翻译成英语： 眼睛一闭一睁一天儿过去了 眼睛一闭不睁一辈子过去了。

这个问题问得好，有创意。

The eyes close but never open - all life has gone.

if you close your eyes and open the next day , a day has passed;if you close your eyes and never open again,the whole life has passed.

A day passes with your eyes close and open, while a life passes with your eyes close and never open again.

Days flow away with your eyes close and open and when you never open your eyes after you closed it that means your whole life has gone.
