找誰(shuí)倚靠—我們都是有故事的人(慢速) 人生中最美好的時(shí)光

[00:14]The best time of my life [00:17]It was June 15, and in two days I would be turning thirty. [00:24]I was insecure about entering a new decade of my life and feared that my best years were now behind me. [00:34]My daily routine included going to the gym for a workout before going to work. [00:42]Every morning I would see my friend Nicholas at the gym. He was seventy-nine years old and in terrific shape. [00:53]As I greeted Nicholas on this particular day, he noticed I wasn’t full of my usual vitality and asked if there was anything wrong. [01:05]I told him I was feeling anxious about turning thirty. [01:11]I wondered how I would look back on my life once I reached Nicholas’s age, [01:18]so I asked him, “What was the best time of your life?” [01:25]Without hesitation, Nicholas replied, “Well, Joe, this is my philosophical answer to your philosophical question.” [01:39]“When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me and I was nurtured by my parents, that was the best time of my life. [01:54]“When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best time of my life. [02:05]“When I got my first job and had responsibilities and got paid for my efforts, that was the best time of my life. [02:17]“When I met my wife and fell in love, that was the best time of my life. [02:26]“The Second World War came, and my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives. [02:36]When we were together and safe on a ship bound for North America, that was the best time of my life. [02:47]“When we came to Canada and started a family, that was the best time of my life. [02:56]“When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life. [03:06]“And now, Joe, I am seventy-nine years old. I have my health, I feel good and I am in love with my wife just as I was when we first met. [03:23]This is the best time of my life.”
