实用口语:你有自己的bucket list吗?

  Did you hear the one about the British comedian who was told he had three
months to live so he set out to complete his own "bucket list," only to find out
that he wasn't dying after all?
          Bucket list(暂译为“人生目标清单”)指一个人在有生之年想要做的事情和想要取得的成就的清单。这个短语源自于英文俗语“to kick the
bucket”,意即“去世(翘辫子)”,这个表达早在1785年就已经在使用了。
          Bucket list refers to a list of activities and achievements that a person
hopes to accomplish in his or her lifetime. This phrase comes from the idiom to
kick the bucket, meaning "to die," which has been in the language since at least
1785.
          For example:
          I need to remember to add skydiving to my bucket list.
          我要记得把跳伞列入我的人生目标清单。
