All good things come to an end.

【聯合報╱執筆／台科大應用外語系助理教授 黃玟 君】2009/06/21  

這句諺語直譯是「所有美好的事物都會結束」，意思是感嘆天下無不散之筵席，再好的朋友、再美的時光，都有曲終人散的時候。這句諺語也可說成：Everything has an end.及Everything comes to an end.。

最近又到了鳳凰花開、驪歌響起的季節，相信很多人在過去幾年的國中、高中、大學生涯裡，都有許多美好的回憶，不僅增長了智識，也結交了朋友，然而all good things come to an end，這是永遠不變的道理。要記得畢業並不代表學業的結束，而是邁向另一個里程碑的開始，希望大家互相勉勵：百尺竿頭，更進一步，讓我們各自奔向光明的前程！

B:But we also won two championships in sports competitions, and we participated in the drama contest.

A:I really don't want to graduate. I wish we could all go to the same college.
