The Man on The Ground(4) 躺在地上的人(4)
I probably won't leave a great legacyof public works； I probably won't be at all in the public eye when I go. The people to whom my death will truly matter will be very few， but that's fine with me. I hope that what I leave them will be positiveand uplifting， so thatthey may pass onthose qualities to others in their lives. And I hope that when I do go， I don't have tons of unfinished business， many things left unsaid， many tasks that matter to other people left undone. （to be continued）
我大概不會為公共事業留下什么偉大的遺產，我離開的時候可能也不會為大眾所關注。那些真正在意我去世的人很少，但沒關系。我只希望我留給他們的是積極向上的東西，這樣他們也會將這些品質流傳下去。我也希望，當我真的離開時，我不會有太多要做的工作沒完成，不會有太多要說的話還沒說，不會有太多對別人至關緊要的事沒做。
