And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.

Then I announced that those who have already died are happier than those who are still alive.

And I thought the dead who are already dead more fortunate than the living who are still alive.

So I concluded that the dead are better off than the living.

So I commended the dead, who have already died, more than the living, who are still alive.

So I congratulated the dead who are already dead, more than the living who are still living.

Therefore I praised the dead who were already dead, More than the living who are still alive.

Wherefore I praised the dead that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive;

So I admired the dead, who have already died, more than the living, who are still alive.

Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.

So I considered those who are dead and gone more fortunate than those who are still alive.

Therefore I praised the dead who have been long dead more than the living who are yet alive.

所以，我憎惡生命，因為在日光之下所做的一切都令我愁煩。唉！這一切都是虛空，都是捕風。

「為何我不出生時就夭折，出母胎時就斷氣？為何要把我抱在膝上，用乳汁哺育我？不然我早已安然躺臥、長眠安息，與世上的君王和謀臣作伴——他們建造的宮殿已荒廢，與房屋堆滿金銀的王侯同眠。為何我沒有像未見天日就流產的嬰兒一樣消逝？那裡，惡人不再攪擾，疲憊者得到安息，被囚者得到安寧，聽不見監工的斥責。尊貴與卑賤的人都在那裡，奴僕不再受主人的轄制。「為何賜光給受苦的人，賜生命給心靈痛苦的人？他們等候死亡卻等不到，他們求死勝於求寶藏。他們歸入墳墓時非常快樂，欣喜若狂。為何賜生命給前路渺茫、被上帝圍困的人？我以歎息為食，呻吟如水湧流。我害怕的事發生了，我恐懼的事來臨了。我不得安寧，不得平靜，不得安息，只有苦難。」

有生命就有希望，一條活狗總比一頭死獅子強。因為活著的人還知道自己終有一死，但死了的人什麼都不知道，再也得不到任何賞賜，他們被忘得一乾二淨。他們的愛、恨和嫉妒早已不復存在，他們再也無法參與日光之下的事。
