2022年3月,MU5375航班牵动着所有人的心,突如其来的灾难夺走了132条鲜活的生命。同年的3月,我的一位家人从确诊肝癌晚期到去世,不到一个月的时间。生命充满变化和无常,我们无法控制灾难,意外和疾病,但我们可以拥有面对这一切的勇气。当生命走到尽头,怎么样度过这一生才不会后悔?接下来,我想为你读的是Frank Sinatra的My Way.
And now, the end is near;
此刻,末日将临
And so I face the final curtain.
我将面临人生落幕
My friend, I'll say it clear,
朋友,我将知无不言
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
向你讲述我所铭记的经历
I've lived a life that's full.
我度过了充实的一生
I've traveled each and every highway;
历经无数坎坷
And more, much more than this,
更重要的是
I did it my way.
用我自己的方式
Regrets, I've had a few;
遗憾总是存在
But then again, too few to mention.
细细回想,不值一提
I did what I had to do,
我做了一切该做的事
And saw it through without exemption.
只为心安,不求赦免
I planned each charted course;
我规划了每一段人生
Each careful step along the byway,
谨慎执着,步步思量
But more, much more than this,
然而并不止于此
I did it my way.
我用我自己的方式
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
你知道的,有些时候
When I bit off more than I could chew.
我曾背负不能承受之重
But through it all, when there was doubt,
自始至终,即使满心困惑
I ate it up and spit it out.
我还是克服并战胜了它
I faced it all and I stood tall;
挺直身躯,勇敢面对
And did it my way.
用我自己的方式
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
我曾爱过,哭过,笑过
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
曾经满足,也曾经失落
And now, as tears subside,
如今,悲哀粉碎
I find it all so amusing.
我发现一切竟如此自然
To think I did all that;
想到我做过的一切
And may I say - not in a shy way,
我可以毫不羞愧的说
"Oh no, oh no not me,
我从未虚度生活
I did it my way".
并用我自己的方式成就了它
For what is a man, what has he got?
何为完人,我们又拥有什么?
If not himself, then he has naught.
除却此身,别无他物
To say the things he truly feels;
自然吐露感情
And not the words of one who kneels.
而不是虚伪谄媚
The record shows I took the blows
时间证明,历尽磨难
And did it my way
我做到了
Yes, it was my way
竭尽所能,完成我的人生。
每天,我都会告诉自己当生命走到尽头,自己最在意的关系和最有价值的时刻是什么,时刻记住自己的最终目的。解决每一个问题,寻找最好的方案,挑战新的事情,并且长期坚持,我的人生由我自己决定。I did my way.
