2013年ESL之日常生活 24 Letting Go of the Past

（单词翻译）

 

Letting Go of the Past 

Emma: I think it’s time. 

Uday: I beg to differ. 

Emma: You can’t live in the past. I know that you like reliving your glory days, but the only way to move on is to let go of the past. 

Uday: I don’t want to move on. If you’ve had the life I’ve had, you’d cling to the past, too. 

Emma: But your best days are still to come. Constantly harking back to days gone by doesn’t allow you to live in the moment and to plan for the future. 

Uday: So what? I have my memories to comfort me in my old age. 

Emma: You’re speaking as though your life were over. You’re still young. 

Uday: Not as young I used to be. 

Emma: These old trophies¹ and football jerseys² won’t keep you young. 

Uday: Yes, but they help me remember some of the highlights of the old days. Did I ever tell you about the time I single- handedly won the game? 

Emma: Uh...
