Question

This is my third story.When I was seventeen, I1a quote (引文) that went something like, " If you live each day2it was your last, someday you'11 most certainly be right." Since then, for the past thirty-three years, I've looked3the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, what would I do ?" And when there was no answer for too many days in a4, I know I need to change something.
About a year ago I5from cancer.The doctors told me it was incurable, and that I should6to live no longer than three to six months.They advised me to get my7in order, which is doctors' code (代名詞) for "prepare to8".Later when the doctors9the cells taken from my pancreas (胰腺) under a microscope, they found it turned out to be a very rare form of cancer that is10with surgery.I had the surgery and,11, I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing12, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades.Death is the destination we all13.No one has ever escaped it.And that is14it should be, because death is very likely the single15invention of life.It clears out the old to make16for the new.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living17life.Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out ( 蓋過) your own inner18.And most importantly, have the courage to19your heart and intuition (直覺).They20already know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.

1.上下文，根據后面的quote可知，此處意為讀到了這樣一句引文。
2.上下文，根據下文可知，引文意為如果你把每一天當做（好像是）最后一天來過的話，總有一天，會出現這樣的一天的。
3.習慣用語，盯著鏡子看look in the mirror
4.in a row 意為連續(xù)的，句意為當連續(xù)很多天都沒有答案的時候，我知道我需要改變點什么了。
5.上下文，根據后文的it was incurable可知是作者患有癌癥，即suffer from遭受……疾病的折磨
6.句意理解，此處意為我應當不會活著超過三到六個月，expect意為預料，預計 desire 渴望 prepare準備 wait等待
7.上下文，根據上文的incurable可知，醫(yī)生建議作者安排好相關事宜，即安排好后事，也就是說準備好要死亡了。
8.同上
9.根據under a microscope 可知，是通過顯微鏡觀察/檢查從胰腺里取出的細胞。View 意為觀察，檢查 witness意為目擊 notice意為注意到 confirm意為證實

15.上下文，根據下文It clears out the old to make   51  for the new可知，這里講的是好的方面，所以是最好的發(fā)明。
16.句意理解，句意為死亡可以清理掉老的，給新的讓路，即make way for
17.上下文，根據上文講到的清理老的，給新的讓路，所以此處指的是你的時間是有限的，不要浪費它來過別人的生活，與下文的不要受別人的影響相對應。
18.下上文，根據the noise 可知，此處為內心的聲音
19.句意為，最重要的，具有跟隨內心與直覺的勇氣，你的內心與直覺以某種方式知道你真正想要成為什么樣的
