第一篇：If There Were No After lIfe

whether There’s AfterlIfe, the answer has never been the same. the atheists deny After lIfe, believing that our lIfe is No more than from the cradle to the grave. they may care about their illustrious names After death; they may feel attached to the affection of their offspring, but they never lay their hopes on their AfterlIfe. they may also say that good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil, but they don’t really believe any retribution in their After lIfe.

第二篇：If There Were No After lIfe

If There Were No After lIfe

如果没有来世

whether There’s AfterlIfe, the answer has never been the same. the atheists deny After lIfe, believing that our lIfe is No more than from the cradle to the grave. they may care about their illustrious names After death; they may feel attached to the affection of their offspring, but they never lay their hopes on their AfterlIfe. they may also say that good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil, but they don’t really believe any retribution in their After lIfe.

有没有来世，众说纷纭。无神论者，不相信来世。他们认为从生到死，仅此而已。他们可能在意身后的英名，他们可能留恋后代的亲情，但他们不寄希望于来世。他们也会说善有善报，恶有恶报，但并不相信下辈子报应什么。

however, in the religious world or among the superstitious people, the belief in AfterlIfe is very popular. they do Not only believe in AfterlIfe, but thousands of reincarnations as well. in themysterious world, There are the paradise and the hell, the celestial beings and the gods, the buddha and the bodhisattvas.

在宗教领域、或在一些迷信的人群，来世之说比较盛行。不仅是来世，甚至会认为有千百次的轮回。在那未知而飘渺的世界，有天堂，有地狱，有神族，有仙界，有菩萨、有佛祖。

maybe they really believed it, or maybe they just wanted to make use of people’s veneration, the ancient emperors always declared that they Were the real dragons, the sons of god, while the royal ministers claimed to be the reincarnations of various constellations. but can the stars reincarnate?

也许真的相信、也许是为了利用人们的敬畏心里，古代的帝王们总是宣称自己是真龙天子，大臣们则标榜为天上的什么文曲星、武曲星或太白金星转世。星星能转世吗？

many people burn incense and kowtow, do good deeds and strive for virtues, Not just for the present, but mainly to let god see their sincerity so as to be reborn into a better AfterlIfe, or to achieve the highest enlightenment After several lives of practice. they do believe in AfterlIfe. but i can’t help asking: suppose There Were No AfterlIfe, would you still do good deeds and strive for virtues? and If god does Not see what you are doing, would you still be so upright and selfless? If you work, Not for serving the public and liberating the others, but

just for a better AfterlIfe of your own, isn’t it a little too selfish? comparing with this kind of believers, those who don’t believe in AfterlIfe, but still keep doing good deeds, are the most sincere and honest philanthropists, because they do them Not for themselves but for other. 许多人烧香、磕头，行善、修德，并不都是为了眼前，而是为了让上天看见自己的真诚，以便下辈子有个好的托生，或者几世之后能修成正果。这些人自然是相信来世的。但我不禁要问：如果没有来世，你们会不会一样行善、修德呢？如果神灵看不见，你们是否也会公正无私呢？如果不是为了解脱他人和服务大众才去修行，如果仅仅是为了自己将来托生好才去行善，是否有些自私呢？比较起来，那些不相信来世而又坚持行善的人，则应该是最真、最诚的大善。因为他们不是为自身，而是为公理。

you may wonder If i believe in AfterlIfe. my answer is: i kNow Nothing about my previous lIfe, so i dare Not make improper comments on AfterlIfe. but i do hope There’s AfterlIfe! because our present lIfe is so short that so many things slip away before our proper understanding. i have so many dreams, so many wishes, so many ambitions, as well as so many regrets and concerns. If There Were No AfterlIfe, all of them will remain unrealized!

也许有人会问作者，你相信来世吗？我的回答是：我不知道前生，因而也不敢妄谈后世。但我真的希望能有来世！因为这辈子时间太短，许多事情都是在还没弄明白的时候，就已经匆匆过去了。我有那么多的理想，我有那么多的心愿，我有那么多的奢望，我有那么多的遗憾，我有那么多的牵挂，我有那么多的雄心壮志，如果没有来世，那就一切皆空了。

i’m Not contented with the present commonplace lIfe, i’m very much attached to the affections that should have been mine but have been washed away by the hurrying time, and i yearn for the perfection and maturity If i could start all over again. so believe it or Not, i’d rather There Were AfterlIfe

我不甘心眼前的碌碌无为，我留恋被岁月冲走的本应属于我的亲情，更向往从头再来的完美和成熟。为此，信也好，不信也好，我宁愿有来世。

let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, If Not all, of those present here today.

"mum, i'm sorry, but i need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year."

"mum, it is my friend's birthday tomorrow, i must buy her a present."

"mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? "

take. take. take. the relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. i kNow my mother is always There for me, providing me with everything i need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. i never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, "will There be a time that you'll say you have taken eNough from me? "

like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. we enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. we take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. we appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother we tragically learned from the disasterwe suffured these years , we canNot continue our carelessness. the continual earthquakes , droughts ,and floods

finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we canNot help thinking of our posterity. nature is Not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come. how severely our descendents will criticize us If we leave them a barren and lIfeless mother? how much more they will appreciate us If we give them a world of harmony to inherit? let us start respecting and caring for nature from Now on. let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment. with this new start, i firmly believe, that our children, and our children's children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!

第四篇：If There Were No After lIfe

whether

There?ˉs

AfterlIfe,

the

answer

has

never

been

the

same.

the

atheists

deny

After

lIfe,

believing

that

our

lIfe

is

No

more

than

from

the

cradle

to

the

they

may

care

about

their

illustrious

names

After

death;

they

may

feel

attached

to

the

affection

of

their

offspring,

but

they

never

lay

their

hopes

on

their

AfterlIfe.

they

may

also

say

that

good

will

be

rewarded

with

good,

and

evil

with

evil,

but

they

don?ˉt

really

believe

any

retribution

in

their

After

lIfe.

in

the

religious

world

or

among

the

superstitious

people,

the

belief

in

AfterlIfe

is

very

popular.

they

do

Not

only

believe

in

AfterlIfe,

but

thousands

of

reincarnations

as

well.

in

the

mysterious

world,

There

are

the

paradise

and

the

hell,

the

celestial

beings

and

the

gods,

the

buddha

and

the

bodhisattvas.

they

really

believed

it,

or

maybe

they

just

wanted

to

make

use

of

people?ˉs

veneration,

the

ancient

emperors

always

declared

that

they

Were

the

real

dragons,

the

sons

of

god,

while

the

royal

ministers

claimed

to

be

the

reincarnations

of

various

constellations.

but

can

the

stars

reincarnate?

people

burn

incense

and

kowtow,

do

good

deeds

and

strive

for

virtues,

Not

just

for

the

present,

but

mainly

to

let

god

see

their

sincerity

so

as

to

be

reborn

into

a

better

AfterlIfe,

or

to

achieve

the

highest

enlightenment

After

several

lives

of

practice.

they

do

believe

in

AfterlIfe.

but

i

can?ˉt

help

asking:

suppose

There

Were

No

AfterlIfe,

would

you

still

do

good

deeds

and

strive

for

virtues?

and

If

god

does

Not

see

what

you

are

doing,

would

you

still

be

so

upright

and

selfless?

If

you

work,

Not

for

serving

the

public

and

liberating

the

others,

but

just

for

a

better

AfterlIfe

of

your

own,

isn?ˉt

it

a

little

too

selfish?

comparing

with

this

kind

of

believers,

those

who

don?ˉt

believe

in

AfterlIfe,

but

still

keep

doing

good

deeds,

are

the

most

sincere

and

honest

philanthropists,

because

they

do

them

Not

for

themselves

but

for

other.

may

wonder

If

i

believe

in

AfterlIfe.

my

answer

is:

i

kNow

Nothing

about

my

previous

lIfe,

so

i

dare

Not

make

improper

comments

on

AfterlIfe.

but

i

do

hope

There?ˉs

AfterlIfe!

because

our

present

lIfe

is

so

short

that

so

many

things

slip

away

before

our

proper

understanding.

i

have

so

many

dreams,

so

many

wishes,

so

many

ambitions,

as

well

as

so

many

regrets

and

concerns.

If

There

Were

No

AfterlIfe,

all

of

them

will

remain

unrealized!

Not

contented

with

the

present

commonplace

lIfe,

i?ˉm

very

much

attached

to

the

affections

that

should

have

been

mine

but

have

been

washed

away

by

the

hurrying

time,

and

i

yearn

for

the

perfection

and

maturity

If

i

could

start

all

over

again.

so

believe

it

or

Not,

i?ˉd

rather

There
