英語美文朗讀 第556期 I do not regret when I step up

If you had one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment. Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

 

如果你有一次機會，在一瞬間之內(nèi)爭取你想要的所有東西，你會抓住這個機會嗎？還是，你會讓它白白流逝？

 

Where is the wealthiest place in the world? It's not China. It's not Dubai. It's the graveyard.

世界上最富有的地方是哪里？不是中國，不是迪拜，而是，墓地。

 

There you'll find potential never realized. There you'll find books never written. There you'll find abilities and skills and talents and GIFTS the world never had the exposure to.

在那兒，你會看到，很多沒有實現(xiàn)的潛力，很多還沒寫的書，很多這個世界從未看到過的能力、技巧、天賦、才華。

 

A lot of people die FULL. Full of their dreams, full of talent, full of ideas, full of their skills, full of intelligence and abilities, that they never reach for, they never tap, they never got into. They never used it.

有很多人，他們?nèi)ナ赖臅r候，是帶著很多東西走的。他們的身上，滿載著，自己的夢想，天賦，見解，技能，智慧，能力，這些他們從來沒有去爭取，去利用，去實現(xiàn)的東西。他們從來沒有用過這些寶貴的東西。

 

Because they were scared, to take a risk. Scared like you, but you wanna know something else? You're not in a graveyard. Yet!

因為，他們害怕，他們不敢冒險。他們，就像你一樣，很害怕。但是，你要知道，你，還活著！

 

It is not the things we do in life that we regret on our deathbed. It is the things we do not.

離開這個世界之前，讓我們感到后悔的，不是我們做過的事，而是我們沒有做過的事。

 

I do not regret when I step up and I fail. What I regret is not taking action at all.

要是我勇敢邁出了第一步，努力向前，但是失敗了，我不會后悔。讓我后悔的，是我從來沒有做出過任何行動。
