This statement in kanji / hiragana?

Question:


I'd like to have my signature on a certain forum in several languages.
How would this be translated into Japanese:
"They say no one lives forever. Sounds like a challenge to me"

Answer:


誰も永遠に生きないと言われる。それはどうかな。
(daremo eien ni ikinai to iwareru. sore wa dou kana.)


A direct translation wouldn't carry the same connotation as what you have written, so I changed it just a bit. The first part is the same; the second part is more along the lines of the English versions's intended meaning ("We'll see about that." / "Don't count on it." / etc.).

This isn't really normal talk, though; it sounds as if out of a game or anime (which I believe is what you're after).
