【ted演讲稿集-1】

    Now I want to share with you 3 things I learned about myself that day.

    现在我想和你们分享那天我所学到的三件事。

    I leant that it all changes in an instant. We have this bucket list, we have these things we want to do in life, and I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to that I didn042t, all the fences I wanted to mend, all the experiences I wanted to have and I never did. As I thought about that later on, I came up with a saying, which is, "collect bad wines". Because if the wine is ready and the person is there, I042m opening it. I no longer want to postpone anything in life. And that urgency, that purpose, has really changed my life.

    在那一瞬间内，一切都改变了。我们的人生目标清单，那些我们想做的事，所有那些我想联络却没有联络的人，那些我想修补的围墙，人际关系，所有我想经历却没有经历的事。之后我回想那些事，我想到一句话，那就是，"我收藏的酒都很差。" 因为如果酒已成熟，分享对象也有，我早就把把酒打开了。我不想再把生命中的任何事延后，这种紧迫感、目标性改变了我的生命。

    The second thing I learnt that day - and this is as we clear the George Washington bridge, which was by not a lot - I thought about, wow, I really feel one real regret, I042ve lived a good life. In my own humanity and mistaked, I042ve tired to get better at everything I tried. But in my humanity, I also allow my ego to get in. And I regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter with people that matter. And I thought about my relationship with my wife, my friends, with people. And after, as I reflected on that, I decided to eliminate negative energy from my life. It042s not perfect, but it042s a lot better. I042ve not had a fight with my wife in 2 years. It feels great. I no longer try to be right; I choose to be happy.

    那天我学到的第二件事是，正当我们通过乔治华盛顿大桥，那也没过多久，我想，哇，我有一件真正后悔的事。虽然我有人性缺点，也犯了些错，但我生活得其实不错。我试着把每件事做得更好。但因为人性，我难免有些自我中心，我后悔竟然花了许多时间，和生命中重要的人讨论那些不重要的事。我想到我和妻子、朋友及人们的关系，之后，回想这件事时，我决定除掉我人生中的负面情绪。还没完全做到，但确实好多了。过去两年我从未和妻子吵架，感觉很好，我不再尝试争论对错，我选择快乐。

    The third thing I learned - and this042s as you mental clock starts going, "15, 14, 13." You can see the water coming. I042m saying, "Please blow up." I don042t want this thing to break in 20 pieces like you042ve seen in those documentaries. And as we042re coming down, I had a sense of, wow, dying is not scary. It042s almost like we042ve been preparing for it our whole lives .But it was very sad. I didn042t want to go. I love my life. And that sadness really framed in one thought, which is, I only wish for one thing. I only wish I could see my kids grow up.

    我所学到的第三件事是，当你脑中的始终开始倒数"15，14，13"，看到水开始涌入，心想，"拜托爆炸吧!" 我不希望这东西碎成20片，就像纪录片中看到的那样。当我们逐渐下沉，我突然感觉到，哇，死亡并不可怕，就像是我们一生一直在为此做准备，但很令人悲伤。我不想就这样离开，我热爱我的生命。这个悲伤的主要来源是，我只期待一件事，我只希望能看到孩子长大。

    About a month later, I was at a performance by my daugter - first-grade, not much artistic talent... yet. And I 042m balling, I042m crying, like a little kid. And it made all the sense in the world to me. I realized at that point by connecting those two dots, that the only thing that matters in my life is being a great dad. Above all, above all, the only goal I have in life is to be a good dad.

    一个月后，我参加女儿的表演，她一年级，没什么艺术天份，就算如此。我泪流满面，像个孩子，这让我的世界重新有了意义。当当时我意识到，将这两件事连接起来，其实我生命中唯一重要的事，就是成为一个好父亲，比任何事都重要，比任何事都重要，我人生中唯一的目标就是做个好父亲。

    I was given the gift of a miracle, of not dying that day. I was given another gift, which was to be able to see into the future and come back and live differently.

    那天我经历了一个奇迹，我活下來了。我还得到另一个启示，像是看见自己的未来再回來，改变自己的人生。

    I challenge you guys that are flying today, imagine the same thing happens on your plane - and please don042t - but imagine, and how would you change? What would you get done that you042re waiting to get done because you think you042ll be here forever? How would you change your relationtships and the negative energy in them? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can?

    我鼓励今天要坐飞机的各位，想像如果你坐的飞机出了同样的事，最好不要-但想像一下，你会如何改变?有什么是你想做却没做的，因为你觉得你有其它机会做它?你会如何改变你的人际关系，不再如此负面?最重要的是，你是否尽力成为一个好父母?

    Thank you.
