我曾经爱过esther那些记忆永远是我的一部分。但过去是过去，现在是现在。

I loved her and those memories will always be a part of me, but that was then and this is now.

所以问题是，能否把过去放在一边，还是传统以某种修整过的形式永远持续下去，改动，积累，丢弃，但永远是那个以不同形式组合着的过去？

So the question is, can the past be put aside or does a modified form of tradition continue for ever, changing, accumulating, discarding, but always the past in different combinations?

我曾经以为我已经从过去的阴影走出来了，但现在才发现原来过去仍影响着自己，这种伤痛就像疟疾，或者，永远是一种打击。

To believe you have cured yourself of the past and then to discover that its ill effects continue, that its pains recur like malaria-that, perhaps, is always a shock.
