Do you know that you're missing a character? And since this is in a question form, then I must say I'm sorry and I don't mean to offend them, but I don't think any of them got it right.
The saying they are refering to is 天ä¸ç¡ä¸æ£ä¹å®´å¸ï¼
The saying can be directly translated as:
There would never be an unfinished meal.
Sort of like that, well, it's used when friends or relatives leave the country or something, just so that you can't see tham that often. You can say that you miss them, but 天ä¸ç¡ä¸æ£ä¹å®´å¸, and that you hope to see them in the future again. It's called for when you see someone you are close to off to another country or a place far away.
Everybody knows that you can't translate Chinese word for word into English, nor vice versa, so I would reccomend this:
Life has always been like this: There has never been a greeting without a goodbye?A start of a sentence without a period (full-stop) at the end, be it that you are separted by distance or by death...
Yours is in a question form, so you can do something like this:
Where would there be a greeting without a goodbye?...
And things like that. And remember to add a question mark!
