Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer. But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble. 汉译英 日本奈良县法隆寺的五重塔是世界上最古老的木结构建筑之一，历经1400年的风吹雨打、火灾与地震仍安然矗立。塔内的中心柱支撑起32米高的结构，对其年轮进行分析后发现，用来制造这根木柱的树木砍伐于公元594年。人们推测这之后不久便开始了整座塔的建造。在这个钢铁与混凝土的时代，这座塔提醒着人们，木材作为建筑材料的历史有多么久远。 @翻了个译，MTI专业辅导
