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(暫譯為“人生目標(biāo)清單”)指一個(gè)人在有生之年想要做的事情和想要取得的成就的清單。這個(gè)短語源自于英文俗語“to kick the bucket”，意即“去世(翹辮子)”，這個(gè)表達(dá)早在1785年就已經(jīng)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.

我要記得把跳傘列入我的人生目標(biāo)清單。
