on these keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by.You get me up on that gangway and you're rolling out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end, and that's the truth, Max. That they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano.

拿钢琴来打个比方，琴键是有始有终的。你确切地知道有88个键在哪儿，错不了。它并不是无尽的，而你才是那个无限可能的人，由你在键盘上所创造的音乐也是无限的。我喜欢这样，我能以此为生。然而你把我推到舷梯上，就相当于于给了我一架有百万琴键的钢琴，百万千万无穷无尽的琴键，那是事实，它们没有尽头，键盘是无限的。如果那个琴键是无限的，那么在那个键盘上就没有你能弹奏的曲子，你坐错地方了，那是上帝的钢琴。

All that world is weighing down on me, you don't even know where where it comes to an end, and aren't you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of it? The enormity of living it? ” 全世界的重量都压在我的身上，你根本不知道哪里结束，难道你不会为自己生活在无穷的选择里而害怕得崩溃掉吗？
