Even now my voice is reaching millions, millions of despairing men, women and children, victims of a system that makes men torture ，and imprison⁷ innocent people.

现在我的声音传到数以百万的，数以百万的绝望的男人，女人和孩子们的耳朵里，被那些在暴政制度下痛苦折磨的受难者，和无端入狱的人们的听到。

To those who can hear me I say, do not despair. The misery upon us is but the passing of greed,the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. 

我要对那些能够听到我讲话的人们说，不要绝望！我们正经受的悲惨遭遇不过是那些畏惧人类进步的，贪婪的人所承受的痛苦。

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took will return to the people.

So long as men die liberty will never perish.

Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes⁸, men who despise you, enslave you,regiment your lives, tell you what to think and feel, who drill you, treat you like cattle and use you as cannon⁹ fodder¹⁰. 

士兵们，不要替那些畜生们卖命，他们鄙视你们，奴役你们，操纵你们的生命，告诉你该想什么，感觉什么，他们把你们当牛一样训练为的只是拿你们去当炮灰。

St Luke says, "The Kingdom of God is within man. " Not in one man nor a group of men, but in all men. In you!

圣徒路加说过，"上帝的国就就在人间" 。不在一个人也不是在一群人中，而是在所有的人中，就在你们之中!

You have the power to create machines, the power to create happiness.You have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

你们有能力创造机器，有能力去创造快乐，你们有能力使生活自由而美好，把生活当作一场美妙的冒险。

In the name of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite, let us fight for a new world,a world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age security.

以民主的名义，让我们使用这种能力吧 ，让我们联合起来，为创造一个崭新的世界而奋斗，在这个世界人们将不会失业 ，它会给青年人更好的未来，老人也老有所养。

Promising¹² these things, brutes have risen. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people.Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.

那些畜生们对我们承诺过的,全都是谎言！他们没有实现那些诺言　永远都不会!独裁者使自己享受了自由却奴役其他人,现在，让我们为实现那个诺言而斗争吧！让我们为了自由的世界而斗争,为了废除国界而斗争 ,为了驱除贪婪，憎恨和狭隘而斗争.

Can you hear me? Wherever you are, look up, Hannah. The clouds are lifting, the sun is breaking through.We are coming out of the darkness，into a new world, a kindlier world, where men will rise above their hate, their greed and their brutality¹³.

你能听到我吗？无论你在哪里，抬起头来，乌云正在散去，阳光正穿破乌云 ，我们正在从黑暗中走出来，走进一个新的世界，一个更友好的世界 。在那里人们将不会有憎恨，贪婪和残忍。
