It's as though we live life for a while,

在有限的时间内
getting a feel for all the wonderful things life could offer us, and then

我们体验生命中的各种愉悦但随后
a moment later, as it were, it's snatched away from us.

它又从我们手中夺走一切
It's sort of adding insult to injury

有点雪上加霜的意味
that we're offered just a whiff.

初尝甜头旋即一切消失殆尽
It's as though somebody brought in this delicious meal

好比有人在饿汉面前放上一道佳肴
to a hungry--before a hungry person--

正中饿汉下怀
allowed them to see what it looked like,

允许他们观赏
allowed them to smell the delicious aromas,

允许他们嗅闻
perhaps gave them just one little tiny forkful to see just how

或许也允许他们品尝一小口
beautifully delicious the food was.

以便他们能全方位体验美食
And then they snatched the whole thing away.

但随后一切都被撤走了
