一、来自你身体的一封信

Hi! It's your body here!

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

嗨，我是你的身体

!

允许我再自我介绍一下。

I'm the home that you've always lived in.

Surely you remember.

We grew up together!

我是你一直住着的“家”。

你肯定记得我，

我们一起长大的。

And I'm writing in this letter cause,

I feel neglected in this relationship,

very disappointed in what I've been seeing.

我写这封信是因为，

我感觉我在这段关系里被忽视了。

我对我所看到的很失望。

With your ambition to make money

you sacrificed my well being,

which makes no sense in the least

because when I get sick

you sacrificed that same money

to recuperate ME.

你有想挣钱的雄心，

却为此牺牲我的健康。

这完全不合理，

因为如果我病了，

你赚的那些钱都要用来给我治病

!

And what's even more ironic

is with all your interest in profit

you can't even see the truth

that I'm worth over A BILLION DOLLARS.

更讽刺的是，

你利欲熏心，

甚至看不清这个事实：

我才是最宝贵的啊

!

Don't believe me?

Okay I'll prove it.

你不相信

?

好吧，我证明给你看。

If someone came to you

with a check for One Million

and said “Here.

All I want in

return is your eyesight.”

如果有 人拿着

100

万的支票来找你，

他说：“给你，作为交换，

我想要你的视觉。”

You will never be able to see another sunset

for the rest of your natural life.

Would you take that deal?

你将在余生里再也看不到夕阳，

这样的交易你愿意吗

?

Ok, let's up the bid.

好吧，让我们把赌注加大

Suppose he had a check for Ten Million instead,

And if you accepted

you would no longer have use of your arms or legs.

Would you take THAT deal?

假设他有一张千万的支票，

如果你接受了，

你将再也无法使用四肢。

你要交换吗

?

I can answer that for you.

NO.

我可以替你回答。

NO

。

Those are silly options because you know that

as your body I am worth over a BILLION DOLLARS.

这都是一些很愚蠢的选择，

因为我的价值远不止于此。

And don't get me started with the heart.

If I was a company, right?

This Heart wouldn't get Employee of the Month.

It would get the Employee of the LIFE!

别让我提心脏了。

如果我是一间公司，

心脏不会得到“月度最佳员工”称号。

它要得到的是“终身最佳员工”。

Because throughout your entire existence as a person,

your heart never stops working!

因为在你的一生里，

你的心脏从未停止工作

!

Even when you're sleeping

it doesn't stop beating,

that's EVERY SECOND

EVERY MINUTE

EVERY DAY

and come to think of it

I can't recall you ever saying Thanks.
