Roll the dice

Charles Bukowski

If you’re going to try, go all the wayOtherwise, don’t even startIf you’re going to try, go all the wayThis could mean losing girlfriendswives, relatives, jobsand maybe your mindGo all the wayIt could mean not eating for 3 or 4 daysIt could mean freezing on a park benchIt could mean jailIt could mean derisionIt could mean mockeryisolationIsolation is the giftAll the others are a test of your enduranceof how much you really want to do itAnd you’ll do itdespite rejection and the worst oddsand it will be better than anything else you can imagineIf you’re going to trygo all the waythere is no other feeling like thatYou will be along with the godsand the nights will flame with fireDo it, do it, do itall the wayall the wayyou will ride lifeit's the perfect laughterit’s the only good fight there is

孤注一掷

查尔斯·布考斯基

如果你主意已定，不要回头否则，不要踏上征程如果你主意已定，不要回头你可能会因此没了爱情输了家庭，众叛亲离，丢了工作还会让你头脑发疯不要回头你可能会因此数日无一粒米果腹也可能会在公园长椅上瑟瑟发抖你可能会身陷囹圄或者沦为笑柄遭人嘲弄孤苦伶仃“孤苦伶仃”就是天赐之礼啊所有别的一切都不过是耐力测试考验出你究竟有几许雄心壮志而你会一往直前尽管阻碍重重，尽管前途不算光明这依然是你梦想中最美好的愿望如果你主意已定不要回头还会有哪种感受如此美妙你将会与诸神并肩而那夜晚，如火焰般燃烧去做吧，去做吧，去做吧不要回头不要回头你会驾驭着人生一路前行驶向极致欢乐这是唯一值得征战的沙场
