莫里面对生命终结的无畏给人以启发,让我更加珍惜自己的生命。
In fact. far from being a book about death, it's a book about life
事实上,这完全不是一本关于死亡的书,而是一本关于生命的书。
As Morrie says. "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."
正如莫里所说:“一旦你学会了如何面对死亡,也就懂得了如何活着。”
As Morrie anticipates his own death, he observes everything as though through new eyes-the
things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings
当莫里预见自己的死亡时,他用新的眼光观察一切事物 -仿佛他周围的事物比以往任何时
候都更美好,并拥有新的意义。
From his window, he watches each season change, knowing it could be his last
从窗外望去,他看着四季更迭,心中明白这可能是他最后的时光
This encourages us to appreciate what we have, and to make the most of each day
这激励我们珍惜我们所拥有的,并充分利用每一天。

· Despite its widespread recognition, my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just
made up of a collection of over- emotional thoughts and messages, many of which are repeated
尽管它得到了广泛认可,但我对它的第一印象是,《相约星期二》只是由一堆过度情绪化的想
法和信息组成的,其中很多都是重复的。
But thinking back. it did teach me a lesson or two
