and this is what Mozart says about death.

下面是他在信中写到的对死亡的看法
"Death is the true goal of our lives

"死亡是生命的真正目的
and I have made myself so well acquainted with it during the past two years

在过去的两年里我对此深有体会
that I see it as the true and best friend of mankind.

因此我将死亡视作人类最真诚的朋友
Indeed, the idea of it no longer holds any terror for me

这样的想法让我对死亡再也没有了恐惧
but rather much that is tranquil and comforting,

取而代之的是安宁和欣慰
and I thank God that he has granted me the good fortune

我感激上帝赐予我如此觉悟
to obtain the opportunity of regarding death

让我有幸明白
as the key to our true happiness.

死亡是通往真正幸福之路
I never retire at night without considering that,

我在每个夜晚从未厌倦地思考
as young as I am,

如我一般年轻
perhaps I may be no more on the morrow,

也许明天我再也不会醒来
