It's not pretentious, it's not expensive to attend, and there are no judgments."

VOA: special.2009.08.05

If,when we interpret the claim everyone dies alone, that just ends up being a slightly pretentious way of saying everyone dies, we might say,oh yeah,that is true and it is a necessary truth, but it's not especially surprising.

如果我们对每个人都孤独而死的诠释，只是装模作样地说明人终有一死，那我们会说，这是真理，也是必要的，但并没有什么好惊奇的。
