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

當(dāng)談到“人生何事最痛苦”這個(gè)話題時(shí)，人們總有不同的看法。

When you ask a 4-year-old child, he might say 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’t make things right before the one they love passes away. Or the ones they love left without saying goodbye.

當(dāng)你問(wèn)一個(gè)4歲的小孩，他可能會(huì)說(shuō)父母不給他買玩具是人生中最痛苦的事；而對(duì)于一些學(xué)生，則認(rèn)為考試不及格最痛苦。我想對(duì)于大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，最痛苦的事莫過(guò)于失去自己所愛的人。尤其是對(duì)那些在摯愛死之前沒能彌補(bǔ)一些錯(cuò)事的人們，或是那些在愛的人們離開前沒來(lái)得及說(shuō)再見的人。

From my perspective, the most painful thing in life is that you never try to do the things that you want just because you are afraid that the result may breakdown you. And this kind of things, I call it pity. As time goes by, the pain of pity become greater, because you’ll never have a second chance to try and take risks. And you’ll never know if you made a different choice, what kind of life you will have now, because everything ended with it. You have to live with pities in the rest of your life. I think that is the most painful thing. So I always convince myself, have a try for the things that I want even if I know I’m taking risks and it might make me sad. Sadness won’t last forever, but pity will.

對(duì)我而言，人生最痛苦的事莫過(guò)于你不敢去做一些你想做卻因?yàn)楹ε陆Y(jié)果會(huì)讓你崩潰而沒有做的事。這應(yīng)該叫做一種遺憾吧。隨著時(shí)間的流逝，遺憾帶來(lái)的痛苦越發(fā)明顯。因?yàn)闀r(shí)至今日，你已不再有第二次機(jī)會(huì)去冒險(xiǎn)去嘗試當(dāng)初不敢做的事。你也無(wú)從知道如果當(dāng)初選擇不同，現(xiàn)在的生活會(huì)是怎么樣的。因?yàn)樗械氖虑槎冀Y(jié)束了。你未來(lái)的生活都必須忍受著這些遺憾帶來(lái)的痛苦。我認(rèn)為這是人生中最痛苦的事。所以我常常告訴我自己，即使我知道我在冒險(xiǎn)，即使我知道結(jié)果會(huì)讓我失落傷心，也要嘗試自己想做的事。因?yàn)槭鋫目倳?huì)過(guò)去，而遺憾會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)陪伴著自己。
