If people mean anything at all by the expression "untimely death", they must believe that some deaths run on a better schedule than others.Death in old age is rarely called untimely—a long life is thought to be a full one.But with the passing of a young person, one assumes that the best years lay ahead and the measures of that life was still to be taken.History denies this, of course.Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete.Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year.The idea that the life cut short is unfulfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue.
选项
答案
如果人们在使用“死不逢时”这一表达时确有所指的话,那他们一定是认为有些人去世的日子比另外一些人更为适宜。人们几乎从不把老年人的去世称作是“死不逢时”,原因是人们一般认为长寿意味着生命圆满。但是,当一个年轻人不幸谢世,人们就会假想其一生中最美好的岁月还在后头,对其一生的评价仍有待作出。历史当然不认同这种说法。提起早逝的杰出人物,人们会想起玛丽莲·梦露和詹姆士·迪恩。他们的生命虽然短暂,却同样完满。作家们无法接受诗人约翰.济慈26岁就英年早逝的事实,当他们过了那个年龄时只是半开玩笑地评价自己碌碌无为。倘若我们认为一个人因为半途夭折就是事业未竟,是十分荒谬的,因为衡量生命的标准是其留给世界的影响以及它的强度和美德。
