当人渐渐老去时,最糟糕的事情莫过于
he said the worst thing about growing old
难以坚持一些重要的信念
was that gets harder to protect the things that matter.
荣誉,自由
HONOR, FREEDOM
正义和家庭
JUSTICE and FAMILY
这些都是神圣的
Those things are sacred
遵循自己的信条,活出自己的气质
You live your life by a code, an ethos
每个人都是一样
every man does
那是你的生命的海岸线
it's your shoreline
这些将指引你回家的路。
that's what guides you home
相信我
and trust me,
家是你永远眷恋的港湾。
you're always trying to get home.
你父亲是一个好人。
Your father was a good man
没有他的成长将变得非常艰难。
Growing up without him is gonna be hard,
这是个沉重的打击。你会觉得孤独,失去了支柱,找不到方向。
It's gonna hurt. You feel alone, out to see with no shore and sight
但是你要记住,你身体里早已奔涌着他留给你的热血。
Remember, you have your father's blood in your veins
正是那热血让你的父亲成为一个伟大的人。
The code that make your father who he was
这热血也将让你变得坚不可摧。
is the same code that'll make you a man
你父亲的遗志和价值观将继续在你身上实现着。
Your father's will, his values live on in you
就像有些人虽然不认识你的父亲,却是缺十分钦佩他。
Like those people who is in strange painting your father admired
我们每一个男人都有许许多多部分组成
We man made of the boxes
法律的约束
chambers of laws
胜利的欢欣
and triumph
还有伤痛
and hurt
希望
and hope
和爱
and love
没有人的力量能强过一个男人。
No one's stronger than a man
一个可以驾驭自己情感和过往的男人
who can harness his emotions and his past
以此为动力,去书写你一生最重要的一封信。
use it as motivation to write the most important letter of your life
你的父亲在他去世之前,曾经让我记得把他深深钦佩的诗人特库姆塞的这首诗送给你。
Before he died, your father asked me to give you this poem by Tecumseh, a man he greatly admired
我告诉他,我会把它折成纸飞机。
I told him I'd fold it into paper airplane
也许这就是我现在正在做的事情。
and I guess that's what I'm doing
他想对你说的话是:
Say on it on him, to you
认真生活,死亡的恐惧就不会侵入你的内心。
Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart
尊重他人的宗教信仰。
Trouble no one about his religion
尊重他人的人格和他们的观点。
respects others and their views
并寻求对等的尊重。
and demand that they respect yours
珍爱你的生命
Love your life..
完善你的生命..
Perfect your life..
让你生命中的一切变得更美。
beautify all things in your life..
力争长寿
Seek to make your life long
并服务于你的人民。
and of service to your people
这样当你来到人生的终点,
When your time comes to die
就不会像那些内心对死亡充满恐惧的人一样。
Be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death
当行将就木时,他们哭泣,祈祷,希望能多在这人世间停留一刻
So that one their time come, they weep, and pray for little more time
以延续自己平庸的一生。
to live their lifes over again and indifferently
唱响你生命的赞歌,像个英雄般离去
Sing your death song, and die like a hero
回家了 ...
going home...
