为你读英语美文 · 第454期

2022年3月，MU5375航班牵动着所有人的心，突如其来的灾难夺走了132条鲜活的生命。同年的3月，我的一位家人从确诊肝癌晚期到去世，不到一个月的时间。生命充满变化和无常，我们无法控制灾难，意外和疾病，但我们可以拥有面对这一切的勇气。当生命走到尽头，怎么样度过这一生才不会后悔？接下来，我想为你读的是Frank Sinatra的My Way.

And now, the end is near;

此刻，末日将临

And so I face the final curtain.

我将面临人生落幕

My friend, I'll say it clear,

朋友，我将知无不言

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

向你讲述我所铭记的经历

I've lived a life that's full.

我度过了充实的一生

I've traveled each and every highway;

历经无数坎坷

And more, much more than this,

更重要的是

I did it my way.

用我自己的方式

Regrets, I've had a few;

遗憾总是存在

But then again, too few to mention.

细细回想，不值一提

I did what I had to do，

我做了一切该做的事

And saw it through without exemption.

只为心安，不求赦免

I planned each charted course;

我规划了每一段人生

Each careful step along the byway,

谨慎执着，步步思量

But more, much more than this,

然而并不止于此

I did it my way.

我用我自己的方式

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

你知道的，有些时候

When I bit off more than I could chew.

我曾背负不能承受之重

But through it all, when there was doubt,

自始至终，即使满心困惑

I ate it up and spit it out.

我还是克服并战胜了它

I faced it all and I stood tall;

挺直身躯，勇敢面对

And did it my way.

用我自己的方式

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.

我曾爱过，哭过，笑过

I've had my fill; my share of losing.

曾经满足，也曾经失落

And now, as tears subside,

如今，悲哀粉碎

I find it all so amusing.

我发现一切竟如此自然

To think I did all that;

想到我做过的一切

And may I say - not in a shy way,

我可以毫不羞愧的说

"Oh no, oh no not me,

我从未虚度生活

I did it my way".

并用我自己的方式成就了它

For what is a man, what has he got?

何为完人，我们又拥有什么?

If not himself, then he has naught.

除却此身，别无他物

To say the things he truly feels;

自然吐露感情

And not the words of one who kneels.

而不是虚伪谄媚

The record shows I took the blows

时间证明，历尽磨难

And did it my way

我做到了

Yes, it was my way

竭尽所能，完成我的人生。

每天，我都会告诉自己当生命走到尽头，自己最在意的关系和最有价值的时刻是什么，时刻记住自己的最终目的。解决每一个问题，寻找最好的方案，挑战新的事情，并且长期坚持，我的人生由我自己决定。I did my way.
