人生最最痛苦的事情

开花的树

人生最痛苦的事情是人死了钱还没用完。人生最最痛苦的事情是人活着呢，钱没了。

the worst situation for a person is when you kick the bucket you still have money in your pocket. still worst, is when you are not yet ready to kick the bucket but no longer have money in your pocket.

life or money?    
thats a question.   
life without money is nobody.  
money without life is nothing.

下面供参考~~
钱没了: money is gone~~
the saddest in life is that you are gone but your money is there; still the saddest, that you are here but your money is gone.

the saddest in life is that you are gone but your money is there; still the saddest, that you are here but your money is gone.

将“最最悲哀”译成“the most saddest”易被误解成语法错误，现译为“the saddest of the saddest”，再参考你的译文，试翻译如下：

the saddest thing in your life is that  you were gone but your money was there; and the saddest of the saddest is that you were there but your money was gone!
