Three Days to live

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 how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours.

I speak,of course,of free men who have a choice,

not condemned cri- minals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.

Such stories set us thinking,

wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.

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 regrets?

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.

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.

There are those,of course,

who would adopt the epicurean motto of'Eat,drink,and be merry,'

but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.

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 often been noted that those who live,or have lived,

in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.

【篇二】譯文

假如我有三天的時(shí)光

大家都讀過(guò)一些扣人心弦的故事，

里面的主人公只有一點(diǎn)有限的時(shí)間可以活了，

有時(shí)長(zhǎng)達(dá)一年，有時(shí)短到只有24小時(shí)。

然而，我們總是能感動(dòng)地發(fā)現(xiàn)，

這些注定要死亡的人是如何想辦法度過(guò)他后的幾天或后的幾小時(shí)。

當(dāng)然，我所說(shuō)的是有選擇的自由人，

而不是活動(dòng)范圍受到限制的被判刑的罪犯。

這類(lèi)故事使人們思索，

很想知道我們?cè)谕瑯拥木硾r下將會(huì)怎么辦。

我們會(huì)充滿(mǎn)什么樣的遭遇，什么樣的感受，什么樣的聯(lián)想

作為必死的生物，處在這幾小時(shí)內(nèi)。

我們回顧往事，會(huì)找到哪些幸福，哪些遺憾呢？

有時(shí)我認(rèn)為，好的規(guī)則就是

我們像明天就會(huì)死去那樣生活。

這樣一種態(tài)度可以尖銳地強(qiáng)調(diào)生命的價(jià)值。

我們每天都應(yīng)該懷著友善，

朝氣和渴望去生活，

這些品質(zhì)往往會(huì)喪失，

當(dāng)時(shí)間在我們面前不斷地延伸開(kāi)去，

日復(fù)一日，月復(fù)一月，年復(fù)一年。

當(dāng)然，也有那些人

愿意把"吃吧，喝吧，及時(shí)行樂(lè)吧"作為座右銘的人，

然而大多數(shù)人卻為死神的來(lái)臨所折磨。

在許多故事中，

命運(yùn)已定的主人公通常在后一分鐘，由于遭遇好運(yùn)而得到拯救，

然而他的價(jià)值觀(guān)念幾乎總是改變了。

他更加領(lǐng)悟了生命

及其永恒的精神價(jià)值的意義。

常�？梢钥吹�，那些活在或者曾經(jīng)活在

死亡陰影中的人們，對(duì)他們所做的每件事情都賦予了一種醇美香甜之感。
