Hi Beth, I want to make sure the sentence meaning you wrote advanced The “ 权利” you use here means “ Right” or “ power” ? Some of my foreign friends are confused about “ 权利(Right)” and “ 权力(power)”. And this confusion might have different meaning of sentence. Dose “ 未知权利” you wrote mean “unknown right” (but the rights citizens should have) or mean “ unknown power” ( but the power human should have) ? Then "有追求未知权利的好奇" you wrote means “ (everyone) has the right/power to pursue something unknown = (每个人)有追求未知的权力/权利” or “ (everyone) has curiosity about pursuing the unknown power/right=(每个人)有追求未知权力/权利的好奇心” ? The “ 好奇” you wrote is adjective but its position in the sentence should be noun. * 有(V) + adjective + 的 +Noun * 他是好奇的 (adjective) * 他有好奇心 (Noun) If you want to emphasize the right, power or curiosity ( or other noun ) with “人生在世” and “这是天生的”, you might say “ people are created/born ~~~”. For example, people are created equal =人生而平等 = 人生在世，(人)是平等的. “Life on earth” is meaningless like “people mountain people sea” (人山人海) But if you want to say “ 人生在世，人的目的是什么 or 人生在世目的是什么? “for example. You could say “ what’s the purpose of life/ living “ ( 人生在世=life or living)

我在这里 = I am here. 在这里 = here so in chinese, 在 + 这里 = here the 在 in the word 在世 is the same situation.------> 在 + place 在世 means in the world 人：human 生：bear this is a kind of old chinese: 主动表示被动---省略被动词“被”----initiative to present passive so 人生在世 = 人（被）生在世 so 人生在世 means u r brought to this world 人生在世 always leads to some sigh of feeling or something like this. for example, 人生在世，屈指可数三万天，何必太看重身外之物呢？

alive。。。living。。。。not die、、、、

“人生在世”是“人活在这个世上”的缩写形式

就是“活着的时候”
