They 're just figments of the imagination .

它们只是想像出的虚构事物。

Before nocturne , people believed that dreams were figments of their imaginations , meaningless images that flashed through the mind when one slept .

在"夜曲"出现之前，人们总是认为梦境只是虚构的想像，以及一些在睡前闪过脑海的图像罢了。

When they approach me they see only my surroundings , themselves , or figments of their imagination --- indeed , everything and anything except me .

当人们走近我，他们只看到我周围的东西、他们自己和他们凭空想象出来的事物实际上，是除我以外的任何东西。

But are these dark figures typical or figments of a fecund imagination ?

可是，这些阴暗的人物是典型的，还是人们遐想出来的呢？

If I could have been there before like I should have , then maybe she would have never faded away , like the rest of the figments of my life .

如果我能像我之前已经应该存在，那么也许她就不会消失，就像是我生命中虚构的其余部分。
