1. People by their very nature are always on the lookout for intruders, trying to prevent those on the outside from getting in. But there will always be those who force their way into our lives, just as there will be those we invite in. But the most troubling of all will be the ones who stand on the outside looking in. The ones we never truly get to know.
人类的天性就是提防那些入侵者，我们努力防止外人进入我们的生活。但就像我们有时会邀请客人一样，总会有人强行进入我们的生活。不过最令人头痛的还是那些站在远处监视着我们的人，我们永远不知道他们的真面目。
2. Competition, it means different things to different people, but whether it"s a friendly rivalry, or a fight to the death. The end result is the same. There will be winners, and there will be losers. Of course the trick is to know which battles to fight. You see, no victory comes without a price.
竞争意味着不同的事对不同的人，但不管是一场友好的竞赛还是致命的搏斗，最终结局都是一样的――有胜利者，也有失败者。当然，秘诀在于自己要知道该参加哪场斗争，因为，任何胜利都是有代价的。
3. People are complicated creatures, on the one hand, able to perform great acts of charity; on the other, capable of the most underhanded forms of betrayal. It is a constant battle that ranges within all of us, between the better angels of our nature, and the temptation of our inner demons. And sometimes the only way to ward off the darkness is to shine the light of compassion.
人是一种复杂的生物：一方面，能乐善好施；另一方面，也能背信弃义。我们的内心在善良的天使和欲望的魔鬼之间不断的斗争着。有时，抵挡黑暗的唯一办法就是发出仁慈的光芒。
4. Trust is a fragile thing, once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom；but once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Of course the truth is, we never know who we can trust. Those we are closest to can betray us. And total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned.
信任是很微妙的东西，一旦得到我们会感觉到无比自由；但是一旦失去就几乎不可能再挽回。当然，我们永远不知道可以相信谁。最亲近的人也有可能背叛我们，而未曾谋面的人也可能伸出援助之手。所以，大多数人决定只相信自己。这是避免引火上身最简单的方法。
5. It"s impossible to grasp just how powerful love is, it can sustain us through trying times, or motivate us to make extraordinary sacrifices; it can force decent man to commit the darkest deeds, or compel ordinary woman to search for hidden truths. And long after we"re gone, love remains burned into our memories. We all search for love, but some of us, after we found it, wish we hadn"t.
人们无法理解爱的力量究竟有多大，它能让我们渡过艰难困苦；或者鼓励我们做出特殊牺牲；它能逼迫正人君子诲淫诲盗；也能迫使平凡女人发掘真相。即使我们早已不在人世，爱仍在我们的回忆里。我们都在寻找爱，但是有些人在找到之后却希望不曾找到它。
6. Children come into the world with their own agendas, some to brighten our days, some to test our patience, some to give us purpose, some to take care of us. Yes, when they come, children change everything, especially when they’re not invited.
孩子们带着他们的使命来到人间，有些照亮我们的人生，有些考验我们的耐性，有些带给我们活着的理由，还有些来照顾我们。是的，孩子的降临改变一切，尤其是他们不请自来的时候。
7. Yes, life is a journey, one that is much better traveled with a companion by our side. Of course that companion can be just about anyone - a neighbor on the other side of the street - or the man on the other side of the bed? The companion can be a mother with good intentions, or a child who is up to no good. Still despite our best intentions, some of us will lose our companions along the way and then the journey becomes unbearable. You see, human beings are designed for many things. But loneliness is not one of them.
是的，人生是一场旅程，我们最好结伴同行。当然同伴可以是任何人，也许是对街的邻居，或者是同床的男人。这位同伴可能是个用心良苦的母亲，也可能是个不怀好意的孩子。虽然我们没有恶意，但有些人还是会在旅程当中失去他们的伴侣，接下来这段旅程开始变得难以忍受，要知道人可以忍受很多事，但孤独却不在其中。
8. Nothing is forever, and the time comes when we all must say goodbye to the world we knew, goodbye to everything we had taken for granted, goodbye to those we thought would never abandon us, and when these changes finally do occur, when the familiar has departed, and the unfamiliar has taken its place, all any of us can really do is to say hello…and welcome!
没有东西是永恒的。我们都会有离开世界的那一刻，那时我们要向曾经熟悉的世界说再见，向曾经没有珍惜的一切说再见，向我们曾认为不会抛弃我们的人说再见。当熟悉变得陌生，当陌生变成习惯的时候，我们只能无力的说声：哈罗，欢迎！
9. In a world filled with darkness, we all need some kind of light, whether it"s a great flame that shows us how to win back what we"ve lost, or a powerful beacon intended to scare away potential monsters, or a few glowing bulbs that reveal to us the hidden truth of our past. We all need something to help us get through the night, even if it"s just the tiniest glimmer of hope.
在充满黑暗的世界里，我们都需要一些光明。它可以是指导我们挽回失去的东西的一束火焰；也可以是驱除潜在的恶魔的灯塔；或者是照亮我们隐藏真相的灯泡。我们都需要能让我们撑过黑夜的东西，哪怕是最微弱的希望光芒。
10. We"ve all done something in our lives us we are ashamed of, some of us have fallen for the wrong man, some have let go of the right women, there"re those who have humiliated their parents and those who have failed their children. Yes, we"ve all made mistakes that diminish us and those we love. But there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes and grow.
我们都做过一些自己都感到惭愧的事，有些人爱错了人，有些人错过了爱；有些孩子使父母丢脸，也有些家长让孩子失望。是的，我们都犯过错使我们爱的人离我们而去，但如果我们试着从这些错误中吸取教训并成长，就还有挽回的机会。
