In a little while, my longing shall gather dust and foam for another body.

再过一会儿，我的渴望就要为另一个躯体聚集尘土与泡沫。

The idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

这样做是为了让人们不要自私，不要把书放在家里的书架上积灰尘。

Some bikes never get much riding. Mostly they gather dust.

一些自行车都没骑多少次，大部分时间都放在那里吸尘。

They gather dust and take up space. They also lose and acquire meaning over time.

它们积累了灰尘，占用了空间，也会随着时间增长而消于无形，由此获得了存在的意义。

It is not a book that you pick up, read from cover to cover, and then put on a shelf to gather dust.

它并不是一本适合随便拾起，翻翻之后便搁置在书架上聚集灰尘的书。
