留美老师带你每日说英文 第803期:关于死亡的思考(在线收听

   台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:

  Thinking about death has made me a more present human being because it's a constant reminder that tomorrow is not a guarantee. It makes me want to be a more compassionate and giving person because when you're confronted with the idea of your own mortality you have to ask yourself: like, what mark do I want to leave on this world?
  常常思考死亡让我更懂得活在当下,因为这样做可以不断提醒自己:未必会有明天。这让我变得更慈悲,也更懂得付出,因为每当你想到自己的生命有限,你就不得不扪心自问:我想在这个世界留下什么?
