doomed 命定的
Three Days to See All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year,sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak,of course,of free men who have a choice,not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited. Such stories set us thinking,wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events,what experiences,what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past,what regrets?
假如給我三天光明（節(jié)選） 我們都讀過震撼人心的故事，故事中的主人公只能再活一段很有限的時光，有時長達一年，有時卻短至一日。但我們總是想要知道，注定要離世人的會選擇如何度過自己最后的時光。當(dāng)然，我說的是那些有選擇權(quán)利的自由人，而不是那些活動范圍受到嚴(yán)格限定的死囚。 這樣的故事讓我們思考，在類似的處境下，我們該做些什么？作為終有一死的人，在臨終前的幾個小時內(nèi)我們應(yīng)該做什么事，經(jīng)歷些什么或做哪些聯(lián)想？回憶往昔，什么使我們開心快樂？什么又使我們悔恨不已？
