Three friends arrive at the Pearly Gates at the same time. As part of their orientation to heaven, St. Peter asks what kind of remarks they would most like to hear from their family and friends at their
funerals.
三个朋友同时到达了天国门,圣彼得问在他们的葬礼上最想听到家人和朋友说什么话。
“I would like to hear them say I was a great doctor and a good family man,” said the first.
“我想听他们说我是个了不起的医生和顾家的好人。”第一个人说。
“I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and that, during my career as a schoolteacher, I made a difference in my lives,” chimed in the second fellow.
“我想听他们说我是个了不起的丈夫,还有在做小学老师的生涯中,我做了不同凡响的事情。”第二个人说。
“Those both sound terrific,” replied the third, “but I’d like to hear them say, ‘Look! He’s moving!’”
“他们两个人说的听起来很不错,”第三个人回答说,“但我想听到他们说:‘瞧!他在动呢!’”
