最近这些年,市面上好像有很多书都讲关于一生要做的多少件事,一生要去的多少个地方等等。好像忽然之间,你的一生要做什么、去哪里都有人替你规划了,你只要攒好钱,然后出发就行了。那么,你已经列好自己的bucket list了吗?
Bucket list refers to a list of activities and achievements that a person hopes to accomplish in his or her lifetime. This phrase comes from the idiom to kick the bucket, meaning "to die," which has been in the language since at least 1785.
Bucket list(暂译为“人生目标清单”)指一个人在有生之年想要做的事情和想要取得的成就的清单。这个短语源自于英文俗语“to kick the bucket”,意即“去世(翘辫子)”,这个表达早在1785年就已经在使用了。
For example:
I need to remember to add skydiving to my bucket list.
我要记得把跳伞列入我的人生目标清单。
