这篇难,都翻译错了。

We are going to die, and that makes us the  lucky ones.

Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born.

The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never  see the light of day outnumber the sand  grains of Sahara.

Certainly those unborn ghosts include  greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton.

We know this because the set of possible  people allowed by our DNA so massively  outnumbers the set of actual people.

In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is  you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

We privileged few, who won the lottery of  birth against all odds, how dare we whine  at our inevitable return to that prior state  from which the vast majority have never  stirred?
