昆德拉:完全沒有負擔使人變得輕浮如空氣、縹緲入高空，離開大地和塵世、變得虛假，自由得微不足道

Kundera: the heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But … the heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of a burden causes a man to be lighter than air, to soar into the heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant.

昆德拉: 重負摧毀我們，我們因它沉降、它把我們釘在地上。但是……負擔越重，我們的生命就越貼近大地、就越真實。相反，完全沒有負擔使人變得輕浮如空氣、縹緲入高空，離開大地和塵世、變得虛假，自由得微不足道。
