首先，我们迫切地需要相信世界有意义，相信每个结果都有原因，每件事发生都有理由。

The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens.

youdao

我们交往了6个月，才搬到一起住，而且每个星期都有几个晚上我们会出去吃晚饭，喝酒，而且还谈论我们不应该彼此承诺的所有理由。

We dated for six months before moving in together and several nights a week we would linger over dinner, drinking wine, talking about all the reasons we shouldn't commit to each other.

youdao

我们没有理由不去展示我们的雄心，我们确实无法像切尔西、曼城那样给出天价工资，但我们同样拥有不少高水平的球员，如果可以再添加一些强援的话，一切都有可能。

I'm not saying we can pay the wages of Manchester City or Chelsea, but we've got a great group of players and if we can add a few more, anything could happen.

youdao

but rather, is there any good reason to think that we're all or most of us are in that situation, are in that state of belief where, although we give lip service to the claim that we're going to die, is there any good reason to believe that fundamentally we don't actually believe it?

而是是否有好的理由认为,我们中全部或者大部分都处于，这样一种相信的状态，虽然我们都声称自己会死，是否有好的理由相信,我们其实根本不相信呢？
