　　Long Walk to Freedom

漫漫自由路

Then I slowly saw that not only was I not free, but my brothers and sisters were not free. I saw that it was not just my freedom that was curtailed, but the freedom of everyone who looked like I did. That is when I joined the African National Congress, and that is when the hunger for my own freedom became the greater hunger for the freedom of my people. The chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me. It was during these long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed.

我渐渐发现不光是我失去了自由，我的兄弟姐妹也失去了自由。 不光我的自由被大打折扣。看起来和我的一样的所有其他人的自由都被大打折扣。在我加入非洲国民大会的时候，也就是当我从追求个人的自由转变为追求人民的自由的时候。加于每一个人身上的枷锁，就是加于全体人民身上的;加于全体人民身上的枷锁就是加于我身上的枷锁。正是在那些漫长而又孤独的岁月里，我从为我自己的民族斗争转变成为全体的人民——白人和黑人，追求自由的奋斗。我深知正如其他事情一样，压迫者和被压迫者同样必须得到解放。

When I walked out of prison, that was my mission, to liberate the oppressed and the oppressor both. Some say that has now been achieved. But I know that that is not the case. The truth is that we are not yet free; we have merely achieved the freedom to be free, the right not to be oppressed. We have not taken the final step of our journey, but the first step on a longer and even more difficult road. I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dareinger, for my long walk is not yet ended.

当我步出监狱的时候，我就把解放被压迫者以及压迫者视为我的使命。有人说这使命已经完成，但我知道并非如此，事实上我们并没有获得自由，我们只是获得争取自由的自由，获得了不被压迫的自由，我们的征程才刚刚开始，我们刚刚踏出这艰苦而又漫长的征程的第一步。在通往自由的道路上我走了很久。我努力不让自己止步。在这条路上我也曾迷失过，但我却发现了一个秘密，就是当爬过一座高山后，才发现原来还有更多的山要攀登，我只是在这里稍加歇息，看一看身边的美好风景，回顾一下自己所走过的路，但我只能稍作停留，因为随着自由而来的还有责任，我不敢逗留，漫长的旅途还未到尽头。

　　你要成为自己的那道光

Have you ever been around someone who immediately put you at ease? Perhaps you may be one of those people who others feel safe around.

有没有遇到过那么个人，只要他/她在你身边，你立即就觉得安心?或许你就是让别人觉得安心的那么一个人。

What is the common thread in people who emanate warmth? Some may think it is related to personality or physical appearance. But this does little to explain why bright beacons of light can be found anywhere. Essence has nothing to do with our exterior.

那些气场中自带温暖的人有哪些共性呢?一些人也许认为这与性格或外貌有关。但这基本解释不了为什么明亮的灯塔之光四处可见。本质与我们的外在无关。

I like to believe the common thread is a universal trait we are all able to tap into. When we see the truth of who we are and wholeheartedly love every part of that truth, we automatically shine. When we embrace our essence and live in congruence with who we are, we radiate peace.

我愿意相信这个共性是我们都能够触及的、普遍存在的品质。当我们欣赏自己的本质并全心全意热爱着这一切的时候，我们自然而然就会出类拔萃。当我们欣然接受自己的本质并遵循本心来生活的时候，我们会自带平和的光环。

Every day we can choose to wake up and see the gift of getting to be who we are. When we decide to live from this way of "being," it becomes easy to see this same light and gift in everyone — even those who may not yet see it in themselves.

每一天，我们都可以选择一醒来就欣赏做自己这一项天赋。当我们决定以“本性”来生活的时候，在每个人身上，甚至是那些可能还没有开始欣赏自身本性的人身上，我们变得很容易就能看到同样的光芒和天赋了。

The benefits of self-love are many. What I know to be true without a doubt in my heart, is that we are all capable of giving this gift to ourselves.

自爱的益处有很多。我所知道的*就是，我们都能赋予自己这项天赋，这一点我深信不疑。

These words help me remember why embracing my essence is always the best thing to do. Perhaps this may resonate with where you are.

这些话让我想起欣然接受自己的本质始终是上策的原因。或许这也会与你产生共鸣。

When you love who you are,

当你爱自己的时候，

you become a conduit of light.

你会成为一道光。

Just drop into your heart space,

只需触及心房，

and live life from this view.

并遵循本心来生活。

For all of this doing

做这一切

is not who you are.

无关你是谁。

Listen to your heart’s soft whisper,

聆听内心轻柔的呢喃，

this voice will show you the way.

她会告诉你方法。

Live life from your essence

遵循本性来生活

is what she will say.

她会这样告诉你。

See the light in yourself,

欣赏自身的光芒，

and your world will be bright.

你的世界都会变得明亮。

There is no need to worry,

没必要担心，

you are exactly as you should be;

你正是自己本来的模样;

remember to love who you are,

记得爱自己，

and love you will see.

爱自己欣赏的一切。

　　I like for you to be still

我喜欢你是静静的

I like for you to be still: it is as though you are absent

and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you

It seems as though your eyes had flown away

and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth

我喜欢你是静静的：仿佛你消失了一样

你从远处聆听我，我的声音却无法触及你

好像你的目光已经游离飘去

如同一个吻，封缄了你的嘴

As all things are filled with my soul

you emerge from the things, filled with my soul

You are like my soul, a butterfly of dreams

and you are like the word Melancholy

如同我积满一切的灵魂

而你从一切中出现，充盈了我的灵魂

你像我的灵魂，像一只梦想的蝴蝶

你如同“忧郁”这个词

I like for you to be still, and you seem far away

It sounds as though you are lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove

And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you

Let me come to be still in your silence

我喜欢你是静静的，好像你已远去

你听起来像在悲叹，一只如鸽般喁喁细语的蝴蝶

你从远处聆听我，我的声音却无法触及你

让我在你的恬谧中安静无声

And let me talk to you with your silence

that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring

You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations

Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid

并且让我藉着你的沉默与你说话

你的沉默亮若明灯，简单如环

你如黑夜，拥有寂静与群星

你的沉默就是星星的沉默，遥远而明亮

I like for you to be still: it is as though you are absent

distant and full of sorrow, as though you had died

One word then, one smile, is enough

And I'm happy, happy that it's not true

我喜欢你是静静的：仿佛你消失了一样

远隔千里，满怀哀恸，仿佛你已不在人世

彼时，一个字，一个微笑，就已足够

而我会感到幸福，因那不是真的而感到幸福
