all good things (must) come to an end Explanation: “天下没有不散的筵席”（天下无不散的筵席）是离别时一句安慰的说话。表示世间上没有不解散的聚会，团聚相对分离，能团聚是缘分，分离也是必然经历的。这不是说这句话隐含的是好的事情，而是说话的人用乐观的心情或者角度看待离别这个事情，暗示在一起度过了愉快的时光（have had a good time）。 https://dictionary.cambridge.org/zhs/%E8%AF%8D%E5%85%B8/%E8%8B%B1%E8%AF%AD-%E6%B1%89%E8%AF%AD-%E7%B9%81%E4%BD%93/all-good-things-must-come-t https://www.ourchinastory.com/zh/2327/%E5%A4%A9%E4%B8%8B%E7%84%A1%E4%B8%8D%E6%95%A3%E7%9A%84%E7%AD%B5%E5%B8%AD |
