These are roughly 28,835 Jelly Beans. I counted out five hundred of them, and used those to weigh the rest. In this pile, there's one Jelly Bean for each day that the average American will live. You might have more beans in your life, or maybe less, but on average, this is the time we have.
這些大約是28,835顆雷根糖。我數出其中五百顆,用那些去估測剩下的份量。在這一堆,一顆雷根糖代表一般美國人會過的每一天。在你的人生中也許會有更多顆糖,或也許更少,但平均來說,這是我們擁有的時間。
Here's a single bean. It's your very first day. A special day, but kind of a rough day on everyone involved. Add 364 more and you have the first year of your life.
這是一顆糖。是你的第一天。特別的一天,但對其他參與者來說是有點難熬的一天。再加上364顆,你就有人生中的第一年。
Now for a sense of scale, here are your first fifteen years: 5,475 days, which brings us to the threshold of adulthood. And at that moment, this is the time that we have left. And this is, on average, what we will do with all that time:
現在用比例的概念,這裡是你第一個十五年:5,475天,那將我們帶到成年期的門檻。在這時候,這是我們所剩下的時間。而這是,平均來說,我們會用那所有時間做的事:
We'll be asleep for a total of 8,477 days. If we're lucky, some of that time we'll be sleeping next to someone we love.
我們會有總共8,477個日子是睡著的。如果我們很幸運,其中有些時間我們會睡在某個我們所愛的人旁邊。
We'll be in the process of eating, drinking, or preparing food for 1,635 days.
我們會有1,635個日子是在吃、喝、或是準備食物的過程中。
We'll be at work, hopefully doing something satisfying for the equivalent of 3,202 of those days.
我們會有相當於3,202個那些日子,是在工作中,希望是做一些令人滿意的事。
1,099 days will be spent commuting or travelling from one place to another, maybe a little bit more if you live in LA.
1,099天會被用在通勤或從一個地方旅行到另一處,可能會多一點點,如果你住在洛杉磯的話。
On average we'll watch television in one form or another for a total of 2,676 days.
平均來看我們會有總共2,676個日子,是以一種或是其他形式看電視。
Household activities, like chores and tending to our pets and shopping will take another 1,576 days.
家務活動,像是家事和照顧我們的寵物以及購物會佔去另外1,576個日子。
And we'll care for the needs and well-being of others, our friends and family, for 564 days.

We'll spend 671 days bathing, grooming, and doing all other bathroom related activities.

And another 720 days will go to community activities like religious and civic duties, charities, and taking classes.
另外的720天會花在社區活動,像是宗教及公民義務、慈善活動、和上課。
After we remove all those beans, this is what remains. This is the time that we have left. Time for laughing, swimming, making art, going on hikes, text messages, reading, checking facebook, playing softball, maybe even teaching yourself how to play the guitar.
在我們移除所有這些糖之後,這是剩下的東西。這是我們剩下的時間。用來笑、游泳、創作藝術、健行、傳簡訊、閱讀、查看臉書、打壘球、也許甚至教你自己怎麼彈吉他的時間。
So what are you gonna do with this time? How much of it do you think you've already used up?
所以你要用這個時間做什麼?你覺得你已經用掉其中多少了?
If you only had half of it, what would you do differently? What about half of that?
如果你只有它的一半,你會做什麼不一樣的事?那再一半呢?
How much time have you already spent worrying instead of doing something that you love?
你已經花了多少時間去擔心而不是去做某件你喜愛的事?
What if you just had one more day? What are you gonna do today?
如果你只有再多一天呢?你今天要做什麼?
