| 95 | because that is our state and this is our nation, | 因为那是我们的国家,这是我们的国家, |
| 96 | and we all belong here. | 我们都属于这里。 |
| 97 | But what I recognized is that the first try wasn't enough. | 但我认识到,第一次尝试是不够的。 |
| 98 | And my question became, how do I move forward? | 我的问题变成了,我该如何前进? |

| 140 | But once you know what you want, | 但一旦你知道你想怎样 |
| 141 | understand why you want it. | 理解你为什么想要它。 |
| 142 | And even though it feels good, revenge is not a good reason. | 虽然感觉很好,但复仇不是一个好的理由。 |

| 153 | talk about why things have to happen, | 谈论为什么事情必须发生, |
