When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. 在我年轻的时候，曾梦想改变这个世界。 As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable. 可当我成熟以后，我发现我不能改变这个世界。于是，我将目光缩短一些，那就只改变我的国家吧。 As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it. 可当我到了暮年的时候，我发现我根本没有能力改变我的国家。于是，我的最后愿望仅仅是改变我的家庭，可是这也不可能的。 And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family. 当我躺在床上，行将就木的时候，我突然意识到，如果当初我仅仅是从改变自己开始，也许我就能改变我的家庭。 From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country, and who knows, I may have even changed the world. 在家人的帮助和鼓励下，也许我就能为我的国家做一点事情；然后谁知道呢，说不定我能改变这个世界。 |
