But unlikely as it may seem now, these things may be transient, and should they fall from grace one day touch wood!

但是，虽然现在看来似乎不太可能，这些成就却可以是短暂的。

For when once you have perceived that end, to attain it you will throw aside all transient things, all those things which pass away with the touch of sorrow.

因为当你一旦察觉到那个终点，为了获得它，你会把所有的暂时性的事情，所有那些带着悲伤而过去的事情，扔到一旁。
