Can you translate please


Recommended Posts

I rather like this saying

"When you come to last page, close the book"

Is there a way of representing this in 4 chinese characters

Thanks

I have no idea how to say it, but I was thinking that it's similar in sentiment to the line "Begin at the Beginning and Go on till You Come to the End: Then Stop." If you can get a translation of Through the Looking Glass, maybe that would help?

I guess the Chinese version of this would be

天下没有不散的宴席

or

曲终人散

if you insist on four Chinese characters.

What exactly does "When you come to last page, close the book" mean?
