名校勵志英語演講 第61期:拯救世界 拯救兒童

[00:00.28]To be sure, I would like them to remember how I always wanted them with me wherever I went, 我敢肯定，我希望他們能記得，不管我去哪兒，總想把他們帶在身邊， [00:06.59]how I always tried to put them before everything else. 能記得我把他們看得比一切都重要。 [00:10.19]But there are also challenges in their lives. 但他們的生活中也會有挑戰(zhàn)。 [00:12.42]Because my kids are stalked by paparazzi, they can't always go to a park or a movie with me. 因為我的孩子們總是被狗仔隊跟蹤，他們不能經(jīng)常和我去公園或去看電影。 [00:20.21]So what if they grow older and resent me, and how my choices impacted their youth? 所以如果他們長大了之后怨恨我怎么辦呢？如果他們怨恨我選擇給他們的童年帶來影響我該怎么辦呢？ [00:28.02]Why weren't we given an average childhood like all the other kids, they might ask? 他們也許會問，為什么我們沒有和其他孩子一樣的童年呢？ [00:33.32]And at that moment I pray that my children will give me the benefit of the doubt. 在那一刻，我會祈禱，我的孩子能夠理解我。 [00:38.07]That they will say to themselves: "Our daddy did the best he could, given the unique circumstances that he faced. 他們會對自己說：“在那種特殊的環(huán)境下，我們的爸爸已經(jīng)盡了他最大的努力。 [00:46.32]He may not have been perfect, but he was a warm and decent man, who tried to give us all the love in the world." 或許不完美，但他卻是個溫和而正派的人，他想把這世上所有的愛都給我們?！? [00:53.28]I hope that they will always focus on the positive things, on the sacrifices I willingly made for them, 我希望他們能總是把焦點放在那些積極的方面，放在我心甘情愿為他們做出犧牲上， [00:59.20]and not criticize the things they had to give up, or the errors I've made, and will certainly continue to make, in raising them. 而不是抱怨他們不得不放棄一些事情，或批判我在撫養(yǎng)他們的過程中犯過的或將來不免要犯的錯誤。 [01:08.27]For we have all been someone's child, and we know that despite the very best of plans and efforts, mistakes will always occur. 因為我們都是父母的孩子，而且我們都清楚，盡管有最好的計劃和努力，錯誤也在所難免。 [01:16.10]That's just being human. 人，孰能無過？ [01:17.52]And when I think about this, of how I hope that my children will not judge me unkindly, 當我想到這個，想到我是多么希望我的孩子不會覺得我不夠好， [01:23.15]and will forgive my shortcomings, I am forced to think of my own father and despite my earlier denials, 而且會原諒我，原諒我的缺點時，我不得不想起我自己的父親，不管我之前怎么否定他， [01:32.54]I am forced to admit that me must have loved me. He did love me, and I know that. 我必須承認他一定是愛我的。他的確愛我，我是知道的。
