Another 40 Years to Live | 再活四十年

English Original

A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near-death experience. Seeing God, she asked if this was the end. God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months, and 8 days to live."

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital for cosmetic surgery. She had a facelift, liposuction, breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, and even had her hair color changed. She figured since she had so much more time to live, she might as well make the most of it.

After the final procedure, she left the hospital. While crossing the street, she was struck and killed by an ambulance speeding to the hospital.

Arriving before God again, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years?"

God replied, "I didn't recognize you."


中文翻译

一位中年妇女心脏病发作,被送往医院。在手术台上,她经历了一次濒死体验。她见到了上帝,便问是否大限已至。上帝回答:“不,你还能再活43年2个月零8天。”

康复后,这位女士决定留在医院进行整形手术。她做了面部拉皮、吸脂、隆胸、腹部整形,甚至还染了头发。她心想,既然还有这么多时间可活,不如好好利用。

完成最后一项手术后,她离开了医院。过马路时,她被一辆疾驰赶往医院的救护车撞死了。

再次来到上帝面前,她质问道:“我记得你说我还能再活40年?”

上帝回答:“我当时没认出你来。”
