[00:00.37]A lot of kids today are hurt puppies who have weaned themselves off the need for love. 如今許多兒童就像受過傷害的小狗一樣，放棄對愛的追求。 [00:09.31]They couldn't care less about their parents. Left to their own devices, they cherish their independence. 他們一點(diǎn)兒也不關(guān)心他們的父母。他們獨(dú)來獨(dú)往，捍衛(wèi)自己的獨(dú)立。 [00:15.59]They have moved on and have left their parents behind. 他們不停地向前，而把父母拋在了后面。 [00:20.09]Then there are the far worse cases of children who harbor animosity and resentment toward their parents, 還有更糟的孩子，他們對父母充滿敵意和怨恨， [00:27.26]so that any overture that their parents might undertake would be thrown forcefully back in their face. 父母可能采取的信任建議都會被激烈地駁回。 [00:34.01]Tonight, I don't want any of us to make this mistake. 今晚，我不希望我們之中的任何一個(gè)人犯這樣的錯誤， [00:38.11]That's why I'm calling upon all the world's children—beginning with all of us here tonight— 這就是我為什么呼吁全世界的孩子——和我們今晚在場的人一起開始—— [00:45.22]to forgive our parents, if we felt neglected. Forgive them and teach them how to love again. 寬恕我們的父母，如果我們覺得被忽視，那么寬恕他們并教他們怎樣愛。 [00:55.31]You probably weren't surprised to hear that I did not have an idyllic childhood. 聽到我沒有擁有幸福的童年時(shí)你們可能并不吃驚， [01:01.07]The strain and tension that exists in my relationship with my own father is well documented. 因?yàn)樵S多資料表明我和我父親的關(guān)系不好。 [01:07.46]My father is a tough man and he pushed my brothers and me hard, from the earliest age, to be the best performers we could possibly be. 我父親是個(gè)嚴(yán)厲的人，我和我的哥哥們在很小的時(shí)候，他對我們非常嚴(yán)格，要求我們盡可能地成為好演員。 [01:18.58]He had great difficulty showing affection. He never really told me he loved me. 他不善于表達(dá)愛，他從未對我說過他愛我， [01:25.43]And he never really complimented me either.

And at that he was more than adept. 他是如此迫切地讓我們?nèi)〉蒙虡I(yè)上的成功，而且他在這方面很在行。
