温馨夜读 PART1 01 Is It Worth It? 是否值得

[00:02.09]The Earthly Treasure 尘世之贵 [00:07.43]In the deep winter, natural flowers tend to shrivel; [00:11.70]while, the flowers of friendship and love stand to bloom fragrantly, [00:16.43]as a consequence of watered love. [00:19.47]Is It Worth It? 是否值得 [00:26.61]Horror gripped the heart of the World War I soldier [00:30.52]as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. [00:34.60]Caught in a trench with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, [00:39.08]the soldier asked his lieutenant if he might go out into the “No Man’s Land” [00:44.55]between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade back. [00:48.60]“You can go,” said the Lieutenant, “but I don’t think it will be worth it. [00:54.18]Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.” [00:59.22]The Lieutenant’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway. [01:03.81]Miraculously he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder, [01:09.83]and brought him back to their company’s trench. [01:12.67]As the two of them tumbled in together to the bottom of the trench, [01:16.72]the officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend. [01:22.08]“I told you it wouldn’t be worth it,” he said. [01:25.84]“Your friend is dead, and you are mortally wounded.” [01:29.63]“It was worth it, though, sir,”the soldier said. [01:33.90]“How do you mean ‘worth it’?”responded the Lieutenant.“Your friend is dead!” [01:41.12]“Yes sir," the private answered. [01:44.15]“But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive, [01:49.00]and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, [01:52.24]‘Jim, I knew you’d come.’” [01:54.90]Many a time in life, [01:57.60]whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it. [02:02.78]Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do [02:07.98]so that you may not regret not doing it later in life.
