condemned(sentence 判刑) criminals(犯人) whose sphere(area范围) of activities is strictly delimited(to fix the limits of限定).
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule(habit) to live each day as if we should die
tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize(stress 强调) sharply(鲜明地) the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, avigor, and a keenness(热心;渴望) of appreciation(欣赏;评定) which are often

Helen Keller
All of us have read thrilling(exciting 令人激动的) stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified(specific 特定的) time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed(命中注定要死的)

In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune(luck一桩幸事),
