Not Dead Yet | 我还没死

English Original

A young man fell into a coma but regained consciousness just as his friends were about to bury him. One of them asked what it felt like to be dead.

"Dead!" he exclaimed. "I wasn't dead. I knew I wasn't because my feet were cold and I was hungry."

"But how could you be sure?"

"Well, I knew that if I were in heaven, I wouldn't be hungry, and if I were in the other place, my feet wouldn't be cold."


中文翻译

一个年轻人陷入昏迷,就在朋友们准备埋葬他时,他苏醒了过来。其中一人问他死亡是什么感觉。

“死!”他喊道,“我没死。我知道我没死,因为我的脚是冰凉的,而且我很饿。”

“但你怎么能确定呢?”

“嗯,我知道如果我上了天堂,就不会感到饿;如果我下了地狱,我的脚就不会是冰凉的了。”
