be turned to dust

焚骨扬灰───be turned to dust

The worst part of it is that lots of those authors have names much more famous than yours will ever be and they are making money centuries after they themselves have already turned to dust.───最坏的事是他们中的很多人，现在比你有名，将来也还是，他们化为灰尘以后也会在几个世纪里挣更多的钱。

Most of us would rather be charred to ashes from over-excitement than turned to dust a failure before our time.───我们中大多数人宁愿过分兴奋而被烧成灰烬，而不愿在我们这个时代面前，转变方向以抹去(dust)失败的灰尘。

But in fact are the same, the final is to be turned into human dust, gone, gone, gone.───但其实都一样，最后都是要化为人间的尘土，消失了，不见了，没有了。
