八句著名的名人遺言
No one really knows what happens right before you die. Maybe you see your entire life flash before your eyes. Or maybe you just have some pretty profound thoughts. Here are the final words of eight faMous people which are as haunting as they are memorable.
誰也不知道自己臨死前會發生什麼，或許你一生的光陰會在眼前一閃而過，或許你會突然迸發出極其深刻的想法。下面是八位名人的臨終遺言，和他們本人一樣令人難忘。
1. "No, I certainly can't."
“是啊，當然不能。”
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 while riding in a motorcade with his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, and the governor and first lady of Texas. It's alleged that Nellie Connally, the governor's wife, looking at the crowds, said "You certainly can’t say that the people of Dallas haven’t given you a nice welcome." "No, I certainly can't," the president reportedly replied, just moments before he was shot.
1963年11月22日，美國總統約翰·F·肯尼迪遭暗殺。當時，他和夫人傑奎琳·肯尼迪在德克薩斯州州長和第一夫人的陪同下，乘着轎車，在車隊中行進。據稱，當時州長夫人奈麗·康娜利看着擁擠的人羣說道：“你可不能說我們達拉斯人民沒有熱烈歡迎你呀。”“是啊，當然不能，”總統據稱是這麼回答的。話音剛落，肯尼迪總統即遭槍擊。
2. "You're right. It's time. I love you all."
“你是對的，我該離開這個世界了，我愛你們。”
We always knew Michael Landon as the loving father on "Little House on the Prairie," and it seems in real life he was just as much a family man. In his final days, Landon was said to have been surrounded by his nine children and wife, Cindy. Before saying his final words to his family, he asked to be alone with his wife when he passed. He died of cancer in 1991.
我們都知道邁克爾·蘭登在《草原小屋》裏扮演一位慈愛的父親，其實現實生活中的他只是一位普通的居家男人。據稱，在蘭登最後的日子裏，妻子辛迪和九個孩子一直陪在他身邊。在對家人說遺言之前，他要求臨終前單獨和妻子呆在一起。1991年，蘭登死於癌症。
3. "My Florida water."
“我的佛羅里達香水。”
The actress and comedienne (Lucille Ball) asked for her perfumed water before she died from a ruptured aorta following open-heart surgery in 1989.
1989年，這位喜劇女演員（露西爾·鮑爾）死於心臟直視手術後的主動脈破裂，臨死前，她向別人要她的香水。
4. "I hope I haven't bored you."
“我希望我沒有讓你厭煩。”
Those were music legend Elvis Presley's last words at his final press conference. Presley died of an overdose in August 1977 in his home and some reports suggest his last words were promising his fiancee Ginger Alden that he wouldn't fall asleep in the bathroom.
這是音樂界傳奇人物埃維斯·普里斯利（貓王）在最後一場新聞發佈會上，說的最後一句話。1977年8月，普里斯利因服藥過量死在家中。一些報道稱，普里斯利臨死前的最後一句話是答應他的未婚妻金傑·奧爾登，他不會在浴室睡覺。
5. "I finally get to see Marilyn."
“我終於能見到瑪麗蓮了。”
We know of course that Joe DiMaggio must have been speaking about his ex-wife Marilyn Monroe who died decades before him in 1962. After her death, DiMaggio reportedly still had roses delivered to her crypt several times a week for around 20 years. DiMaggio died in 1999 from lung cancer.
當然，我們知道喬·狄馬喬說的一定是他的前妻瑪麗蓮·夢露。夢露死於1962年，比狄馬喬早幾十年。據報道，瑪麗蓮·夢露死後二十年的時間裏，狄馬喬堅持每週送幾次玫瑰花到她的墓地。1999年，狄馬喬死於肺癌。
6. "I'm going away tonight."
“今晚我將永遠離開。”
The singer knew he was going to pass as he uttered his last words to his manager. James Brown died from heart failure in 2006.
這位歌手知道自己將不久於人世，所以他把遺言告訴了經紀人。2006年，詹姆斯·布朗死於心力衰竭。

“我活得快活極了，我享受到了每一分生命。”
Errol Flynn apparently uttered those bittersweet words -- according to various media accounts - just before he died in 1959 from a heart attack. The fun-loving actor was also buried with six bottles of whiskey.
1959年，埃洛·弗林死於心臟病發作。據多家媒體報道，埃洛臨死前說了這句苦樂參半的話。這位愛笑愛鬧的演員還與六瓶威士忌一同埋葬於地下。
8. "I should never have switched from Scotch to martinis."
“我不應該從蘇格蘭威士忌轉向馬丁尼酒。”
Those were allegedly the last words of "Casablanca" actor Humphrey Bogart, who died in 1957 from esophageal cancer. Other stories say his actual last words were, "Goodbye, kid. Hurry back," to his wife, Lauren Bacall, who was briefly leaving his side to go pick up their children from school.
1957年，《北非諜影》男演員亨弗萊·鮑嘉死於食道癌。據稱，這句話是他的遺言。但也有傳言稱，他的真正遺言是對他妻子勞倫·白考爾說的“再見了，我的孩子，你們快點回來。”當時，勞倫只是離開他一小會兒，去接孩子們放學。
