我们已经徒增年岁,却未能充分利用生命!

We’ve added years to life, but not life to years! “

这里省略了第二个 ADD
完整的句子是  We¡¯ve added years to life, but have not added life to years! ¡°

LIFE 意思是有意义的生活

翻译 :我们一年年的老去,但是并没有随着年龄的增长做出很多让人回忆的事情。

准确地翻译应该是这样:

"我们的寿命越来越长,但有意义的生活并未因此而延长"


这句话是一个演讲稿中的一句话, 题目是:What life is about !

整段句子是这样的:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; we buy more but enjoy them less. We’ve learnt how to make a living but not a life, we’ve added years to life, but not life to years. And it is time for us to choose whether to make a difference in our life.

在生活的长河中也常常令我们困惑和矛盾,我们拥有越来越高大的建筑,但我们也越来越缺乏耐心;我们购买的物质越来越多,但我们从中得到的快乐越来越少。我们学习如何活着但那却不是生活;人类的寿命越来越长,但有意义的生活并因此而延长。因此,现在正是我们选择使我们的人生变得不同凡响的时候了。
