What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets? •这样的故事让我们思考，在类似的处境下，我们该做些什么？作为终有一死的人，在临终前的几个小时内我们应该做什么事，经历些什么或做哪些联想？回忆往昔，什么使我们开心快乐？什么又使我们悔恨不已？ •Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life. •然而，我们中的大多数人都把生命看成是理所当然的。
我们知道有一天我们必将面对死亡，但总认为那一天还在遥远的将来当我们身强体健之时，死亡简直不可想象，我们很少考虑到它日子多得好像没有尽头因此我们一味忙于琐事，几乎意识不到我们对待生活的冷漠态度 •The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.•我担心同样的冷漠也存在于我们对自己官能和意识的运用上。
