改變世界,從改變自己開始
英國倫敦著名的威斯敏斯特大教堂,有一塊舉世聞名的墓碑。墓碑為粗糙的花崗巖質(zhì)地,造型也很普通,與周邊英國國王、牛頓、達爾文、狄更斯等名人相比,墓碑居然沒有姓名、生卒年月,甚至沒有關(guān)于墓主人生平的介紹。
但就是這樣一塊無名的墓碑,卻給全世界帶來了心靈的震撼!
在這塊墓碑上,刻著這樣的一段墓志銘:
When I?was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of?changing the world.
在我年輕的時候,
我曾夢想改變這個世界。
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.
可當我成熟以后,
我發(fā)現(xiàn)我不能夠改變這個世界,
于是,我將目光縮短一些,
那就只改變我的國家吧!
But it,too,?seemed immovable.
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.
可當我到了暮年的時候,
我發(fā)現(xiàn)我根本沒有能力改變我的國家,
于是,我最后的愿望僅僅是改變我的家庭,
可是這也是不可能的。
And now,as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed?my self first, then by example I would have changed my family.
當我躺在床上行將就木的時候,
我突然意識到:
如果當初我僅僅是從改變自己開始,
也許我就能改變我的家庭。
在家人的幫助和鼓勵下,
也許我就能為我的國家做一些事情。
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.
然后,誰知道呢?
說不定我能改變這個世界!
