改变世界,从改变自己开始
英国伦敦著名的威斯敏斯特大教堂,有一块举世闻名的墓碑。墓碑为粗糙的花岗岩质地,造型也很普通,与周边英国国王、牛顿、达尔文、狄更斯等名人相比,墓碑居然没有姓名、生卒年月,甚至没有关于墓主人生平的介绍。
但就是这样一块无名的墓碑,却给全世界带来了心灵的震撼!
在这块墓碑上,刻着这样的一段墓志铭:
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,
我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.
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!
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。
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.
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。
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,谁知道呢?
说不定我能改变这个世界!
