Our deepest fear

我们内心深处的恐惧

作者：Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

我们最深的恐惧并非是我们力不能及。

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

我们最深的恐惧是我们的力量无可限量。

It is our light, not our darkness

令我们恐惧的是我们的光芒，

That most frightens us.

而不是我们的黑暗。

We ask ourselves

我们都会自问

Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

我是谁，怎样才能灿烂夺目，才华横溢？

Actually, who are you not to be?

其实，你要问，你怎么能不是谁？

You are a child of God.

你就是神之子。

Your playing small

你的碌碌无为

Does not serve the world.

无益于世界。

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking

退缩并非明智之举，

So that other people won't feel insecure around you.

以为这样就不会让人们不安。

We are all meant to shine,

我们注定要光彩照人

As children do.

就像孩子一样。

We were born to make manifest

我们生来就是为了展现

The glory of God that is within us.

我们心中上帝的荣耀。

It's not just in some of us;

它并非只是少数人拥有；

It's in everyone.

而是藏在每个人的心中。

And as we let our own light shine,

当我们让自己的光芒闪耀，

We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

我们就在无意中默许他人去做同样的事。

As we're liberated from our own fear,

当我们从自己的恐惧中解放，

Our presence automatically liberates others.

我们就自然而然地解放他人。

节目的最后，送你一段话：

We all have fears. Some are afraid of the day when the school open, some are afraid of failing to be the one they are expected to be. Some are afraid of losing job or losing someone.

我们每个人都有恐惧，有人恐惧开学，有人恐惧上班，有人恐惧独处，有人恐惧失败，有人恐惧不能成为自己想成为的人。有人恐惧失去工作或者某个人。

We sometimes can't help asking questions, Are we the one? Can we make it? There are so many people out there. Why me?

我们有时候会忍不住问这些问题：我们是那个人吗？我们能行吗？那里这么多人，为什么是我？

Actually they don't matter at all. What's the most important is that can we face it and fight it. The only thing you have to fear is fear itself. It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

事实上，这些问题一点都不重要。最重要的是我们面对问题，解决问题。你唯一应该恐惧的是恐惧本身。表现真实自我的不是我们的能力，而是我们的选择。
