Guy Raz (Host): One week ago today, an 1)enormous chalkboard 2)popped up on a busy street here in Washington, D.C.. And at the very top corner painted in huge letters, just three words—“Before I Die.” The board was like a 3)magnet to passersby to write their greatest wishes, their wildest dreams, the things they want to accomplish before they die. Think of it as a crowd-sourced 4)bucket list.
盖·雷茨（主持人）：一周前的今天，一块巨大的黑板突然出现在华盛顿特区熙熙攘攘的街道上。在黑板顶端写着很大的字母，只有三个单词——“在我有生之年（Before I Die）”。这块黑板犹如一块磁铁，吸引着来往的过路人写下他们希望在有生之年能够完成的最大的心愿、最荒诞的梦想以及想做的事。我们可以将这看成是人人都可参与的人生目标清单。
“Before I Die”的项目由华人艺术家Candy Chan在新奥尔良创立，她搭建了一块写满“Before I Die”的黑板墙，在墙下提供了彩色粉笔，所有路过的人们都被邀请来完成这些句子。起初这只是在一个展览馆举办，后来转移到了Candy家附近的一幢废弃的大楼，现在这块黑板正以一种DIY套件的形式分布在全球各地。
cavalry, make it in the hip hop, cook a souffle, hold her one more time, help numerous children, love and be loved, abandon all insecurities, be completely myself… The project was featured in Oprah Magazine and NBC’s Rock Center with Brian Williams, and The Atlantic called it “one of the most creative community projects ever.”After receiving many requests from people around the world, she and her Civic Center colleagues created a project site and a Before I Die Toolkit. Thanks to passionate people who’ve made walls with their communities, the project has expanded around the world, including Mexico, South Africa, the Netherlands, Portugal, Kazakhstan, and beyond. Taken together, the Before I Die project offers a snapshot of the values our neighbors hold dear. You can also take a piece of the dream home with you with a limited edition painting and submit your dreams on the project site. The project is growing every day and together we can make public spaces that better reflect what is important to us as a community and as individuals.
