我试着向父母解释,生命是一份特殊的礼物。一开始,我们高估了这份礼物,我们以为获得了永生。然后,我们又低估了它,我们发觉生命会腐败,太短暂,又想把它抛弃。最后,我们才明白生命不是一份礼物,而是一份借款。我们试着配得上生命。我,一百岁了,我知道自己在说什么。年纪越大,越懂得享受生命。我们要过得精致,富有艺术情调。 I tried to explain to my parents that life is a special gift. At the beginning, we overestimated this gift, and we thought we had eternal life. Then we underestimated it again. We found that life would be corrupt, too short, and we would want to abandon it. Finally, we understand that life is not a gift, but a loan. We try to match up with life. I, a hundred years old, I know what I’m talking about. The older, the more you know how to enjoy life. We need exquisite, full of artistic mood.
