It was astonishing enough that somebody-- but perhaps understandable--that somebody in that situation would decide to take a class on death and then have himself, submit himself, to my getting up here week after week, there's no prospect for an afterlife, it's a good thing that we're all going to die.

某个，某个处于那种情况下的人-,会决定上一门有关死亡的课,然后一周接一周地让自己来上我的课,忍受我讲的没有来世，我们所有人都会死是好事，这是足够让人震惊的，但也许也是可以理解的。

我也喜欢泰国菜，但是想到日复一日-,吃上几十亿年,看似不再是美妙提议。
