《锦瑟》（唐代李商隐诗作）：作者在诗中追忆了自己的青春年华，伤感自己不幸的遭遇，寄托了悲慨、愤懑的心情，大量借用庄生梦蝶、杜鹃啼血、沧海珠泪、良玉生烟等典故，采用比兴手法，运用联想与想象，把听觉的感受，转化为视觉形象，以片段意象的组合，创造朦胧的境界，从而借助可视可感的诗歌形象来传达其真挚浓烈而又幽约深曲的深思。全诗词藻华美，含蓄深沉，情真意长，感人至深。

The Sad Zither
Li Shangyin
Why should the sad zither have fifty strings？
Each string, each strain evokes but vanished springs;
Dim morning dream to be a butterfly;
Amorous heart poured out in cuckoo's cry.
In moonlight pearls see tears in mermaid's eyes;
With sunburned mirth let blue jade vaporize.
Such feeling cannot be recalled again;
It seemed long lost e'en when it was felt then.
Sail
/seɪl/航行，起航
We are taking two months off to sail the Caribbean.我们要请两个月假去加勒比海航行。

If you were to tell me about it, I would probably say to you: "Sorry. But that train has already left the station. You must go on that date."
如果你告诉我这件事，我可能会对你说：“对不起，但为时已晚，你必须得去赴约。”
Usually when we use "that train has left the station" or "that ship has sailed" it means events are going forward and you can't stop them.
通常，当我们用“that train has left the station”或“that ship has sailed”时，它的意思是事情正在向前发展，你无法阻止它们。
Now, here is a note on usage.
以下是对该用法的说明。
Simply put, these sayings mean, "It's too late. So, save your breath."
简单地说，这些谚语的意思是：“太晚了，所以省省力气吧。”
So, they could sound rude or thoughtless. And they are informal.
因此，它们可能听起来无礼或不顾及他人。而且它们是非正式表达。
So, I would say them to a friend and co-worker.
所以，我会对朋友和同事这么说。
But I wouldn't say them to my boss or my professor—although it was his fault that I missed my train in the first place!
