to 不定詞

I was given two to three weeks to live without treatment, and not necessarily a guarantee of life either way.

在沒有治療的情況下，我的生命還有兩到三週，但無論如何都不一定有保證。

過去進行式

Believe me, I was never going to be the kid that got cancer, but it turns out that I was.

相信我，我永遠不會是那個得癌症的孩子，但事實證明我就是。

And apparently the cancer was now doubling in size every 48 hours.

顯然，癌症現在每 48 小時就會擴大一倍。

You're 18 years old and you're told that you could die within weeks.

你才 18 歲，卻被告知可能在幾周內死亡。

You are told that everything you've been promised since you were a child, the house, the family, the job, might never be yours.

有人告訴你，從小到大許諾給你的一切，房子、家庭、工作，可能永遠都不會屬於你。

You're told that the next months, the laughs, the parties, the classes, the times with your friends, they will never happen because you will be in a hospital bed fighting for your life.

你被告知，接下來的幾個月，歡笑、聚會、上課、和朋友在一起的時光，這些都不會發生，因為你將躺在病床上為生命而戰。

You're told that everything that you assumed would always be yours, the things which your foundation is built upon, the times with your family, the embrace of your girlfriend, or the sunrise on your face might not be yours to feel any longer.

你被告知，你以為永遠屬於你的一切，你賴以生存的基礎，與家人在一起的時光，女友的擁抱，或你臉上的日出，可能都不再屬於你。

You're told that your time is up, if not the time that was your life, then the time when you had it easy.

有人告訴你，你的時間到了，如果不是你生命的時間到了，那就是你輕鬆的時間到了。

Now you are in an arena, fighting the biggest battle you will ever fight for the greatest prize that there is.

現在，你們在競技場上，為了最豐厚的獎賞，進行著有生以來最大的戰鬥。

Many enter that arena every day, but there is a limited number of spaces available on the other side.

每天都有很多人進入這個競技場，但另一邊的空位有限。

Instead I asked that if this was going to be the thing that killed me, that I faced it with strength.

相反，我要求自己，如果這將成為我的致命傷，我就必須堅強地面對它。

If it was going to kill me, it would do it on my terms and I would not die a coward, not wanting to let fear dictate my death any more than it had dictated my life.

如果它要殺我，就會按照我的意願來，我不會像個懦夫一樣死去，我不想讓恐懼支配我的死亡，就像恐懼支配我的生命一樣。

But no, no way, there was not a chance in hell that I was going to die of this.

但是，不，不可能，我不可能是以而死。

Along the way I learnt some pretty good lessons.

一路走來，我學到了一些很好的經驗。

I was dying to get home from school, I was dying for the weekend, I was dying for the school holidays, and then before I knew it I was dying in Christchurch hospital.

我很想放學回家，我很想過週末，我很想學校放假，然後不知不覺我就死在了基督城醫院。

And I know now how important it is to make the most of it while you can.

我現在知道，趁早充分利用它是多麼重要。

Live each day with passion and pride to your very fullest, because you are able to.

充滿激情和自豪地過好每一天，因為你有能力做到這一點。

Every morning that I wake up I know that I am on borrowed time.

每天早上醒來，我都知道自己的時間不多了。

Every day that I live is another one longer than I was supposed to, and that spurs me on.

每多活一天，我就會多活一天，這激勵著我不斷前進。

However the most important thing that this has taught me is to take each day at a time.

不過，這給我的最重要的啟示是，要一天一天地過。

Taking everything day by day allows you to focus on the now and really appreciate life.

日復一日地做好每一件事，能讓你專注於當下，真正懂得珍惜生活。

And tied in with that is the ability to find the little bits of light in the darkness, because sometimes they will be all that you have left.

與此相聯繫的，是在黑暗中尋找微光的能力，因為有時它們就是你僅有的一切。

Yes, I might have a spinal injection of chemo today, but there's something good on TV tonight.

是的，我今天可能要打脊椎化療針，但今晚電視上有好節目。

Yes, I might have my head in a sick bucket right now, but I'll never feel this sick again in my life.

是的，我現在可能把頭埋在病桶裡，但我這輩子再也不會感到這麼難受了。

Yes, it's happening to me, but it's not happening to anyone I love.

是的，這發生在我身上，但沒有發生在我愛的人身上。

It's something I remind myself of each day, and it makes every day that little bit better.

這是我每天都會提醒自己的事情，它讓我的每一天都變得更加美好。

But the thing that people are really prone to doing is to spend time on feeling sorry for people whose situations they cannot change.

但是，人們真正容易做的事情是花時間去同情那些他們無法改變其處境的人。

What you really need to do is be grateful for the people in your life, and for your ability to live that normal life.

你真正需要做的是感謝生活中的人，感謝自己能過上正常的生活。

There's no excuse to not appreciate life fully.

You owe it to the people that are unable to.

你們應該為那些無法做到這一點的人做點什麼。

You owe it to them to do them that service, to go out and do your best.

你有責任為他們服務，盡你所能。

And what a fantastic way to start each day.

這真是開始每一天的美妙方式。
