【第1句】：Moonlight city. You just couldn't see an end to it. It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn't see.

【第2句】：Take the piano. Keys begin. Keys end. You know there are 88 of them. They're not infinite. You're infinite. And on those keys, the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by. But you get me up on that gangway, and you roll them out in front of me. Keyboards have millions and billions of keys that never end. That keyboard is infinite. Then on that keyboard there's no music you can play. That's God's piano.

【第3句】：Did you see the streets? There're thousands of them. How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one way to die… You don't even know where it comes to an end. Aren't you ever just scared of breaking apart with the thought of it?

【第4句】：I was born on this ship. And the world passed me by. But 2000 people at a time and there're old wishes here. But nevermore that fit between prow and stern. You played out your happiness bit on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way.

【第5句】：Land? Land is a ship too big for me, It's a woman too beautiful, a bridge too long, perfume to strong, music I don't know how to play. I can never get off this ship. At best, I didn't step off my life. After all, I don't exist for anyone.

【第6句】：偌大的城市，綿延無盡。并非是我眼見的讓我停住了腳步，而是我所看不見的。你能明白嗎？

【第7句】：拿鋼琴來說。鍵盤有始亦有終。你確切地知道88個鍵就在那兒，錯不了。它們并不是無限的，而你，才是無限的。你能在鍵盤上表現的音樂是無限的。我喜歡這樣，我能輕松應付。而你現在讓我走過跳板，走到城市里，等著我的是一個沒有盡頭的鍵盤。我又怎能在這樣的鍵盤上彈奏呢？那是上帝的鍵盤啊！

【第8句】：你看到那數不清的街道嗎？如何只選擇其中一條去走？一個共渡一生的女人，一幢屬于自己的屋子，一種生與死的方式……你甚至不知道什么時候才是盡頭。一想到這個，難道不會害怕、會崩潰嗎？

【第9句】：我在這艘船上出生。世事千變萬化，然而這艘船每次只載2000人。這里有著希望，但僅在船頭和船尾之間。你可以在有限的鋼琴上奏出你的歡欣快樂。我習慣了這樣的生活。

【第10句】：陸地？陸地對我來說是一艘太大的船，太漂亮的女人，太長的旅程，太濃烈的香水，無從著手的音樂。我永遠無法走下這艘船，這樣的話，我寧可舍棄我的生命。畢竟，我從沒有為任何人存在過，不是么？
