Young cows are most at risk; they can die within days.

VOA: special.2009.11.03

If only you'd known you had another 50 years, that you weren't going to die young-- or James Dean, going to burn out fast and die young-- if only you'd realized you were going to live to the ripe old age of 97, you would have picked a different life for yourself.

如果你知道自己还剩下50年，你不会英年早逝-,或者说你不会油尽灯枯，英年早逝-,如果你知道,你可以活到97岁高龄，你就会为自己选择另一种生活。

In a sense it is an image of the English countryside at a moment in which it is being emptied out, its young men sent to France to die, a kind of no man's land already.

某种意义上它是英国乡村的写照,在一个被清空的时刻，年轻的男人被送到法国受死，已经是没有人的土地。
