I believe I'm a very lucky man.
我信任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.
我的终生生活安稳，毫无波涛。我从未阅历过经济或情绪危机，但我占有的所有并不是依附宠爱、遗产或特权，而是通过我自己的尽力工作得来的。
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其，始终认为工人就应当工作，商人就应该获利，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，我讨价还价的才能没有涓滴上进，所以我从不试图过火吹捧自己。尽管我晓得自己的酬劳少于实际应得的，但我仍会持续工作。我发明，由此一来，我从未因惧怕失业而做出任何违反准则的事。
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.
确实，像我这种在精力、身材、感情与经济上如斯荣幸的人，少不了良多人曾给予的赞助。有些辅助是刻意的，但大局部的则是偶尔为之
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.
只管如此，我仍然以为必需回报他们。这并不是说我为同胞们贡献出了本人的毕生，我也不是那样的人。但我感到应当尽自己所能去帮助别人，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，当初所说的这些恰是我信奉中的一部门。即便很难，但为了本身好处，每个人都应将生活的信奉缩减至600字，并将其与他所享有的货色作比拟——不比领有的房产、金钱跟物品，而是比爱、健康、幸福与欢笑。
