 　　The true humanitarian¹ in the Merlyn family was my wife Rebecca.

　　我家真正的慈善家，是我的妻子丽贝卡

　　Many of you here knew her.

　　在座许多人都知道她

　　She tirelessly devoted² herself to helping³ those less fortunate in the glades⁴.

　　她不辞辛苦的致力于，帮助那些在林间不幸的人

　　I like to think that if the men who murdered her knew her;

　　毫不夸张的说，假如有人想要谋杀她

　　knew the work that she did, knew the person that she was...

　　当他了解她的所作所为

　　He would have helped her to her car, made sure she was safe,

　　肯定不会再偷她的钱包再杀了她

　　instead of stealing her purse and shooting her.

　　而会将她亲自送回车里，确保她的安全

　　The truth is,I haven't done enough for this city.

　　事实上，我为这座城市做的不够多

　　My city. I failed it.

　　我的城市。我辜负了它

　　But I promise you... I am not finished yet.

　　但我保证，我还会继续

　　I promise you that this city will be better for all of us.

　　我保证，这座城市会变得更好

　　And on that day, I will look at this beautiful award and feel that I have earned it.
