Hello,

Could you you please translate this for me.

"life goes on"

in the meaning of "look forward", not the spiritual meaning after death.

thank you very much!

來者可追

or the whole phrase

逝者已矣，來者可追。

The saying comes from Confucius' Analects:

往者不可諫，來者猶可追。

thank you very much.

so the first phrase has already the entire meaning in it?

somebody also told me this:

生活继续吧

what's the difference???

Yes.

That is a crude literal translation. It doesn't work.
