人之将死,其言也善:生命终结时五大遗憾

2012-12-05来源:互联网
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

"Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result."
3.我希望我能有勇气表达我的感受。

“为了与他人和平共处很多人都抑制他们的感情。因此,他们满足于平庸的存在,从来没有成为他们真正能够成为的人。许多人因为他们深藏的痛苦和仇恨而抑郁得病。”

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

"Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying."
4.我希望我能和朋友们保持联系。

“他们常常不会真的意识到老朋友的好处直到临死前的几个星期,通常不可能追踪他们。许多人因为深陷于自己的生活让黄金般的友谊随着岁月流逝而溜走。有很多人深深后悔没有给予友谊应得的时间和精力。每个人在临终的时候都会想念他们的朋友。”

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

"This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again."
5.我希望我能让自己更快乐。

“这是一个令人惊奇的常见遗憾。很多人直到最后才意识到幸福是一种选择。他们被困在旧的方式和习惯中。所谓熟悉的“舒适感”泛滥于他们的情感,以及他们的物质生活。当内心深处渴望适时大笑和在生活中再次犯傻时,对变化的恐惧让他们对他人、对自我假装满足。”

What's your greatest regret so far, and what will you set out to achieve or change before you die?
到目前为止你最大的遗憾是什么,你会在你死之前开始完成或改变吗?
