If people mean anything at all by the expression "untimely death", they must believe that some deaths mn on a better schedule than others. Death in old age is rarely called untimely—a long life is thought to be a full one. But with the passing of a young person, one assumes that the best years lay ahead and the measures of that life were still to be taken.
History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete. Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The idea that the life cut short is unfulfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue.
选项
答案
如果人们认为“英年早逝”表达什么含义的话,他们一定是认为某些人的辞世可以算是寿终正寝,而另一些人则“死不逢时”。死于年迈很少被冠以“英年早逝”之名,因为能度过漫长的一生被认为是圆满的。但是,如果所碰到的是一位年轻人之死,人们会认为这位年轻人风华正茂,前途无可限量,生命的倒计时尚未真正开始。 当然,历史否定了这一切。在诸多较为著名的“英年早逝”的情形中,我们会想起玛丽莲-梦露与詹姆斯-迪恩斯之死,其生命的短暂丝毫无损于其生命的完整性。对于约翰-济慈26岁便撒手离去这一事实,文人们皆痛不欲生,他们中有半数人度过26岁以后,不无玩笑地认为自己的生命是失败的。视英年早逝不圆满有悖于逻辑,因为生命是用其留给世界的印记和它的力度、美德来衡量的。
