　　I feel very presumptuous and uncomfortable about trying to explain out loud the things I believe in. But I do think that all human problems are in some way related to each other, so perhaps if people compare their experiences they may discover something in common in hunting the answers.

　　I am a very fortunate man for I lead a full and what is for me a happy life. I say this even though I happen to have had, in the course of it, a couple of severe personal blows.

　　我想，若是大聲解釋我的信仰，不僅會(huì)給人一種自大的感覺，也會(huì)使我感到不安。但是我認(rèn)為，從某種程度上來(lái)說(shuō)，人類所有的問題都是息息相關(guān)的。因此，倘若人們比較一下他們的經(jīng)歷，也許就能在尋找答案的過程中發(fā)現(xiàn)某些共同之處。

　　我是一個(gè)幸運(yùn)的人，因?yàn)槲业纳畛鋵?shí)而幸福。不管怎樣，我依然會(huì)這么說(shuō)，即使曾經(jīng)的多次不幸給我?guī)?lái)了沉重的打擊。

　　My first wife collapsed and died one day while she and I were ice skating, after eighteen years of a most happy existence together. My only son, a sergeant in the army combat engineers, was killed in Italy in the last war. Nevertheless, these tragedies did not throw me completely and I have been able to fill my life anew with happiness.

　　I do not mean to sound calloused. Those blows hurt me deeply. I guess that two basically important things helped me most to recover.

　　我與第一個(gè)妻子共同度過了18年幸福的婚姻生活，然而在我們?nèi)セ哪翘欤蝗坏瓜?，撒手人寰。我唯一的兒子是一名工兵軍士，二?zhàn)期間，在意大利陣亡。然而，我并沒有被這些不幸徹底打倒，而是再次讓我的生活充滿幸福。

　　我并不是想讓大家覺得我冷酷無(wú)情。這些不幸確實(shí)對(duì)我造成了很大的傷害。
