First of all , i am incredibly grateful for life , but i don’t want to be immortal ， i have no interest in having my name live on after me. I love being in sync with the cyclical rhythms of the universe。That ‘s what’s so extraordinary about life:it’s a cycle of generation ,degeneration ,regeneration.”I” am just a collection of particles that is arranged into this pattern , then will decompose and be available, all of its constituent parts , to nature, to reorganize into another pattern .To me ,that is so exciting , and it makes me even more grateful to be part of that process. You know, I look at death now from the point of view of a German biologist, who looks at it as part of the gift economy. You’re given this enormous gift – life ,you enrich it as best you can ,and then you give it back .And , you know ,Auntie Mame said ,”Life is a banquet” – well, I’ve eaten my fill. I have had an enormous appetite for life . I’ve consumed life ,but in death ,I’m going to be consumed.I’m going into the ground just the way i am , and there ,I invite every microbe and detritus-er and decomposer to have their fill – I think they’ll find me delicious. I do.

首先，我非常感激生命，但我不想永垂不朽，我对千古留名没有兴趣。我喜欢与宇宙的周期性节奏同步这就是生命的非凡之处：它是一个新生的循环、退化、再生的周期。“我”只是一个排列成这种模式的粒子集合，然后将分解并可用于自然界的所有组成部分，以重组成另一种模式。对我来说，这太令人兴奋了，这让我更加感激能参与到这个过程中来。你知道，我现在从一位德国生物学家的角度看待死亡，他将死亡视为礼物经济的一部分。你被给予了这个巨大的礼物——生命，你尽你所能地丰富它，然后还回去。而且，你知道，有人说，“生命是一场宴会”——嗯，我已经享受了。我对生活有着巨大的欲望。我享受了生命，但在死亡中，我将被享用。我正以我原本的样子入土为安，在那里，我邀请每一个微生物、碎屑和分解者去享用我——我想他们会发现我很美味。我想我是这么认为的。

So the best thing about my attitude ,I think is that it’s real.You can see it. You can observe it.It actually happens. Well ,maybe not my enriching the gift,I don’t about that but my life has certainly been enriched by other people .By TED , which introduced me to a whole network of people who have enriched my life. And I am so grateful to you .I don’t want to say ,”the audience ,” because I don’t really see it as we’re two separate things .I think of it in terms of quantum physics ,again.And ,you know ,quantum physicists are not exactly sure what happens, when the wave becomes a particle .There are different theories, but they’re all agree on one thing :that reality comes into being through an interaction. So do you .And every audience I’ve ever had, past and present .Thank you so much for making my life real.
所以，关于我态度最棒的事情，我认为这一切是真实的。你可以看到。你可以观察它。这实实在在的发生了。嗯，可能没有丰富的礼物，我不知道，但我的生命肯定被其他人丰富了。通过TED，我认识了一群朋友，他们使我生活丰富多彩。同时我也非常感谢你。我不想说“观众”，因为我并不认为我们有什么不同。我再次从量子物理学的角度来看待它。而且，你知道的，量子物理学不完全确定，当波变成粒子时会发生什么。有不同的理论，但他们都同意一件事：现实是通过相互作用形成的。你也是。我曾经的每一位观众，过去和现在。非常感谢你让我的生活变得真实。
