2017：那些离世的名人 那些传世的语录[1]

Here we are at the end of another calendar year -- 2017. When December rolls around, we tend to reflect on who we've lost in our own personal lives as well as those bigger-than-life mortals we affectionately call: celebrities.

岁末降至，追忆2017，我们失去了太多名人。

In tribute, we thought we would pick out a quote from each one that might elicit a laugh, a tear, a fond memory and/or a reason to never forget why their lives and legacies touched our hearts.

为缅怀旧人，我们挑选了这些离世名人的语录，或欢乐，或感动，或难忘，总有一种原因让我们难忘他们触动人心的生命和遗产。
