Life is worth living for. 哀悼日是為了紀(jì)念那些在大地震中失去生命的人們。一方面，是為了提醒人們不要忘記那一天，不要忘記過(guò)去，要展望未來(lái)。另一方面，是為了鼓勵(lì)幸存者堅(jiān)強(qiáng)面對(duì)生活。生命值得去奮斗。Although Earthquake had destroyed our home, but we can build a brand-new one. We can rebuild our hope. Just as Nixon said so, our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity. So let us seize it, not in fear, but in gladness. Just have a little faith. Just try to remember that everything will be alright. We will find what we are looking for in the future. 雖然地震毀掉了我們的家園，但是我們可以重建一個(gè)新的家。我們可以重建希望。就像尼克松所說(shuō)的那樣：命運(yùn)給以我們的不是失望之酒，而是機(jī)遇之杯。是的，讓我們毫無(wú)害怕，滿心愉悅地去操作獨(dú)霸命運(yùn)吧。只要有信心，只要記住最后一切都會(huì)變好。我們最終會(huì)找到自己想要的。Wish the perished victims rest in peace and the survivors live in sprits.愿逝者安息生者堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。
