Description

我们的节目也可以讨论这样哲学的主题。

wǒ men | de | jié mù | yě | kě yǐ | tǎo lùn | zhè yàng | zhé xué | de | zhǔ tí

Our program can also discuss such philosophical topics.


我喜欢做这个播客节目的原因之一,

wǒ | xǐ huān | zuò | zhè ge | bō kè | jié mù | de | yuán yīn | zhī yī

One of the reasons I love making this podcast


是我可以畅所欲言,

shì | wǒ | kě yǐ | chàng suǒ yù yán

is that I can speak freely—


没有人限制我应该讲什么话题,

méi yǒu | rén | xiàn zhì | wǒ | yīng gāi | jiǎng | shén me | huà tí

no one restricts what topics I should talk about.


我可以讲任何我看的书,

wǒ | kě yǐ | jiǎng | rèn hé | wǒ | kàn | de | shū

I can talk about any books I’ve read,


我的哲学思考。

wǒ | de | zhé xué | sī kǎo

and my philosophical thoughts.


那么今天,我们就来聊聊人生的意义。

nà me | jīn tiān | wǒ men | jiù | lái | liáo liáo | rén shēng | de | yì yì

So today, let’s talk about the meaning of life.


人生没有意义,

rén shēng | méi yǒu | yì yì

Life has no inherent meaning—


意义也许是自己赋予的,

yì yì | yě xǔ | shì | zì jǐ | fù yǔ | de

the meaning is perhaps bestowed by oneself.


你人生的意义是改变世界,

nǐ | rén shēng | de | yì yì | shì | gǎi biàn | shì jiè

For you, the meaning of life may be changing the world;


他人生的意义是享受生活,

tā | rén shēng | de | yì yì | shì | xiǎng shòu | shēng huó

for him, it may be enjoying life;


我人生的意义是探索真理。

wǒ | rén shēng | de | yì yì | shì | tàn suǒ | zhēn lǐ

for me, it may be exploring the truth.


人们说,人生如戏,

rén men | shuō | rén shēng | rú | xì

People say life is like a play,


人生就像一场电影,

rén shēng | jiù xiàng | yī chǎng | diàn yǐng

and life is like a movie.


你既不是编剧,

nǐ | jì | bù shì | biān jù

You are neither the screenwriter,


也不是导演,

yě | bù shì | dǎo yǎn

nor the director—


只是一个按照剧本演的角色。

zhǐ shì | yī gè | àn zhào | jù běn | yǎn | de | jué sè

you are just an actor following the script.


在我上大学的时候,

zài | wǒ | shàng | dà xué | de | shí hou

When I was at university,


有一次一个名人来学校演讲,

yǒu | yī cì | yī gè | míng rén | lái | xué xiào | yǎn jiǎng

a celebrity came to give a lecture at the school.


他认为人生的意义就是体验。

tā | rèn wéi | rén shēng | de | yì yì | jiù shì | tǐ yàn

He believed that the meaning of life is experience.


这么多年过去,

zhè me | duō nián | guò qù | le

After all these years,


我觉得他说得对,

wǒ | jué de | tā | shuō de | duì

I think he was right.


我们来体验各种情感,

wǒ men | lái | tǐ yàn | gè zhǒng | qíng gǎn

We come to experience all kinds of emotions,


体验各种人际关系,

tǐ yàn | gè zhǒng | rén jì | guān xì

all kinds of interpersonal relationships,


体验各种美食、美景,

tǐ yàn | gè zhǒng | měi shí | měi jǐng

all kinds of delicious food and beautiful scenery,


体验情侣二人世界,

tǐ yàn | qíng lǚ | èr rén | shì jiè

the world of being a couple,


体验生养孩子,

tǐ yàn | shēng yǎng | hái zi

having and raising children,


体验面对离别和死亡。

tǐ yàn | miàn duì | lí bié | hé | sǐ wáng

and facing separation and death.


在经济繁荣的时候,

zài | jīng jì | fán róng | de | shí hou

During periods of economic prosperity,


大多数人努力赚钱,

dà duō shù | rén | nǔ lì | zhuàn qián

most people work hard to make money,


疯狂消费,

fēng kuáng | xiāo fèi

spend wildly,


觉得自己很厉害。

jué de | zì jǐ | hěn | lì hài

and feel very accomplished.


而在像如今这样经济萧条的时候,

ér | zài | xiàng | rú jīn | zhè yàng | jīng jì | xiāo tiáo | de | shí hou

But in times of economic recession like now,


很多的行业都赚不到钱了,

hěn duō | de | háng yè | dōu | zhuàn bù dào | qián | le

many industries can no longer make money,


就有越来越多的人意识到,

jiù | yǒu | yuè lái yuè duō | de | rén | yì shí | dào

and more and more people realize that


要快乐地生活,

yào | kuài lè | de | shēng huó

They should live happily,


也不必要去在乎别人的评价。

yě | bù bì yào | qù | zài hu | bié rén | de | píng jià

there’s no need to care about others’ evaluations.


有个视频博主讲的话被广泛认可,

yǒu | gè | shì pín | bó zhǔ | jiǎng | de | huà | bèi | guǎng fàn | rèn kě

A video blogger’s words have been widely recognized.


她说:

tā | shuō

She said:


“你这辈子无论怎么过、怎么活,

“nǐ | zhè bèi zi | wú lùn | zěn me | guò | zěn me | huó

‘No matter how you live your life,


都不重要。


你一生只有三万天,


放在历史的长河中,


你连沙子都不是,


你爸爸的爸爸的爸爸是谁,


你知道吗?


就跟没来过这个世上一样的。


再过一百年,你也是这个样子。


我们不要把生活想得那么沉重,


人来到世上这趟就是来玩的,


玩累了,然后就回去躺着了。


你会死,你身边的人都会死,


你在意的那些事情终有一天都会消失的。”
