課文中英文講解
One day, a 35-year-old woman was walking down the street when she suddenly had a heart attack and fell to the sidewalk. An ambulance was called, and she was rushed to the hospital. On the way, she had a near-death experience and found herself standing in front of God. Upon seeing Him, she timidly asked, “Am I really dead?”
有一天一位三十五岁的妇女走在路上，突然心脏病发作昏倒在人行道上。有人叫了救护车，把她紧急送到医院。途中她经历了一次频死经验，发现自己站在上帝面前。一看到祂，她胆怯的问:「我真的死了吗?」
God replied, “No. Your time on earth isn’t up yet. You still have a long life ahead of you. You will live for another 67 years, so now, you must return to the world of mortals.”
上帝回答她:「不，你阳寿未尽，你还有很长一段人生要过，会再多活67年，所以妳现在必须回到凡间。」
The woman then came to in the hospital, relieved not to be dead. She decided then and there to make the most of the long life she had left. As soon as she left the hospital, she went out and got liposuction and a face-lift. She also bought new, stylish and trendy clothes and dyed and permed her hair. However, a week later, when the woman was crossing the road, a bus ran a red light and hit the woman, killing her.
随后妇女在医院醒了过来，发现自己没有死而松了一口气，便当场决定要好好过她剩余的漫长人生。她一离开医院就去做了整形和抽脂手术，也买了新款流行服饰，并染烫了头发。但是一周后，一辆闯红灯的公交车把正在过马路的她给撞死了。
Finding herself in front of God again, she boldly asked Him, “Why am I dead? You said that I would live for another 67 years! Why didn’t you save me from that bus?” God replied, “I would have, but I didn’t recognized you.”
再度站在上帝面前时，她大胆地问祂:「我为什么死了?您说我还可以再活67年!为什么您没有把我从那场车祸中救出来?」上帝回答:「我本来会的但是我没认出来那是妳啊。」
