这篇文章是一篇墓志铭,刻在威斯特明尼斯特大教堂的墓碑上
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits
I dreamed of changing the world.
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.
As I grew into my twilight years,in one last desperate attempt
I settled for changing only family,those closest to me
But alas,they would have none of it.
And now as I lay on my deathbed,I suddenly realise :
If I had only changed myself first
Then,by example I would have changed my family.
From their inspiration and encouragement,
I would then have been able to better my country
And who knows,I may even have changed the world
在我年轻的时候
我曾梦想改变这个世界
可当我成熟以后
我发现我不能够改变这个世界
于是 我将目光缩短一些
那就只改变我的国家吧
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 我最后的愿望仅仅是改变我的家庭
可是这也是不可能的
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
在家人的帮助和鼓励下
也许我就能为我的国家做一些事情
然后,谁知道呢?
说不定我能改变这个世界!
