Youth
青年
O Youth: Do you know that yours is not the first generation to yearn for a life full of beauty and freedom? Do you know that all your ancestors felt as you do and fell victim to trouble and hatred? Do you know, also, that your fervent wishes can only find fulfillment if you succeed in attaining love and understanding of men, and animals, and plants, and stars, so that every joy becomes your joy and every pain your pain? Open your eyes, your hearts, your hands, and avoid the poison your forebears so greedily sucked in from History. Then will all the earth be your fatherland, and all your work and effort spread forth blessings.
哦,青年们:你们可知道你们这一代人并不是渴望美好自由生活的第一代?你们可知道你们所有的祖先都和你们有同感--成为麻烦和仇恨的受害者?同样,你们可知道只要你们能得到爱,理解世间万物使每一种欢乐都成为你们的欢乐,每一种痛苦都是你们的痛苦,你们强烈的愿望就能够得以实现?睁开你们的眼睛,敞开你们的心扉,张开你们的双手,免遭你们的祖先贪婪地从历史中吮吸的毒汁的毒害。那么,普天之下处处都是你们的家园,你们所有的劳动和努力就将给天下带来福祉。
