O Youth: Do you know that yours is not the first generation to yearn1 for a life full of beauty and freedom Do you know that all your ancestors felt as you do - and fell victim to trouble and hatred2 Do you know, also, that your fervent3 wishes can only find fulfillment if you succeed in attaining4 love and understanding of men, and animals, and plants, and stars, so that every joy becomes your joy and every pain your pain Open your eyes, your hearts, your hands, and avoid the poison your forebears so greedily sucked in from History. Then will all the earth be your fatherland, and all your work and effort spread forth5 blessings6.
Albert Einstein
哦，年轻人：你们是否了解，你们这一代并非渴望无比美好自由的生活的第一代？你们是否了解，你们的祖祖辈辈和你们感受相同--却成为烦恼和仇恨的牺牲品？还有，你们是否了解，假如你们确实获得了世人、动物、植物还有星晨的爱和理解，结果各种喜悦成为你们的喜悦，各种痛苦成为你们的痛苦，你们那些热切的愿望才能得以达成？睁开你们的双眼，打开你们的心灵，张开你们的双手，要免遭你们的先人在历史上十分贪婪地吸取的毒害。那样普天之下到处都是你们的祖国，你们所有些工作和努力都会遍地开花，造福天下。
阿伯特爱因斯坦
