八句著名的名人遗言

5. "I finally get to see Marilyn."
“我终于能见到玛丽莲了。”

We know of course that Joe DiMaggio must have been speaking about his ex-wife Marilyn Monroe who died decades before him in 1962. After her death, DiMaggio reportedly still had roses delivered to her crypt several times a week for around 20 years. DiMaggio died in 1999 from lung cancer.
当然，我们知道乔·狄马乔说的一定是他的前妻玛丽莲·梦露。梦露死于1962年，比狄马乔早几十年。据报道，玛丽莲·梦露死后二十年的时间里，狄马乔坚持每周送几次玫瑰花到她的墓地。1999年，狄马乔死于肺癌。

6. "I'm going away tonight."
“今晚我将永远离开。”

The singer knew he was going to pass as he uttered his last words to his manager. James Brown died from heart failure in 2006.
这位歌手知道自己将不久于人世，所以他把遗言告诉了经纪人。2006年，詹姆斯·布朗死于心力衰竭。

7. "I've had a hell of a lot of fun and I've enjoyed every minute of it."
“我活得快活极了，我享受到了每一分生命。”

Errol Flynn apparently uttered those bittersweet words -- according to various media accounts - just before he died in 1959 from a heart attack. The fun-loving actor was also buried with six bottles of whiskey.
1959年，埃洛·弗林死于心脏病发作。据多家媒体报道，埃洛临死前说了这句苦乐参半的话。这位爱笑爱闹的演员还与六瓶威士忌一同埋葬于地下。

8. "I should never have switched from Scotch to martinis."
“我不应该从苏格兰威士忌转向马丁尼酒。”

Those were allegedly the last words of "Casablanca" actor Humphrey Bogart, who died in 1957 from esophageal cancer. Other stories say his actual last words were, "Goodbye, kid. Hurry back," to his wife, Lauren Bacall, who was briefly leaving his side to go pick up their children from school.
1957年，《北非谍影》男演员亨弗莱·鲍嘉死于食道癌。据称，这句话是他的遗言。但也有传言称，他的真正遗言是对他妻子劳伦·白考尔说的“再见了，我的孩子，你们快点回来。”当时，劳伦只是离开他一小会儿，去接孩子们放学。
