When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,T dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and
wiser, I discowered the world would not change,so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my
country.But,it too,seemed immovable.As I grew into my twilight yeas,in one last desperate attempt,I settled for
changing only my family,those closest to me,but alas,they would have none of it.
And now as I lie on my deathbed,I suddenly realize------
If I had changed myself first,then by example Icould have changed my family.From their inspiration and
encouragement,I would then have been abke to better my country and,who knows,I may have even changed the would.
在我年輕自由、想象力天馬行空的時候，我曾經(jīng)夢想改變**。隨著年齡的增長，日趨理智，我發(fā)現(xiàn)**是不會改變的，因此我降低了自己的要求，決定只去改變我得**就好了。但我得**似乎也無法改變。進入暮年，作為*后**次絕望的嘗試，我覺得（自己要是能）改變*親近的家人就夠了，但是，哎，他們同樣不肯作出任何改變。
而今，在臨終臥床之際，我突然意識到－－－－－－
如果**開始我先改變自己，那么以自己為榜樣，我就能改變我的家人。有他們的啟發(fā)和鼓勵，我也許就能讓我的**變得更加美好－－－－－－誰知道呢，或許這樣，我甚至能改變整個**。
