English to Chinese:

Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much, we feel so little. (D. H. Lawrence )*

Chinese to English:

人生难得几回醉, 不欢更何待。

Idioms:

The police don't worry about some petty crimes as they have bigger fish to fry.

 

* David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English writer and poet. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. Lawrence's writing explores issues such as sexuality, emotional health, vitality, spontaneity, and instinct. His novels include Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover.

 

附: 部分网友给出的有趣翻译:

Indulgence is hard to come by,  Away don’t you let it fly

英译中:我们的时代,浮识泛滥,真知匮乏。

中译英:Life is too short to not have fun.

造句:During its IPO, the company postponed some projects, since they have a bigger fish to fry.

我们的时代是一个过度意识的时代。我们知道的太多,我们的感觉太少。

How many chances to get drunk of entire life? enjoy now, don't wait. 

警察才懒得管这些小偷小摸, 他们有的是大案要办.

英译中:我们的时代极其虚幻:人们好像知之甚广,但真知却很匮乏。

It's hard to be drunk in our lives,so let us enjoy it.

It's still rare in life to get excessively drunk for even several times, so please enjoy the sober drinking fun before it is too late.

1.我们正处在一个过度有意识的时代,我们了解的太多而感受的太少。

2. It is very hard to have such occasion to indulge oneself without bond,so just enjoy the moment.

3. 警察根本不关心这些小偷小摸,因为他们有要务在身。

这是一个过分重视识觉的年代,我们的认知如此之深广,我们的感知如此之浅薄。

Life is too short to be anything but happy.  ---Karl Marx

America needed to get out of Afghanistan as it had bigger fish to fry.
