改变自己就会改变世界

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing theworld.

当我还年轻，自由，我的想象力没有极限，我梦想改变世界。

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. But it, too, seemed immovable.

随着年龄的增长，我越来越懂事了，我发现世界不会改变，所以我缩短了我的目光，决定只改变我的国家。但它也似乎不可动摇。

As I grewinto 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.

当我步入晚年，最后一个绝望的尝试，我决定只改变我的家庭，那些我亲近的人，但很可惜，他们也没有改变。

And now, as Ilie on my death bed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.

而现在，在我临终时，我突然意识到：如果我只改变我自己，然后通过例子我就改变了我的家庭。

From their in spiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country, and who knows, I may have even changed the world.

从他们的支持与鼓励中，我将能够更好的改变我的国家，谁知道呢，我甚至可能已经改变了世界。
