When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,Idreamedof changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would notchange,so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change onlymycountry. But it, too, seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt,Isettled for changing only my family, those closest to me, butalas,they would have none of it. And now, as I l ie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize : If I had only changed myself first, then by example I wouldhavechanged my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then havebeenable to better my country, and who knows, I may have evenchangedthe world. 译文是： 当我年轻的时候，我的想像力从没有受到过限制，我梦想改变这个世界。 当我成熟以後，我发现我不能改变这个世界，我将目光缩短了些，决定只改变我的国家。 当我进入暮年後，我发现我不能改变我的国家，我的最後愿望仅仅是改变一下我的家庭。 但是，这也不可能。 当我躺在床上，行将就木时，我突然意识到： 如果一开始我仅仅去改变我自己，然後作为一个榜样，我可能改变我的家庭；在家人的帮 助和鼓励下，我可能为国家做一些事情。然後谁知道呢？我甚至可能改变这个世界。 --
