I believe I'm a very lucky man.
我相信自己是一个幸运的人。
My entire life has been lived in the healthy area between too little and too much. I've never experienced financial or emotional insecurity, but everything I have, I've attained by my own work, not through indulgence, inheritance or privilege.
我的一生生活平稳，毫无波澜。我从未经历过经济或情感危机，但我拥有的一切并不是依靠溺爱、遗产或特权，而是通过我自己的努力工作得来的。
Never having lived by the abuses of any extreme, I've always felt that a workman is worthy of his hire, a merchant entitled to his profit, an artist to his reward.
生活中的我从不滥走极端，始终认为工人就应当工作，商人就应当获利，艺术家有权获取报酬。
As a result of all this, my bargaining bump may be a little underdeveloped, so I've never tried to oversell myself. And though I may work for less than I know I can get, I find that because of this, I'm never so afraid of losing a job that I'm forced to compromise with my principles.
正因如此，我讨价还价的能力没有丝毫长进，所以我从不试图过分吹嘘自己。尽管我知道自己的酬劳少于实际应得的，但我仍会继续工作。我发现，由此一来，我从未因害怕失业而做出任何违背原则的事。
Naturally in a life as mentally, physically, emotionally and financially fortunate as mine has been, a great many people have helped me. A few meant to, most did so by accident.
的确，像我这种在精神、身体、情感与经济上如此幸运的人，少不了很多人曾给予的帮助。有些帮助是刻意的，但大部分的则是偶然为之
I still feel I must reciprocate. This doesn't mean that I've dedicated my life to my fellow man. I'm not the type. But I do feel I should help those I'm qualified to help, just as I've been helped by others.
尽管如此，我依然认为必须报答他们。这并不是说我为同胞们奉献出了自己的一生，我也不是那样的人。但我觉得应该尽自己所能去帮助他人，就像别人帮助我一样。
What I'm saying now is, I feel, part of that pattern. I think everyone should, for his own sake, try to reduce to six hundred words the beliefs by which he lives - it's not easy - and then compare those beliefs with what he enjoys - not in real estate and money and goods, but in love, health, happiness and laughter.
我认为，现在所说的这些正是我信仰中的一部分。即使很难，但为了自身利益，每个人都应将生活的信仰缩减至600字，并将其与他所享有的东西作比较——不比拥有的房产、金钱和物品，而是比爱、健康、幸福与欢笑。
