A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
死亡和死亡
Death And Dying
If noble death be virtue's chiefest part, We above all men are by Fortune blest, Striving with freedom's crown to honor Greece, we died, and here in endless glory rest.
如果崇高的死亡是美德的最主要部分，那么我们比所有人都更幸运，我们带着自由的皇冠为希腊而奋斗，我们死了，在无尽的荣耀中安息。
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
在我看来，如果你或我必须在两种思想或行动之间做出选择，我们应该记住我们的死亡，并努力活着，使我们的死亡不会给世界带来快乐。
God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.
上帝并没有在我们不再相信个人神的那一天死去，而是在我们的生命不再受到每天不断更新的奇迹之光的照耀的那一天死去，而奇迹的源泉是没有任何理由的。
According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.
根据大多数研究，人们最害怕的是公开演讲。第二个是死亡。死亡是第二位的。听起来对吗?这意味着，对于一般人来说，如果你去参加一个葬礼，你最好躺在棺材里，而不是做悼词。
