'Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die' nghĩa là hãy cứ vui vẻ, hạnh phúc bất kì khi nào có thể, vì dù gì cái chết cũng đến thôi (enjoy yourself whenever you can, because you may die soon).
Ví dụ
Rather than referring to the medium, ukiyo-e has a particular cultural resonance (vang vọng) that can be likened to the Persian poetry of Omar Khayyam or the old English adage “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” It invokes (gợi đến) the transitory (ngắn ngủi, phù du) nature of life, while emphasizing the need to gather our rosebuds (nụ hồng) while we may.
Oscar Wilde wrote that “work is the curse of the drinking classes”, but let’s not berate (nhiếc móc) people for their lifestyle choices once that “curse” has been lifted. “Moderation in all things” is another famous quote – but so is “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.”
Americans are behaving like people subconsciously (tiềm thức) obeying the dictum (lời nhận xét, lời bình), “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die,” but since the first two will kill you, we are pouring all of our inchoate fears into being merry. The civil-rights movement turned the white conscience into the eighth wonder of the world, a marble colossus that loomed over cocktail parties and transformed swizzle sticks into tridents of the heart.
