24 years old, had a pesky sore on my tongue that was really bothering me. My boyfriends dad was a dentist so when I was over at his house one night I asked him to take a look. He recommended I go see an oral surgeon the next day for him to check it out. The next day I decided it was feeling better so I tried to cancel my appt but my boyfriend’s dad insisted I go. I went, and the oral surgeon pretty much diagnosed it as cancer on the spot. It was aggressive and by the time of my surgery to remove it it had already spread to multiple lymph nodes. They ended up removing over half my tongue followed by chemo and radiation. Given how aggressive it was, I often think that if I had put off the doctors visit any longer I probably wouldn’t have survived. I’m coming up on my 10 year anniversary in January
24歲，舌頭有一塊疼得厲害，讓我很痛苦。我男朋友的老爸是個(gè)牙醫(yī)，所以我在他家過夜的時(shí)候有一天晚上我讓他看了一眼。他建議我第二天去看看口腔外科醫(yī)生檢查一下。第二天我感覺沒那么疼了，所以我打算取消預(yù)約，但我男朋友的老爸堅(jiān)持要我去看。我去了。然后口腔外科醫(yī)生基本上當(dāng)場就診斷出是癌癥。擴(kuò)散得很厲害，等到我準(zhǔn)備做手術(shù)的時(shí)候，它已經(jīng)擴(kuò)散到好幾個(gè)淋巴結(jié)了。他們最后把我的一大半舌頭給切掉了，還給我做了放化療。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)癌癥的惡性程度，我經(jīng)常會想如果那天我沒去看醫(yī)生的話我或許就死了。今年一月是我確診的十周年。
I had a friend die very young from a similarly located cancer. Glad you survived.
我有個(gè)朋友很年輕的時(shí)候就因?yàn)轭愃莆恢玫陌┌Y而去世了。很高興你活了下來。
Can you talk okay with half a tongue?
你能用一半的舌頭說話嗎？
So they actually ended up reconstructing my tongue using skin and an artery from my forearm (pretty interesting as the arm skin eventually turned to the color of my tongue). I did a good bit of speech therapy and on a good day I can talk pretty well, but if I’m tired or have to talk loud it can be hard to understand me sometimes… bars and concerts can be tough. The biggest problem is that the radiation shrunk my tongue a good bit so I can’t stick it out past the back of my teeth, so it makes certain sounds (like l’s) hard to pronounce. Generally though I don’t think most people recognize I have a speech impediment in casual conversation, more just if I’m talking in loud settings or come across a word I just can’t physically say.
他們最后用我小臂的皮膚和一條動脈重做了我的舌頭（挺有趣的，因?yàn)樾”鄣钠つw最終變成了舌頭的顏色）。我接受了大量的語言康復(fù)訓(xùn)練，情況不錯(cuò)的話我說話很清楚。但如果我累了，或者不得不大聲講話的話，那么有時(shí)我的話可能會讓人難以理解……去酒吧和音樂會就比較難受。最大的問題在于放療讓我的舌頭收縮了不小的一段，我不能把舌頭伸到牙的外面去。所以一些特定的聲音（比如L）就會難發(fā)音。但總地來說我不認(rèn)為在通常的休閑對話中人們會認(rèn)為我有語言障礙。但如果我需要大聲講話，或者我遇到了一個(gè)生理?xiàng)l件不允許我說的詞的話，他們可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)吧。
That's pretty cool, I'm glad for you. Congrats on beating the cancer!
這挺酷的。我為你感到開心。祝賀你擊敗了癌癥！
My wife and I were prepared to buy a nice riverfront property in 2019, but the owners ( her dad and uncle) were dragging their feet. We had our down payment, we were approved for the mortgage, and we had even been living there paying rent.
2019年，我和我老婆本來打算買一棟不錯(cuò)的河景房，但房主（她的父親和叔叔）卻在拖后腿。我們已經(jīng)付了首付，已經(jīng)通過了按揭貸款的申請，甚至交了房租在那里住了一陣子。
然后河水的水位漲了10米，我們不得不疏散。水位一直在漲，到最后在我們買之前把房子給淹了。
所以我們就沒買。
Helpful tip for everyone out there: never buy in a flood plain or anywhere where you can’t afford the flood insurance
對住在河邊的人的一個(gè)有用的建議：只要你買不起洪澇險(xiǎn)，就永遠(yuǎn)不要購買泛濫平原等地形上的房子。
編輯：別忘了洪澇保險(xiǎn)只保房子。如果你在洪災(zāi)之后不想再住在那的話，哦好吧。你住在水下了。
Short, short version:

“如果保不起，那你就買不起?！?/b>
Well crap, I can't afford life insurance.
我草了，那我人身保險(xiǎn)也保不起啊。
This happened before cellphones existed.
這件事發(fā)生在手機(jī)問世之前。
我的通勤距離非常遠(yuǎn)，有一次我丈夫開車進(jìn)城里去見我。我比他提前大概十五分鐘往家開。在101號高速公路上開了大概20英里。我的車前面有一輛大掛車，好像開得不太對勁。我有種不太好的感覺，于是就變道加速超了過去。在后視鏡里。我看到那個(gè)大掛車追尾了它前面的車，導(dǎo)致掛車側(cè)翻，壓到了旁邊車道的那幾輛車（也就是我剛才在的車道）
我丈夫在事故路段的后面。警察正在引導(dǎo)車流沿一條車道行駛。他看見其中一輛被壓扁的車有紅色的保險(xiǎn)杠。他在我?guī)讉€(gè)小時(shí)之后才到家，他說這輩子都沒因?yàn)榭吹酵Ｔ诩依锏奈业男〖t車而感到這么高興過。他說他在轉(zhuǎn)過彎開到我們家的那條街的時(shí)候屏住了呼吸，因?yàn)樗娴挠X得被壓在那個(gè)大掛車下面的會是我。
On a road trip in college with 4 friends. We stopped halfway for a pit stop because I had explosive diarrhea and was getting more sick by the minute. Friends carried on to Vegas and left me with one of the guys who rented us a car to return home.
上大學(xué)的時(shí)候和四個(gè)朋友開車旅行。我們半路在一個(gè)服務(wù)區(qū)停了車，因?yàn)槲业昧吮l(fā)式腹瀉，每分每秒都在病得更厲害。朋友們接著去拉斯維加斯玩了，只有一個(gè)朋友租了一輛車帶我回家。
那些接著去玩的朋友們翻了車：一個(gè)人死了，兩個(gè)人終身殘疾。
That was a nice friend for staying with you and getting a rental for you guys to go back home.
這種樂意陪著你，花錢租車陪你回家的朋友是真正的好朋友。
Yeah he’s a great guy. We’re still BFF’s 20 yrs later
沒錯(cuò)他是個(gè)很棒的人。我們20年后仍然是朋友。
Your asshole saved your life.
你的屁眼兒救了你的命。
That friend who ditched a Vegas trip to drive you and your diarrhea back is the best friend ever--a true gold star friend.
那個(gè)放棄了去拉斯維加斯的旅行，開車帶著你和你的腹瀉回家的朋友才是你最棒的朋友——真正的金標(biāo)朋友。

Walking to work in the winter. Half way through a step forward under a skybridge when an icicle taller than me (6') and probably 2' around at the base crashes down right in front of my nose. If my bus had been a half second earlier, if I had walked even a tiny bit faster pace...I would have been impaled from brains to balls. I was frozen in place for a minute, quietly surveying my near-death. There was another pedestrian nearby who witnessed it and the wide-eyed, ashen look on his face as he stared at me confirmed just how narrowly fortunate I was that day.
冬天步行回家。馬上走到天橋底下的時(shí)候，一根比我還高，根部差不多兩英尺粗的冰溜子（6英尺長）在我鼻子的正前方掉了下來。如果我的公交車早到了半秒鐘，如果我稍微走快了那么一點(diǎn)……我就要被從腦子到蛋蛋捅個(gè)對穿了。我當(dāng)時(shí)嚇傻在原地了，一分鐘沒動，安靜地回味著與我擦肩而過的死亡。旁邊還有一個(gè)路人，他見證了這件事，他盯著我時(shí)那雙眼圓睜，面色蒼白的表情讓我確定我那一天確實(shí)非常幸運(yùn)。

My father in law: Was working on construction of a power plant and was scheduled work Sunday (was a unx pipe fitter). Saturday he got a call from another company asking him to run a job much closer to his house, think 5 minute commute vs 50, so he accepted and didn't go to the power plant job Sunday.
我岳父：在一個(gè)電廠工作，有一天他排班到周日（是個(gè)工會的管道工）。周六他接到了另一家公司的電話，讓他去干離他家更近的一個(gè)公司的活，通勤時(shí)間分別是5分鐘和50分鐘，所以他接受了這份工作，周日沒去電廠。
結(jié)果那天電廠發(fā)生了爆炸，和他一起工作的同事都死了。
I had some chest pains one night and woke up my wife to tell her. She got a little scared that it might be a heart attack and we agreed that I should go to the ER. The nurses were pretty sure it was a false alarm but would run an EKG as is common practice. In my head I was hoping that the chest pain would come back, not to prove a heart attack, but so that we can find out what the chest pain was. The EKG was done by one veteran nurse and a new nurse. I was watching over their shoulders. Something was flashing on the screen that made both nurses look at each other with disbelief. They ran it again and one nurse went out to the station for help. The other stayed with me and very nicely told my wife and daughter to go back out to the waiting room. A few seconds later 5-6 more people came into the room slowly and calmly and began prepping me for something. It turns out that I was having my second heart attack that night in the ER. The doctors and nurses found an obstruction in my heart and were prepping me to have it cleared and a stent placed. When I got out of surgery, the doctor who placed the stent told me “you probably picked the best time and place to have a heart attack, right here in the ER”
我有一天晚上胸痛，把妻子叫醒跟她說了。她有點(diǎn)害怕，說可能是心臟病，于是我們同意去急診室看看。急診室的護(hù)士很確定不是真的心臟病，但還是按流程做了心電圖。我其實(shí)很希望當(dāng)時(shí)的胸痛能再犯一次，倒不是為了證明我真的得了心臟病，而是希望我們能找出胸痛的病因在哪里。心電圖是由一個(gè)老護(hù)士和一個(gè)新護(hù)士一起做的。我看著他們的后背。屏幕上顯示的東西讓兩個(gè)護(hù)士難以置信地互相看著。他們又做了一遍，然后一個(gè)護(hù)士就去叫人幫忙了。另一個(gè)護(hù)士非常溫柔地告訴我的妻子和女兒去候診室。幾秒鐘之后又有五六個(gè)人冷靜地來到了診室，準(zhǔn)備讓我做什么東西。結(jié)果我正好當(dāng)晚在急診室第二次心臟病發(fā)作了。醫(yī)生和護(hù)士在我的心臟里發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)血栓，準(zhǔn)備把血栓清掉，安裝一個(gè)支架。在我手術(shù)結(jié)束之后，給我安裝支架的那個(gè)醫(yī)生跟我說：“你很可能選了世界上最好的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)犯心臟病，就在急診室里。”
編輯：謝謝你們的點(diǎn)贊和頒獎(jiǎng)。這件事給我的教訓(xùn)就是，不要把你的健康當(dāng)做是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)氖虑椋绻眢w不舒服的話就趕快去看看醫(yī)生。
編輯2：還有一個(gè)很好笑的危險(xiǎn)也被我躲過去了，就是大夫跟我說他們準(zhǔn)備放支架的時(shí)候，有兩條路把支架放進(jìn)去。一條是從手腕，另一條是從褲襠。

Same with my dad. Every major artery was blocked. He went in for a routine colonosopy and when he got done the anesthesiologist told him he might want to go talk to a cardiologist cuz the readouts he had looked odd.
我爸也是。他的所有主動脈都受阻了。他按期去做腸鏡，在他做完之后麻醉師跟他說他或許應(yīng)該去找看心臟的大夫看看，因?yàn)樗臋z查結(jié)果挺怪的。
于是一周之后我爸坐在心臟醫(yī)生的辦公室里，大夫問：“Spazzz先生你這星期都做了什么？”那天的前一天我爸還在馬場里修圍欄。
大夫根本想不通我爸為什么還能呼吸，更別說干體力活了。但他們把我爸切開之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)他的心臟自己長出了很多小的血管，這些小血管繞過了血栓。
大夫說我爸非常幸運(yùn)，因?yàn)楫?dāng)這種情況發(fā)生的時(shí)候，你只有摔了一跤結(jié)果猝死了的時(shí)候才會發(fā)現(xiàn)有哪里不對。
Was chatting with a woman at the bar, nothing flirtatious just casual banter. I told her I needed to head out and she asked if I could give her a ride. I was headed that way so it wasn't a big deal. We pull into her driveway and I can see a guy at a computer in the living room through the window. I ask who it is and she replied "that's my husband, he's a pansy. I'll bring him outside and you scare him off, then we can have the house all to ourselves for the night" Every alarm bell in my head was ringing and all I could think was 'how do I get this crazy out of my truck without a big scene?' so I said "sounds good" as soon as she was half way to the door I put it gear and burned rubber.
和一個(gè)女人在酒吧聊天，沒什么調(diào)情的話，只是閑聊。我說我得回家了，她問能不能載她走一程。我本來也要往同一個(gè)方向去，所以就答應(yīng)了。我們停到她家車道上，我從窗戶看到客廳里有個(gè)男人在用電腦。我問她那是誰，她說“那是我老公，他是個(gè)娘娘腔。我把他帶出來，你把他嚇跑。然后我們今晚就可以獨(dú)享這棟房子了?！蔽夷X子里的每個(gè)警鈴都在響，我腦子里只有一個(gè)念頭“我該怎么在不捅出大簍子的前提下跑掉？”所以我說“行啊”，然后等到她往房門走到一半的時(shí)候我就掛上檔跑了。
There was an apartment I really wanted but at the last minute I found a slightly better one. The apartment I almost moved into burned to the ground a month later.

I quit a job after my boss yelled at everybody for faking being sick when one guy came in with the flu and passed it around the office. He claimed that people don't get sick by being near each other.

I was moving abroad to do a post-grad degree. My flight was to leave out of Newark early morning on 9/11. A family friend who worked in the Towers kept prodding me to move my flight to the afternoon and come visit him in the office so he could show me around (my parents were pressuring me to go as well since it was a good networking opportunity).

It was a strange experience since I landed at Charles de Gaulle a day (or two?) after since I was moving there for two years and didn't really know anyone. The footage was literally the first thing I saw replayed on TV after exiting the plane. This was back when long-distance was expensive (and again, I was a poor grad student), so I only had spoken with my family briefly from the airport (they knew I was ok/had chosen not to meet our friend at the Towers before I flew because I'd spoke to my mother shortly before takeoff). I remember a few emotional phone calls in the weeks after I made from the telephone booth outside of my apartment in the 2nd.

總地來說在遠(yuǎn)離美國的地方居住的后幾個(gè)月是一種孤獨(dú)的經(jīng)歷，但當(dāng)時(shí)的法國人向我們展示了洋溢的溫暖——我再怎么感謝他們也不夠。只要有人發(fā)現(xiàn)我是個(gè)美國人，人們就會想方法幫我，并表示同情。
When I was 16, I had a good friend whose father was a wealthy businessman of some kind. This is Chicago and I guess his dad started screwing around with the wrong guy’s woman. My friend told me it had something to do with the mob or a mobster’s wife. I never knew for sure, but do know that I saw firsthand his dad get threatened (at a tennis court of all places) by two well-dressed clearly-Italian men who drove up in a black Cadillac. I was sitting right there with his friend as they talked to him and it was exactly as I imagined it would be in the movies. My friend said there was a contract on his dad. He actually said it like it was cool, and at the time, I guess I thought it was too.
在我16歲那年，我有個(gè)很好的朋友，他的父親是個(gè)有錢的商人。故事發(fā)生在芝加哥，他的父親或許是和某個(gè)不該招惹的人的女人好上了。我朋友跟我說事情跟黑幫或者黑幫成員的老婆有關(guān)。我一直都沒弄明白，但我親眼見過他父親受人威脅（在一個(gè)網(wǎng)球場），威脅他的是兩個(gè)衣著得體，顯然有意大利血統(tǒng)的男人，開著一輛黑色的凱迪拉克。在他們和她說話的時(shí)候，我和我朋友就在旁邊，事情發(fā)生的和電影里一模一樣。我朋友說他爸爸頂著賞金。他說的時(shí)候好像云淡風(fēng)輕，當(dāng)時(shí)我也覺得沒什么大不了。
那個(gè)星期他們邀請我去密歇根湖釣魚（我朋友，他爸爸，他爸爸的朋友和我）。在釣魚之前兩天，我家里有個(gè)成員出事了，我們得去辛辛那提一段時(shí)間。
我回來之后，得知有人在密歇根湖上發(fā)現(xiàn)了我朋友的尸體漂著（他穿著救生衣）。他的父親，父親的朋友和那艘船下落不明。警察問我我看見了什么，是誰在和他父親說話，我當(dāng)時(shí)形容不出來他們的長相，也沒說得太詳細(xì)，我猜我很幸運(yùn)。
不論如何，我認(rèn)識的最酷的孩子，Chris，死了。他們最后也沒發(fā)現(xiàn)他的父親，他父親的朋友，還有那艘船。那是密歇根湖上天氣和煦的一天，船也不錯(cuò)。但發(fā)生了不好的事情。我總覺得我躲過了一件根本無從躲開的災(zāi)禍。

我和我的另一個(gè)朋友本來在終點(diǎn)線等著，距離炸彈爆炸的地方也就20英尺，我們和跑者的家人在一起。我們很早就到了那里，因?yàn)槲覀冇X得這個(gè)地方很好，去晚了就太擠了。但我們意識到我們朋友的速度問題之后（當(dāng)時(shí)有個(gè)應(yīng)用可以按照號碼追蹤每一名跑者），我們覺得還是把我們的位置讓給別人，讓他們能見證自己的朋友完賽比較好。
我們走到了兩個(gè)街區(qū)以外，沒過多久我們就聽到了爆炸聲。當(dāng)時(shí)一開始沒有任何尖叫和喊聲，我們中有一個(gè)人是機(jī)電工程師，他說這個(gè)聲音和變壓器爆炸的聲音一模一樣。但過了不久，顯然發(fā)生了更糟糕的事情，所有人都開始飛速遠(yuǎn)離終點(diǎn)線。
我們的跑者朋友最后毫發(fā)無傷（未完賽的跑者被引導(dǎo)到了其他方向）但我們可能真的是被水和佳得樂給救了。
I had just moved to Colorado by myself and for whatever reason my mom was encouraging me to get out of the apt and go see the new Batman movie. That was the night of the theater shooting, and not only was that the theater but it was also the showing I was considering going to.

Nuke #1: Being in a head-on car crash just 4 days ago. A car was passing 2 vehicles (including an 18-wheeler) on a 2-lane road, at night, with a double-yellow line, and was headed straight for us. My husband was driving, and he swerved off the road to avoid the collision. We missed being hit literally by inches. Thankfully, the other guy didn't also swerve or he still would have hit us, and the shoulder of the road just happened to be somewhat level where we ended up.

結(jié)果我丈夫在回家的路上變得特別難受，于是他停車在路邊等著，希望我能在回家路上看見他然后停車。他在那里等了幾分鐘，但我沒出現(xiàn)，他覺得他要失去意識了。然后他想起了那家診所，只有幾個(gè)街區(qū)遠(yuǎn)，于是他開了過去，踉踉蹌蹌地跑進(jìn)了診所。

Saturday January 13th 2018 I was on a beach in Hawaii doing yoga. My phone pinged with this message; "INCOMING BALLISTIC MISSILE. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL"
2018年1月13日星期六，我在夏威夷的海灘上做瑜伽。我的手機(jī)突然彈出了這條信息：“彈道導(dǎo)彈來襲。就近尋找掩護(hù)。這不是演習(xí)。”
我給女兒打了電話，給她發(fā)了個(gè)語音信箱。我對她說了再見。我想象了一下我的朋友和家人面臨核戰(zhàn)爭的情形。我看著身邊的人在恐慌中跑來跑去。而我已準(zhǔn)備好迎接死亡。
38分13秒后，假警報(bào)的信息發(fā)到了我的手機(jī)上。
這件事改變了我看待死亡的方式。我以為自己肯定要死了，并且我什么都做不了。此后我再也不畏懼死亡了。
After a night of partying a bunch of us wanted to go watch the sun come up at a local beach when we had just graduated HS. There wasn’t a sober one amongst us, and one guy volunteered to drive in his mini van. A few of us said no let’s watch it from the deck, but he Said he was sober enough.
高中剛畢業(yè)，開了一宿的趴之后，我們有幾個(gè)人想要去當(dāng)?shù)氐暮┛慈粘觥Ｎ覀儧]有一個(gè)是沒喝酒的，有一個(gè)人提議開他的面包車過去。我們有幾個(gè)人說不用，從陽臺看就好了，但他說他喝得不多。
我那天感覺不太好，于是我們幾個(gè)人就留在原地睡了一覺。
幾個(gè)小時(shí)后，我們在早上八點(diǎn)鐘被警察和嚇傻了的家長的電話吵醒了。（那時(shí)還沒有手機(jī)）
他們被卷入了一場非常糟糕的翻車事故。六個(gè)人死了四個(gè)。沒有一個(gè)人系了安全帶。他們在160公里每小時(shí)的時(shí)速拐了個(gè)彎。
那個(gè)夏天過得非常糟糕。
哦，還有幸存者的罪惡感以及抑郁是真的。

Uncle Sam wanted to draft me during the Vietnam war. At the last minute during the physical I pointed to the surgical scar on my shoulder and said to the doc, "I don't really trust this shoulder. Any problem?" Next thing you know they take x-rays and after a bit of a wait the colonel in charge of the place said to me, "I'm sorry son but I'm going to have to disqualify you." And home I went, a free man.
越戰(zhàn)的時(shí)候，山姆大叔要讓我去打仗。在體檢的最后一刻，我指了指肩膀上的一處手術(shù)刀疤，對醫(yī)生說，“我不太信任我的這個(gè)肩膀。有沒有問題？”然后他們給我做了X光，等了一陣子之后，管事的上校對我說，“不好意思，小伙子，我們確實(shí)不能讓你去?！庇谑俏揖突丶伊?，完全自由。
