The opening of doors is a mystery act: it has in it some flavor of the unknown, some sense of moving into a new moment and a new pattern of the human rigmarole.
开门是一个神秘的动作：它包含着某种未知的情趣、某种进入新时刻的感知和一种人类繁冗仪式的新形式。
It includes the highest glimpses of mortal gladness: reunions, reconciliations and the bliss of lovers long parted.
它包含着人间至乐的最高闪现：重聚、和解和久别恋人们的极大喜悦。
Even in sadness, the opening of a door may bring relief: it changes and redistributes human forces. But the closing of doors can be terrible. It is a confession of finality. Every door closed brings something to an end. And there are degrees of sadness in the closing of doors. A door slammed is a confession of weakness. A door gently shut can be the most tragic gesture. Every one knows the pain that comes just after the closing of a door, when the loved one is still near, within hearing, yet already far away.
即使在悲伤之际，一扇门的开启也会带来些许安慰：它改变并重新分配人类的力量。然而，门的关闭要可怕得多。它表明这是最终定局。每一扇门的`关闭就意味者一个结束。在门的关闭中隐藏着不同程度的悲伤。一扇门砰然关上是人性软弱的象征；一扇门轻轻关上常常是生活中最具有悲剧意味的动作。每一个人都知道门关闭之后接踵而来的揪心之痛，尤其是当所爱的人音容犹在，而人已远去之时。
The opening and closing of doors is part of the serious flow of life. It will not stay still, or let us alone. We are continually opening doors in hope, closing them in despair.
开门和关门是生命流逝的一部分。生命不会静止不动，或听任我们孤寂无为。我们总是不断地怀着希望开门，又绝望地把门关上。
