1. You fight when the necessity arises, no matter the mood. 

不管心情如何,需要的时候就要去战斗。

(bùɡuǎn xīnqínɡ rúhé, xūyào de shíhòu jiùyào qù zhàndòu.) 

2. Dreams make good stories, but everything important happens while we're awake.

梦里常有好事发生,但重要的事情都是在人清醒的时候发生的。

(mènɡlǐ chánɡyǒu hǎoshì fāshēnɡ, dàn zhònɡyào de shìqínɡ dōushì zài rén qīnɡxǐnɡ de shíhòu fāshēnɡ de.) 

3. The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. 

生命的奥秘不是要解决的问题,而是要经历的现实。

(shēnɡmìnɡ de àomì bùshì yào jiějué de wèntí, érshì yào jīnɡlì de xiànshí.) 

4. An animal caught in a trap will gnaw off its own leg to escape. What will you do?

被捕兽夹抓住的动物会咬断自己的腿来逃脱。你会怎么做？

(bèi bǔshòujiā jiázhù de dònɡwù huì yǎoduàn zìjǐ de tuǐ lái táotuō. nǐ huì zěnme zuò?) 

5. I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration.

我不能害怕。恐惧是心灵杀手。恐惧是带来彻底毁灭的小小死神。

(wǒ bùnénɡ hàipà. kǒnɡjù shì xīnlínɡ shāshǒu. kǒnɡjù shì dàilái chèdǐ huǐmiè de xiǎoxiǎo sǐshén.) 

6. There's something happening to me. Something waking up in my mind. I can't control it.

我这有事情发生。我意识里有什么东西正在觉醒。我控制不了它。

(wǒzhè yǒu shìqínɡ fāshēnɡ. wǒ yìshi lǐ yǒu shénme dōnɡxi zhènɡzài juéxǐnɡ. wǒ kònɡzhì bùliǎo tā.)
