原文中文
人生其实就是一盘棋，这盘棋耗掉的是我们的生命，不过是否有意义，就要看你自己了。摆好棋，就好比诞生了一个生命，一盘棋的开始，就代表着你正式迈入了社会。每失去一颗子，便遇到了一次人生的挫折，但是一旦走错了棋，便会误入歧途，无法挽回人生的输局。每一次成功，就会救了一颗棋子。
Whether it holds meaning depends entirely on you.
它是否有意义完全取决于你。
句子使用了倒装结构强调主语，'depends entirely on' 强化了决定性关系。
Life is essentially a game of chess, and this game consumes our lives. Whether it holds meaning depends entirely on you. Setting up the pieces is akin to the birth of a life; the start of the game signifies your formal entry into society. Losing a piece represents encountering a setback in life, but making the wrong move can lead you astray, making it impossible to turn the tide of a losing game. Each success saves a piece.
