人生中最痛苦的事The Greatest Pain in Life

When it comes to the topic “What is thegreatest pain in life?” People always take different views on that question.

当谈到“人生何事最痛苦”这个话题时，人们总有不同的看法。

When you ask a 4-year-old child, he mightsay the greatest pain is that his parents refuse to buy him the toys. For some students,failing the exams is the most painful thing. And I think for most people,losing the one they love is the greatest pain. Especially for those who can’tmake things right before the one they love passes away. Or the ones they loveleft without saying goodbye.

当你问一个4岁的小孩，他可能会说父母不给他买玩具是人生中最痛苦的事；而对于一些学生，则认为考试不及格最痛苦。我想对于大多数人来说，最痛苦的事莫过于失去自己所爱的人。尤其是对那些在挚爱死之前没能弥补一些错事的人们，或是那些在爱的人们离开前没来得及说再见的人。

From my perspective, the most painful thingin life is that you never try to do the things that you want just because youare afraid that the result may breakdown you. And this kind of things, I callit pity. As time goes by, the pain of pity become greater, because you’ll neverhave a second chance to try and take risks. And you’ll never know if you made adifferent choice, what kind of life you will have now, because everything endedwith it. You have to live with pities in the rest of your life. I think that isthe most painful thing. So I always convince myself, have a try for the things thatI want even if I know I’m taking risks and it might make me sad. Sadness won’tlast forever, but pity will.

对我而言，人生最痛苦的事莫过于你不敢去做一些你想做却因为害怕结果会让你崩溃而没有做的事。这应该叫做一种遗憾吧。随着时间的流逝，遗憾带来的痛苦越发明显。因为时至今日，你已不再有第二次机会去冒险去尝试当初不敢做的事。你也无从知道如果当初选择不同，现在的生活会是怎么样的。因为所有的事情都结束了。你未来的生活都必须忍受着这些遗憾带来的痛苦。我认为这是人生中最痛苦的事。所以我常常告诉我自己，即使我知道我在冒险，即使我知道结果会让我失落伤心，也要尝试自己想做的事。因为失落伤心总会过去，而遗憾会永远陪伴着自己。
