What close calls.
多么侥幸啊！
Now I could go on in this personal basis,but the point is I've just reached the 30 mark. Many of these experiences would be denied in the past age. I've found that the beliefs I've discovered in the 20- to 30-year period can be the ground floor of my philosophy,and that these early years can be a fruitful basis for a mature life for everyone. I remember in particular two young men named Jefferson and Hamilton,whose thoughts are deeply embedded in this country's philosophy.I like people because they are the key to the great human values:love,charity,friendship,sacrifice,and brotherhood. Some of my closest friends are people whom I was at first hesitant to meet. What close calls. I feel sorry for those poor souls who must go through life not knowing their neighbors,not participating in groups or being active in causes,and when I meet persons who are not interested in people who are different—and of course,that's everyone. Then I rededicate myself to this thing called society—a continuous living drama equal to anything Hollywood ever produced. I believe the more people you understand,the more you understand God.
目前，我可以借助我的丰富的生活历程，但我刚刚跨过30岁的门槛，以前的不少历程在过去来讲都是没好处的。我也终于发现，人的一生当中20到30岁这期间，是整个生活的奠基石，是拥有一个丰富的完好的生活的保证。我深深地记得，Jefferson和Hamilton这两个青年，他们的思想就牢牢地嵌入了这个国家的哲学。我喜欢接触别人，由于他们是我知道人性价值的重要：爱，慈善，友谊，牺牲和兄弟情谊。我的朋友有一部分，在最开始的时候，我不不是非常想去接触的。这都是一种侥幸。对于那些一辈子都不了解自己邻居是哪个，从来不参加社团活动，在课堂上从来不积极，从来没试着去知道与自己想法不同的人，我真的感到非常难过。所以我要把自己贡献给这个所谓的社会，这部绝不亚于任何好莱坞大片的生活剧。我坚信，你知道的人越多，你与上帝的距离就越短。
