Unit 18 A Lesson in Philosophy 哲学课一则
Why worry?
何必忧虑呢?
Really, you have only two things to worry about—either you are sick or you are well.
真的,你只有两件事要担心,你不是会生病就是身体健康。
If you are well, you have nothing to worry about, and if you are sick, you have only two things to worry about—either you get well or you die.
如果你身体健康,那么就没什么好担心的。如果生病的话,只要担忧两件事,你不是康复就是死亡。
If you get well, you have nothing to worry about, and if yo die, you have only two things to worry about—either you go to heaven or you go to hell. If you go to heaven, you have nothing to worry about, and if you go to hell... You’ll be so busy shaking hands with old friends, you won’t have time to worry!
如果你康复的话,什么也不必担心。如果不幸死亡的话,你只要担心两件事,你不是上天堂就是下地狱。
如果上天堂,什么也不需要你担忧。要是下地狱的话,你会忙着和老朋友握手寒暄,连担忧事情的时间都没有!
