登高望远：climb的用法小结

Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love: illusions. Only the ladder is real; the climb is all there is.

——Game of Thrones

混乱不是深渊。混乱是阶梯。很多人想往上爬，却失败了，且永无机会再试。他们坠落而亡。有些人本有机会攀爬，但他们拒绝了。他们守着王国，守着诸神，守着爱情——尽皆幻象。唯有阶梯真实存在，攀爬才是生活的全部。

——《权力的游戏》
