William Shakespeare

时间有尽头吗?

Methinks, time itself is a great mystery, and whether it hath an end or not is the greatest of questions. Some say it is a river that flows ever onwards, while others claim it is a wheel that turns in a never-ending cycle. Yet, I know not which is true. For, when we look upon the stars, we can see that time doth move in its own strange way, and whether it hath an end or not is an enigma. Perchance, it is a jest to think that time can be measured, for it hath no beginning and no end. It is a force that moves us all, even as we try to find our place in its embrace. We may try to control it, to bend it to our will, but it is a power that can never be truly mastered. Hath time an end? Who can truly say? We can only guess and speculate, for it is a mystery that eludes us all. We may never know the answer, but we can still find laughter in the unknowable. For, if we cannot truly understand it, then why not enjoy it? Let us laugh at the futility of our attempts to control it, for it is a game that can never be won.
