「从网上看得,乔布斯与病魔抗争8年,临终前发出了这样的感慨。未曾考究是否确实,不过觉得内容很值得一读,试译如下。」
商业上,我已达成功的顶峰。
在别人看来,我的人生就是成功的象征。
但是,除了工作,我没有欢乐。最终,我的财富只是一个事实,我已习以为常。
此刻,躺在病床上,回想我这一生,我意识到,所有的荣誉、财富,我曾经那么引以为自豪,面对即将来临的死亡,一切都变得微不足道。
黑暗中,我眼盯着机器上的那些绿灯,耳听着呼吸机的吡吡声,感觉到死亡气息正笼罩着我。
现在我才明白,一旦你的金钱足于度过余生,你得去追求与财富无关的目标。
那些更重要的东西:
比如,爱情,艺术,童年的梦想。
不,不要再追求财富了,那只会让人扭曲,变得行尸走肉,就像我一样。
上帝如此塑造我们,让我们能感受到每个人心中的爱,而不是由财富,或名誉带来的虚幻,如我一生所求,那都是带不走的。
我唯一能带走的,是爱强化的记忆。
这才是真正的财富,它会跟随你,陪伴你,给你力量,照亮你前行。
爱能传千里,生命无极限。走吧,去你想去的地方。努力吧,去实现你想要的目标。一切都源于你的内心,一切都掌握在你的手中。
世界上什么床最贵? “医院的病床”。
你,如果有钱,可以雇人为你开车,可是,你不可能让别人替你生病。
物质的东西,失去了可以再挣。但有一样东西,一旦失去就永远无法找回: “生命”。
此时,无论我们处在人生的什么阶段,末了,我们终将面对落幕的那一天。
请珍爱你的家人,爱你的配偶,爱你的朋友...
善待自己,珍爱他人。

I have come to the pinnacle of success in business. In the eyes of others, my life has been the symbol of success.
However, apart... from work, I have little joy. Finally, my wealth is simply a fact to which I am accustomed.
At this time, lying on the hospital bed and remembering all my life, I realize that all the accolades and riches of which I was once so proud, have become insignificant with my imminent death.
In the dark, when I look at green lights, of the equipment for artificial respiration and feel the buzz of their mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of my approaching death looming over me.
Only now do I understand that once you accumulate enough money for the rest of your life, you have to pursue objectives that are not related to wealth.
It should be something more important:
For example, stories of love, art, dreams of my childhood.
No, stop pursuing wealth, it can only make a person into a twisted being, just like me.
God has made us one way, we can feel the love in the heart of each of us, and not illusions built by fame or money, like I made in my life, I cannot take them with me.
I can only take with me the memories that were strengthened by love.
This is the true wealth that will follow you; will accompany you, he will give strength and light to go ahead.
Love can travel thousands of miles and so life has no limits. Move to where you want to go. Strive to reach the goals you want to achieve. Everything is in your heart and in your hands.
What is the world's most expensive bed? The hospital bed.
You, if you have money, you can hire someone to drive your car, but you cannot hire someone to take your illness that is killing you.
Material things lost can be found. But one thing you can never find when you lose: life.
Whatever stage of life where we are right now, at the end we will have to face the day when the curtain falls.
Please treasure your family love, love for your spouse, love for your friends...
Treat everyone well and stay friendly with your neighbours.

翻译,应该是传递truth的隧道和桥梁,如果翻译的东西本身为假,就没有什么价值了。
