"墓誌銘"的英文為epitaph

/ˈɛpɪtɑːf,ˈɛpɪtaf/
noun
a phrase or form of words written in memory of a person who has died, especially as an inscription on a tombstone.

Boswell's The Life of Johnso中，Johnson 解釋為何墓誌銘須採用穩定的語言，即拉丁文來書寫。然而，為了方便溝通，了解，使用譯文也可以。

"Oliver Goldsmith: A Poet, Naturalist, and Historian, who left scarcely any style of writing untouched, and touched nothing that he did not adorn. Of all the passions, whether smiles were to move or tears, a powerful yet gentle master. In genius, vivid, versatile, sublime. In style, clear, elevated, elegant."
Johnson: Epitaph for Oliver Goldsmith. (The original is in Latin.)

"The Dean of Wall Street"
有意思的是，該文給胡適下的不朽處，竟不是胡先生的三不朽（楊聯陞先生在給《陳世驤選集》作序敬輓，就是用胡適的話來破題的，該文功力不凡），或是像我們在《華爾街大老》(The Dean of Wall Street)中了解的，傳主 Benjamin Graham的墓誌銘是刻了丁尼生詩歌Ulysses 的句子--他與胡適都極喜愛此詩。（詳《努力、探尋、發現、永不退讓、不屈服》）

當然，也有墓誌銘採用墓主一生最得意的學術發現，如某經濟學定律 (數學式等)。

現在，更多人的墓碑上沒有墓誌銘，如2021年8月1日過世的余英時先生。

德國安德希斯
Kloster Andechs是德國非常知名的修道院，出產的啤酒跟優格跟奶製品暢銷全德國。
這裡也是《布蘭詩歌》作曲者Carl Orff的長眠地。墓誌銘：SUMMUS FINIS，拉丁文，德文翻譯：das höchste Ziel，中文翻譯：最崇高的目標。

字面義，SUMMUS FINIS可能雙關：highest end......

陳映真的父親為自己寫的墓誌銘：這裡睡著一個無可隱而隱的老人。(參見陳映真的〈父親〉(2000)，收入《父親》陳映真散文集1，台北：洪範，2004，頁150，

這篇感人至深，雖然忘了這位老人的姓名。

2009/12
Paul Samuelson, R.I.P.
Oh, my. Paul Samuelson has died. He had a long, good life; yet he will be sorely missed.


The Latin phrase "Requiescat in pace" (singular) or "Requiescant in pace" (plural) is a short epitaph that typically appears on headstones, often abbreviated "RIP" which is then often given in English as Rest in peace. The expression means "may he / she rest in peace" (singular) or "may they rest in peace" (plural) as the Latin verb is used in the optative sense.[1] It is commonly found on the grave of Catholics,[2] as it is derived from the burial service of the Roman Catholic church, in which the following prayer was said at the commencement and conclusion:[3]
“Anima eius et animae omnium fidelium defunctorum per Dei misericordiam requiescant in pace

In “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968), which he co-wrote with Stanley Kubrick, ape-man evolved into Star Child.
His epitaph for himself would have well suited man as he wanted him to be. “He never grew up; but he never stopped growing.”
