What gives your life meaning? God? Love? Money? Work? Fan-fiction? football? Shopping? sherlock.?
什么赋予你生命的意义？上帝？爱情？金钱？事业？同人小说？足球？购物？夏洛克？
You might have your own personal sense of purpose in your life, or maybe you're hoping this course will help you find one., or you might believe that you were created with a certain essence as a human being with a purpose given to you. You by God. Whatever the case is, no one would fault you for wanting your life to have meaning, a sense of meaning is something that we all crave maybe even need, and as we move out of our unit on the philosophy of religion, we should spend some time talking about how we understand our lives as being meaningful.
也许对生活的目的，你有自己的个人见解，也许你正希望这门课会帮你找到一个目的；也许你相信你被创造为具有特定本质的人类，肩负着上帝赋予你的某些目标。不论是哪一种，没有人会责备你想要自己的生命“有意义”，“有意义”是我们都渴望，甚至是一种刚需感觉，随着我们走出宗教哲学单元，我们应该花一点时间谈一谈我们如何理解自己的生活是“有意义”的。
Because when you think about it, a lot of us devote a ton of energy to the task of finding meaning in our lives. Maybe you find it through religion or by fighting for social justice, or educating others or seeking beauty in artistic expression. No matter how you do it, there's a group of philosophers, the existentialist, who say that any or all of these things can give your life meaning. But at the same time they say , none of them can.
因此你需要仔细想一想，我们许多人都投入大量的精力寻找生命中的意义，也许你通过宗教找到意义；为社会正义而战找到意义；教育他人找到意义；或在艺术表达中追寻美而找到意义。不论你如何做， 有一群哲学家，存在主义者，认为任意所有这些事情，都可以赋予你生命的意义，但与此同时，他们也说，没有东西可以让你的生命有意义。
