Is "funnel" supposed to be "funeral"?

<p>I've been trying to get the Chinese word with meaning of the phrase</p>
<blockquote>
<p>endure and move on.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It has something to do with a break up with a girlfriend and wanting to endure it and move on. I've tried googling it and found the following. (This is also how I found this website.) I just want to know if I got the right translation. Here's what I found:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>忍和想开</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here's my questions: 1. Is this the right right translation? 2. Do I really need to put the 和 (&quot;and&quot;) in the middle or is there no need for that?</p>
<hr />
<p>To be honest, I'll have it tattooed in my arm. That's why I'm trying to keep it as short as possible, but of course I want to have the correct message of the tattoo. Also, my father is pure Chinese but he was naturalized in our country since 1980's. That's why I want to have it in Chinese characters. (It will add more meaning to the tattoo.) Sadly, I can no longer speak to him and that's why I have to ask this question here, and I didn't study in a Chinese school.</p>

If it's the whole thing you want to translate -- 1. it's grammatical, but sounds non-native; 2. yes, you need 和 in the middle. But there's some subtle difference between the English and Chinese phrases, if I didn't get it wrong, "endure and move on" means "bear the pain and continue the life"; but 想开 means "let go", once you 想开, you don't have to bear any pain, you just get over the pain, so it means you don't have to 忍 any more. "忍和想开" doesn't quite make sense to me.

It's often better to provide the whole English sentence for translation. As divergent as the two language can go, a phrase-to-phrase translation is often less than pragmatic.

What I can get is "忍受悲伤, 继续前行". But as username_1 said, if you move on, you usually put away your sorrows, or 抛却悲伤 instead.
