英语美文朗读 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?

 

如果你有一次机会，在一瞬间之内争取你想要的所有东西，你会抓住这个机会吗？还是，你会让它白白流逝？

 

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？不是中国，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.

在那儿，你会看到，很多没有实现的潜力，很多还没写的书，很多这个世界从未看到过的能力、技巧、天赋、才华。

 

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，他们去世的时候，是带着很多东西走的。他们的身上，满载着，自己的梦想，天赋，见解，技能，智慧，能力，这些他们从来没有去争取，去利用，去实现的东西。他们从来没有用过这些宝贵的东西。

 

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

因为，他们害怕，他们不敢冒险。他们，就像你一样，很害怕。但是，你要知道，你，还活着！

 

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

离开这个世界之前，让我们感到后悔的，不是我们做过的事，而是我们没有做过的事。

 

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

要是我勇敢迈出了第一步，努力向前，但是失败了，我不会后悔。让我后悔的，是我从来没有做出过任何行动。
