以下是一些来自《Jack's Long Summer》（杰克的悠长夏天）的摘抄：

1. "Life is like a game of chess, Jack. You have to be strategic and patient. And sometimes, you just have to let the pieces fall where they may."

生活就像一盘国际象棋，杰克。你必须策略性强，有耐心。有时候，你只需要让棋子自然落下。

2. "The summer was long and lazy, filled with sunsets and long walks on the beach. But it was also filled with secrets and fears, and sometimes, even with sorrow."

夏天漫长而悠闲，充满了日落和漫长的海滩散步。但夏天也充满了秘密、恐惧，有时甚至悲伤。

3. "I thought I knew everything about my father, but Jack showed me a side of him I had never seen before. A side that was kind and gentle, and full of love."

我以为我了解我的父亲的一切，但杰克让我看到了他之前从未见过的另一面。一个温柔、充满爱的面。

4. "Sometimes, we have to let go of our dreams, Jack. Not because they are not important, but because they are not realistic. And life is too short to waste on things that can never be."

有时候，我们必须放弃我们的梦想，杰克。不是因为它们不重要，而是因为它们不现实。生活太短暂，不能浪费在那些永远无法实现的事情上。

5. "We all have our burdens, Jack. But the most important thing is to learn to carry them with grace and dignity. And to never let them define who we are."

我们都有自己的负担，杰克。但最重要的是学会优雅和有尊严地承担它们。永远不要让它们定义我们是谁。
