1、Three Days to SeeThree Days to See Three Days to SeeThree Days to See All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours. But always we were interested in discovering just

2、how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited. 我們都讀過震撼人心的故事，故事中的主人公只給再活一段很 有限的時(shí)光，有時(shí)長達(dá)一年，有時(shí)卻短至一日。但我們總是想 要知道，注定將要離世的人會(huì)選擇如何度過自己最后的時(shí)光。 當(dāng)然，我說的是那些有選擇權(quán)利的自由人，而不是那些活動(dòng)范

What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what reg

4、rets? 這樣的故事讓我們思考，在類似的處境下，我們?cè)撟鲂┦裁茨兀?作為終有一死的人，在臨終的幾個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)我們?cè)撟鍪裁词?、?jīng) 歷些什么或做哪些聯(lián)想？回憶往昔，什么使我們開心快樂？什 么又使我們悔恨不已？ Three Days to SeeThree Days to See Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life.

5、We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. 有時(shí)我想，把每天都當(dāng)作生命中的最后一天來過，也不失為一 個(gè)極好的生活法則。這種態(tài)度會(huì)使人格外重視生命的價(jià)值。我 們每天都應(yīng)該以優(yōu)雅的姿態(tài)、充沛的精力、抱著感恩之心來生 活。但當(dāng)時(shí)間以無休止的日、月

6、和年在我們面前流逝時(shí)，我們 卻常常沒有了這種感覺。 Three Days to SeeThree Days to See In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has ofte

7、n been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do. 在故事中，將死的主人公通常都在最后一刻因突降的幸運(yùn)而獲 救，但他的價(jià)值觀通常都會(huì)改變，他變的更加理解生命的意義 及永恒的精神價(jià)值。我們常常注意到，那些生活在或曾經(jīng)生活 在死亡陰影下的人無論做什么都會(huì)感到幸福。 Three Days to SeeThree Days to See Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only t

But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears tak

9、e in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill. 只有聾子才理解聽力的重要，只有盲人才明白視覺的可貴。這 尤其適用于那些成年后才失去視力和聽力的人。但是那些從未 受過喪失視力或聽力之苦的人很少充分利用這些高貴的

10、能力。 他們的眼睛和耳朵模糊地感受著周圍的景物與聲音，心不在焉， 也無所感激。這正如我們只有在失去才懂得珍惜一樣，我們只 有生病后才意識(shí)到健康的可貴。 Three Days to SeeThree Days to See I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound. 我經(jīng)常想，如果每個(gè)人在年輕的時(shí)候都有幾天失明失聰，也不 失為一件幸事。黑暗將使他更加感激光明，寂靜將告訴他聲音 的美妙。 Live each day as if we should die tomorrow.
