In the pocket of an old ragged coat belonging to an elderly man in Chicago, a will was found, after his death.
在芝加哥一位辞世老人大衣的口袋里，人们发现了一份遗嘱。
It went like this:

Beloved,
亲爱的:
There are days when nothing seems right, when every shell you pick up on the winding shore is broken,when the silken treasure slips through your fingers too quickly, and when comforts are empty and the world is noisy.
总有这样的日子:一切似乎都不正常，你在弯弯曲曲的海滩上捡到的贝壳都是残缺不全的，珍贵的宝物从你指缝中一忽儿就溜走了，别人应该给的慰藉荡然无存，而整个世界喧闹不堪。
On those jagged edged days, when the wind is screaming for a reason only she understands.
在那些艰难的日子里，狂风莫名地呼啸，
And you find yourself all alone.
而你发现自只是孤身一人。
Turn your face to the sun.
面朝太阳吧。
There is goodness in the world that even the river of tears cannot erase.
因为人世间存在美善，即便是成河的泪水也无法将其冲掉。
There is love in the world that the numbed armies of fear can not destroy.
因为人世间存在着真爱，即便是冰冷的恐惧也不能将其摧毁。

In all one's lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.
人生在世，和“自己”相处最多，打交道最多，但是往往悟不透“自己”。
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach; luck and opportunities will come your way and you are overjoyed that they constitute part of your worth.
人生走上坡路时，往往把自己估计过高，似乎一切所求的东西都能垂手可得，甚至把运气和机遇也看做自己身价的一部分而喜不自胜。
When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself, mistaking difficulties and adversities for your own incompetence. It's likely that you think it wise for yourself to know our place and stay aloof from worldly wearing a mask of cowardice, behind which the flow of sap in your life will be retarded.
人在不得意时，又往往把自己估计过低，把困难和不利也看做自己的无能，... -
How wonderful are islands! Islands in space, like this one I have come to, ringed about by miles of water, linked by on bridges, no cables, no telephones.
岛屿是多么奇妙啊！它处在一望无际之中，四周海水围绕， 没有桥梁相通，没有电缆相连，更无电话可打。
An lsland from the world and the world's life. Islands is time, like this short vacation of mine.
我来的小岛就是 这样一个地方，它远离尘世，不见喧嚣。小岛是时间的孤岛，就 像我的这次短期假期。
The past and the future are cut off: only the present remains.
在这里，过去和未来都被隔断，只有现时 依然存在。
One lives like a child or a saint in the immediacy of here and now.
一个人，或是像个孩子：或是像个圣人，现在便实 实在在地在这里活着。
Every day, every act, is an island, washed by time and space, and has an island's completion.

Human growth is a process of experimentation, trial, and error ultimately leading to wisdom. 人类的成长是一个经历,试验和最终失败而引向智慧的过程。 Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action, you can never quite be certaion how the situation will turn out. 每次你选择相信自己,开始采取行动时,你绝不会知道这个情况会如何。 Sometimes you are victorious, and sometimes you become disillusioned. 又是你是胜者，但是有时你又会幻灭。 The failed experiments, however, are no less valuable than the experiments that ultimately prove successful; in fact, you usually learn more from your perceived "failures" than you do from your perceived "success". 然而，失败的经历远远高于成功，事实上，你从失败里学到的比在成功里学到的更多。 If you have made what you perceive to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own expectations, you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong-doer. 如果你自责犯了一个错误...

The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full; the moon is black. The birds arrive; the birds depart. Flowers bloom; flowers fade. Seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. all nature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise; my moods will fall.
潮起潮落，冬去春来，夏末秋至，日出日落，月圆月缺，雁来雁往，花飞花谢，草长瓜熟，自然界万物都在循环往复的变化中，我也不例外，情绪会时好时坏。
Today l will be master of my emotions.
今天我学会控制情绪。
It is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday.
这是大自然的玩笑，很少有人窥破天机。每天我醒来时，不再有1日日的心情。
Yesterday's joy will become today's sadness; yet today's sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly tuning from sadness to joy, from exultation to dep... -

In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments:
几年前，在一所大学的开幕典礼中,可口可乐的首席执行官布赖恩?戴森讲到工作与其他义务的关系：
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
想象生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的游戏。这五个球分别为工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵，而且你很努力地掷着这五个球，不让它们落地。很快地你会了解工作是一个橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它，它还是会弹回来。
But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your lif... -

世界上满坑满谷都是精明能干、才华横溢、学富五车以及极具天赋之人，我们每天都会见到他们。几天前，我的汽车运转不灵了。
I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is,great talent is not enough.
我把它开进维修厂，一位年轻的机械工只消几分钟就把它修好了。他仅凭倾听发动机的声音就能确定哪儿有毛病，这让我惊奇不己。然而遗憾的是，光有非凡才华是不够的。
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.

Being told I would be expected to talk here, I inquired what sort of talk I ought to make. They said it should be something suitable to youth-something didactic, instructive, or something in the nature of good advice.

What I have lived for
我为何而生
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong,have governed my life:the longing for love, the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
对爱情的渴望，对知识的追求，对人类苦难不可遏制的同情心，这三种纯洁而无比强烈的激情支配着我的一生。
These passions, like great winds,
这三种感情，就像阵阵狂风，
have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course,over a great ocean of anguish,reaching to the very verge of despair.
卷着我四处飘荡，走上艰难的旅程，越过痛苦的海洋，直抵绝望的边缘。
I have sought love, first,because it brings enthusiasm-enthusiasm so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy.
我寻求爱情，首先因为爱情给我带来激情，它如此强烈以致我经常愿意为了几小时的欢愉而牺牲生命中的其他一切。
