我的隐忧-My Secret Worry
My Secret Worry-我的隐忧
While fear of death is universal, my worry about death is so overwhelming that there is not a moment passing without my thinking of it. I never bring this up with any other, just because no one will ever realize the seriousness of this problem. I know it very clearly that as long as there is life, there will be death. In addition, though I am still so far away from death, I have been plagued by the thought of it for years. Fortunately, the root of my fear of death lies in my overzealous love for life. I am too timid to think of the end of life, when every worldly affair should be thrown away. How can I carry on without friendship, affection, and joy of being alive? I really hate to leave all these behind. To ease my worry about death, I should make the fullest use of this life I now possess. Concentration on this life can at least temporally make me forget about death. As a matter of fact, I really don＇t need to worry so much about death, for I already have too much to worry about this life.
虽然怕死是举世皆然，但我对死的担心是如此不可抗拒，以致于没有一刻不想到它；我从未对任何人提起，因为没有人会了解这个问题的严重性。我知道得很清楚，只要有生，就会有死；另外，我虽然我离死还很遥远，却已经被死的念头折磨多年。还好，我对死亡的恐惧根源于对生命的过份热爱，我太胆小，不敢思考生命的终点----一切尘世的事务都要抛弃。没有友情、爱情和生之喜悦，我怎么过得下去？我真的很不甘心死后遗留下这一切。若要减轻对死亡的忧虑，我应该就目前所拥有的一生做最充份的?用，全神贯注于这一生至少使我暂时忘却了死亡。其实，我实在不必这么担忧死亡，因为这一生该担忧的已经够多了。
