曾经有一份真挚的感情摆在我面前,我没有珍惜,失去了才追悔莫及……如果要给这份感情一个期限,我希望是,有生之年。

There was a sincere love in front of me once, but I did not cherish it. So when I lost it, it has too late to regret…… If someone can give this emotion a time limitation, I hope it's for the rest of my life.

丨词源/The Origin of the Phrase

一般认为,“有生之年”一词出自清代李汝珍所著《镜花缘》第68回:“俾臣得保蚁命,此后有生之年,莫非主上所赐,惟求格外垂怜。”指一生之中最后的年月,即余年。

Generally, "for the rest of one’s life" is a word from the 68th chapter of The Marriage of Flowers in the Mirror, which refers to one’s remaining years.

后来,“有生之年”逐渐入侵了二次元。最早让“有生之年”在圈内流行的可能是日本同人社团舞风2008年推出的动画《梦想夏乡》,由于同人团体的财力物力有限,这部动画直到2012年才推出了系列的第二集,被戏称为“奥运番”。

Later, the phrase "for the rest of one’s life" gradually appeared in the anime-world. The earliest "for the rest of one’s life" was popular may be because of Maikaze, a Japanese colleagues societies, launched the animation "Musou Kakyou" in 2008. However, their financial resources and material resources were limited; this animation launched the series of second episodes until 2012, dubbed as the "Olympic series".

粉丝们纷纷感叹:我要好好养生,才能在有生之年看完一季。

Fans of this animation all signed with emotion: "I need to keep in good health in order to watch the whole Season."

丨释义/Interpretation

“有生之年”用来形容一部作品粉丝们等了很长时间,终于“在有生之年”看到更新了,形容等的时间长。

动漫界是有生之年系列的重灾区。一部动漫作品被归入“有生之年系列”大致源于两个原因,一个是由于动漫作者的匠(quan)心(qian)精神,完全不想让动漫有完结的意思,情节被一再延长,虽然故事有明确的主线,但剧情却始终在走支线。比如已经更新至900多集的某死亡小学生系列动漫。(什么?我都上大学了这货居然还是个小学生?)

"For the rest of one’s life" used to describe a work, which makes the fans have been waiting for a long time, and finally seeing its update in their lifetime, so it is to describe a long waiting time.

The field of Comic and animation is always along with "for the rest of one’s life". An anime that classified into "the rest of life series" generally comes from two reasons, one is the author do not want to end the anime. Therefore, the plot was repeated and extended. Although there is a clear story line, but the plot is always in the subfield line. For example, the one that has updated to more than 900 episodes…… Ah? I already went to college, but he is still a pupil and investigates case every day.

另一个原因是由于作者更新过慢,或者故事情节展开过大,导致动漫作品烂尾。一直以来,在日本动漫界存在四大坑的说法——《五星物语》、《强殖装甲》、《剑风传奇》、《暗黑破坏神》。这些神番或脑洞清奇,或世界观恢弘,但它们都因为一个共同的理由被世人所铭记——有生之年你怕是看不到结局了。

Another reason is that the author updates the animation so slow, or the story described a very large world, all leading to the works cannot be finished. There are four works of Japan's animation are seemed to be "for the rest of one’s life"—— "The Five Star Stories", "Guyver", "Berserk" and "Diablo". They are remembered because you might not be able to see the end of whichever in your life.

而在电子游戏领域,同样存在着一个跳票神话——《永远的毁灭公爵》,这部号称史上跳票时间最长的游戏,前后历时14年的才在反复转手之后,最终确定由2K GAMES在2011年发行。

In the field of electronic games, there is also a bouncing myth —— "Duke Nukem Forever". It is known as the longest time in the history of the bounced games, and it took 14 years for being transferred again and again, ultimately determine its issue by 2K GAMES in 2011.

据统计,在《永远的毁灭公爵》跳票期间,“最终幻想”系列发售了96款游戏,4部电影,3部动画,1部OVA:“GTA”系列发售了14款游戏:“塞尔达传说”系列发售了16款游戏:“模拟人生”系列发售了17款游戏。

在《永远的毁灭公爵》跳票期间,洛克人主题游戏发售了75款;星球大战主题游戏发售了50款;马里奥主题游戏发售了56款。

在《永远的毁灭公爵》跳票期间,发生过7次日全食和7次月全食;美国发射了30次航天飞机。

在《永远的毁灭公爵》跳票期间,有大约5亿人死去,6亿6千万人诞生。

According to statistics, during the bounced period of "Duke Nukem Forever", “The Final Fantasy” series issued 96 games, 4 films, 3 animated and 1 OVA; "GTA" series released 14 games; "the Legend of Zelda” series released 16 games; “The Sims” series issued 17 games.

……

据说,当这个游戏正式发售的时候,粉丝们热泪盈眶,甚至痛苦流涕,不是因为游戏的优良品质而感动,只是因为他们想起了13年前去世的朋友……

It is said that when the game, "Duke Nukem Forever", is released, fans are in tears, even cry bitterly. It is not for the excellent quality of the game or they are moved, just because they think of a friend who died 13 years ago......

丨用法/Usage

在二次元领域以外,有生之年也可以表达人生目标、未遂心愿等含义。比如——

Beyond the anime-world, "for the rest of one’s life" also can be used to express goals, attempts, and wishes that are not achieved. For example ——

Your cell phone is locked and can't be unlocked for the rest of your life.
