Following the death of a close friend in 2009, Australian man Sebastian Terry, then 27, stopped in his tracks and started to reflect on his life. After asking himself the seemingly simple question of “Am I happy”， he decided to make a change in his life and that marked the beginning of his list--100 Things to Do Before You Die.
2009年，时年27岁的澳大利亚小伙塞巴斯蒂安-特里的一位密友过世，这让他突然停下脚步，开始反思自己的生活。他问了自己一个看似简单的问题--“我快乐吗”，随后便决定改变自己的生活，于是一张“此生必做100件事”清单诞生了。
From marrying a stranger to crashing a red carpet, more than three years and 23 countries later, Sebastian has struck off more than half of the “to-dos” on his list. During the trip, he has raised AUD$60,000 for a children’s charity。
三年多以来，塞巴斯蒂安游历了23个国家，完成了清单上的大部分内容，包括和一个陌生人结婚、私自闯入一场盛宴。在旅行途中，他为一个儿童慈善机构筹集了6万澳元的善款。
The list includes nerve-wrecking experiences like getting shot(with the help of a bulletproof vest, of course)， skydiving naked, chasing a tornado, swimming with a whale shark in Mexico and enduring a tandem bike ride from Vancouver to Las Vegas。
这张清单上列举的一些任务相当考验勇气，比如挨枪子儿(当然穿有防弹背心)、裸体跳伞、追逐飓风、在墨西哥与鲸鲨共舞，以及从温哥华骑双人自行车到拉斯维加斯等。
Number 60 on his list--throw a dart at a map and visit the country it lands on--took him to the capital of Mongolia, Ulan Bator, where he sampled the local culture and feasted on the Mongolian delicacy。
清单上的第60项是“往地图上掷飞镖，掷中哪个国家就去哪儿”，结果飞镖把他带到了蒙古首都乌兰巴托。他在此体验了当地文化，品尝了蒙古美食。
Many found inspiration from Sebastian’s stories--they started their own list of 100 things and shared them on the Internet。
很多人从塞巴斯蒂安的故事中受到启发，开始制作自己的“100件事”清单，并在网上分享。
Sebastian believes that being able to influence people in a positive way is the most purposeful thing he has been able to do. “I couldn't believe it when I started getting emails from people all over the world not only asking for advice, but also thanking me for encouraging them to chase their goals,” he said。
塞巴斯蒂安认为，能够积极地影响他人是他能做的最有意义的事。他说：“当我开始收到来自世界各地的电子邮件时，我简直不敢相信。人们不止是咨询建议，还会感谢我鼓励他们追逐梦想。”
