What Will Matter
何為重要
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
不管你是否有所準備,某天一切都會走到盡頭。不再有日出,沒有白天,沒有小時或分鐘。所有你得到的東西,無論珍藏的還是被遺忘的,都會傳給別人。
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
你的財產、名譽和一時的權力變得無關緊要。你曾擁有的和你被虧欠的已經不再重要。
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.
你的怨恨、憤恨、挫敗及妒忌會最終消失。
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
同樣,你的希望、雄心、計劃和工作表都將宣告終止。過去看得很重的輸贏漸漸消失殆盡。
It won't matter where you come from, or on what side of the tracks you lived.
你來自何方,你曾經選擇的生活軌跡已經不再重要。
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.
你過去是否漂亮動人已不再重要。你的性別、膚色和種族已無關緊要。
