Unit 18 A Lesson in Philosophy 哲學課一則
Why worry?
何必憂慮呢?
Really, you have only two things to worry about—either you are sick or you are well.
真的,你只有兩件事要擔心,你不是會生病就是身體健康。
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.
如果你身體健康,那么就沒什么好擔心的。如果生病的話,只要擔憂兩件事,你不是康復就是死亡。
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!
如果你康復的話,什么也不必擔心。如果不幸死亡的話,你只要擔心兩件事,你不是上天堂就是下地獄。
如果上天堂,什么也不需要你擔憂。要是下地獄的話,你會忙著和老朋友握手寒暄,連擔憂事情的時間都沒有!
