威斯敏斯特大教堂地下室的墓碑
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,I dreamed of changing theworld.
當我年輕的時候，我的想像力從沒有受到過限製，我夢想改變這個世界。
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.
當我成熟以後，我發現我不能改變這個世界，我將目光縮短了些，決定只改變我的國家。
但是，我的國家似乎也是我無法改變的。
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.
當我進入暮年後，我發現我不能改變我的國家，我的最後願望僅僅是改變一下我的家庭。
但是，這也不可能。
And now, as Ilie on my death bed, I suddenly realize:
當我躺在床上，行將就木時，我突然意識到：
If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.
如果一開始我僅僅去改變我自己，然後作為一個榜樣，我可能改變我的家庭；
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.
在家人的幫助和鼓勵下，我可能為國家做一些事情。
然後誰知道呢？我甚至可能改變這個世界。
