I'd like to close with this poem.
我想以此詩來做結束。
When they bombed Hiroshima, the explosion formed a mini-supernova, so every living animal, human or plant that received direct contact with the rays from that sun was instantly turned to ash.
當他們轟炸了廣島，爆炸形成了一個小型的超新星，所以每一個活生生的動物，人們和植物受到如同太陽光芒一般的直接輻射，瞬間化為灰燼。
And what was left of the city soon followed. The long-lasting damage of nuclear radiation caused an entire city and its population to turn into powder.
這城市遺留的灰燼隨后落下來。核輻射的長期損害，致使整個城市和它的人口化為粉末。
When I was born, my mom says I looked around the whole hospital room with a stare that said, "This? I've done this before."
當我出生時，我媽媽說我四處張望整個病房，凝視著說到，“這個？我從前就經歷過這個。”
She says I have old eyes. When my Grandpa Genji died, I was only five years old, but I took my mom by the hand and told her, "Don't worry, he'll come back as a baby."
她說我有雙慧眼。當我姥爺源氏去世時，我只有5歲，但我用手拉著我媽媽，告訴她。“不要憂傷，他會像嬰兒般降生歸來。”
And yet, for someone who's apparently done this already, I still haven't figured anything out yet. My knees still buckle every time I get on a stage.
而且顯然有人已經這樣的誕生了，盡管我還沒完全弄清楚。每次我站在舞臺上，我雙膝都直不起來。
My self-confidence can be measured out in teaspoons mixed into my poetry, and it still always tastes funny in my mouth.
我的自信可以用茶匙摻和到我的詩歌中衡量出，這在我嘴中嘗起來還總是有滋有味的。
But in Hiroshima, some people were wiped clean away, leaving only a wristwatch or a diary page.
但在廣島，一些人都被消滅干凈了，只留下了一個手表或者1頁日志。
So no matter that I have inhibitions to fill all my pockets, I keep trying, hoping that one day I'll write a poem I can be proud to let sit in a museum exhibit as the only proof I existed.
所以不管什么限制，我要填滿我所有口袋，我努力嘗試著，希望有一天我會寫詩，我可以自豪地讓我的詩呈現在博物館展覽，這也是我存在的唯一證明。
