“Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”- Dr. Brand

“不要温和地走进那个良夜。白昼将尽，暮年仍应燃烧咆哮。怒斥吧，怒斥光的消逝。”——布兰登博士

 

The origin of this quote is a poem from early 20th century by Dylan Thomas.

这句话引用自20世纪早期狄兰·托马斯的诗作。

Dr. Brand here talks about death and last moments you spend on this world. He claims you shouldn’t go down easily, taking the option of laying on a comfortable bed and awaiting for the angels to take you away. No, you should remain in fighting spirit and be more passionate than ever before. It just means you have little time remaining to leave a lasting impression and a lot of the time, the final moments of a man become what people remember about him the most. It’s about passion and not giving up.

布兰登博士在这里谈论是死亡，和你在这个世上度过的最后时光。他说的是你们不要轻易地被打败，不要随随便便地选择躺在一张舒适的床上等待天使接你离开人世。不，你需要留有斗争精神，而且比之前还要充满热情，它意味着即使你的时间不多了，不得以永垂不朽，但很多时候，一个人最后的时光会成为人们牢记他的那一刻。这句话表达的是热情和永不言弃。

This quote actually goes completely against Brand’s character as it is revealed he had already given up on the human race and had sent Cooper and the crew away to find new life for humanity. It is interesting what people can say to hide their true nature.

这句话事实上和布兰登的人物形象截然相反，因为片中透露了他已经全然放弃了人类，而且派库珀和船员们出去寻找人类新的生存环境。很有意思吧，人们为了隐藏他们的本性什么都会说。

 

 

 “We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars, now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.”- Cooper

“我们曾经仰望星空，思考我们在宇宙中的位置，而现在我们只会低着头，担心如何在这片土地上活下去。”——库珀

 

This is a short quote but to the point in regards to how Cooper feels about what life had become. It’s about lacking ambition. People become content with what they have despite not having much and it shows they’re not passionate about life or driven to make the most out of it. He’s not the type of man who just sits idly by waiting for his life to end. He wants to make something of it and seek out his purpose.

这是一句简短的台词，但却反映了库珀感受到的生活已然变成了什么样。这句话说的是缺乏雄心壮志。尽管资源已经短缺，人们还是对现有的十分满意，这句话也表明了他们对生活或者说燃烧余热毫无热情。他不是那种闲坐着等死的男人。他想要创造些什么，去寻求他的目的。

 

 

 “We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we’ve just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we’ve barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.”- Cooper

“我们总坚信自己有能力去完成不可能的事情。我们珍视这些时刻，这些我们敢于追求卓越、突破障碍、探索星空、揭开未知面纱的时刻，我们将这些时刻视为我们最值得骄傲的成就。但我们已经失去了这一切。又或者，也许我们只是忘了我们仍然是开拓者，我们才刚刚开始。那些伟大的成就不能只属于过去，因为我们的命运就在太空。”——库珀

 

This is again another Cooper quote that expands upon the previous quote. It’s about trying to do the difficult thing in life because it is these moments that will define you. Rather than looking back at the accomplishments of your forefathers, you should look to make great accomplishments of your own.

这是另一段库珀的台词，这段话对先前那句台词进行了展开。说的是人的一生该尝试一些困难重重的东西，因为这些时光定义了你的人生。而不是回望你祖先的那些成就，你应该自己去创造伟大的成就。

 

 

“Maybe we’ve spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory. Love is the one thing that transcends time and space.”- Amelia Brand

“也许我们花了太多时间去试图解开这些理论。爱是唯一可以超越时间与空间的事物。”——艾米莉亚·布兰登

 

This is the quote that defines the movie. The movie was about love being more powerful than anything else and it was the love of Murph and Cooper that brought the world back from extinction. It was the thought that he must save Murph’s future that drove Cooper to make the sacrifice of leaving her behind. I think in today’s day and age, people don’t give love enough credit.

这句台词是电影的主旨。电影说的就是爱，是超越世上所有一切的强大的存在，而且是库珀和墨菲之间的爱把世界从末日里拯救出来。库珀必须要拯救墨菲未来的信念驱使着他做出牺牲，把她留下。我认为在如今这个年代，人们并不相信爱。

 

 

“Murphy’s law doesn’t mean that something bad will happen. It means that whatever can happen, will happen.”- Cooper

“墨菲定律并非指的是那些变坏的事情必会发生…而是指那些能够发生的事情，就会发生。”——库珀

 

Now this was an interesting one because the actual law states that if something bad can happen, it will happen. You’ve got to take things from that point of view but I guess Cooper doesn’t want his daughter to think of it in a negative way and spins it into something more positive and full of hope. It is a nice quote to go by in life as I too go by a similar thought.

这是很有意思的一句话，因为真正的墨菲定律声称如果糟糕的事情会发生的话，它就将会发生。你要从这个角度来看待事物，但是我猜库珀不希望他的女儿从消极的方面看待事物，从而将这个定律扭转成更为积极的，充满希望的一句话。这是看待生活的一句很积极的台词，而且我也有类似的想法。
