I say to you this morning
今早我对你说
If you have never found something so dear and so precious to you
若你从未找到对你无比珍贵的东西
That you will die for it then you aren't fit to live
珍贵到你愿为之付出生命 那你不适合活着
You may be 38 years old as I happen to be
你或许和我一样是三十八岁
And one day some great opportunity stands before you
有一天 绝好的机会出现在你面前
And calls upon you to stand up for some great principle
号召你去捍卫某种伟大的信条
Some great issue some great cause
某种伟大的目标 某种伟大的事业
And you refuse to do it because you are afraid
而你选择拒绝 因为你害怕
You refuse to do it because you want to live longer
你选择拒绝 因为你想活得更久
You're afraid that you will lose your job

Or you're afraid that you will bе criticized

Or that you will lose your popularity
或者失去声望
Or you're afraid that somebody will stab you
你害怕有人会刺杀你
Or shoot at you or bomb your house
或者枪击你 或者炸掉你的房子
So you refuse to take the stand
所以你拒绝表明立场
Well you may go on and live until you are 90
或许你能继续活到九十岁
But you're just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90
但你其实在三十八岁就已经死了
And the sensation of breathing in your life is
你这样继续呼吸 继续活着
But the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit
其实灵魂早已死去 只是死亡宣告迟迟未来而已
You died when you refused to stand up for right
当你拒绝捍卫正义时 你就已经死去
You died when you refused to stand up for truth
当你拒绝捍卫真理时 你就已经死去
You died when you refused to stand up for justice
当你拒绝捍卫公道时 你就已经死去
