The way ahead is difficult. The outer boundary of what we currently believe to be feasible is still far short of what we actually must do. Moreover, between here and there, across the unknown, falls the shadow.
前方道路艱難險阻。我們當前認為可行的最大范圍和我們實際上必須做到的相比仍然遠遠不足。而且，在我們認為可行的范圍到我們應采取的行為之間仍有大片未知的領域，陰影重重。
That is just another way of saying that we have to expand the boundaries of what is possible. In the words of the Spanish poet Antonio Machado, "Path walker, there is no path. You must make the path as you walk."
也就是說，我們必須去探索可能的途徑。以西班牙詩人安東尼奧·馬查多的話來說：“路人吶，世間本無路，路在君足下。”
We are standing at the most fateful fork in that path. So I want to end as I began, with a vision of two futures, each a palpable possibility, and with a prayer that we will see with vivid clarity the necessity of choosing between those two futures and the urgency of making the right choice now.
此刻，我們站在決定命運的岔路口，所以，我想再次重申我在演說開始時的話作為演說的結朿。我們的面前有兩種未來，每一種都可能成為現實，觸手可及。我祈禱我們都能清晰地看到，在這兩種未來之間的選擇不可避免，而且刻不容緩，此刻必須做出正確的選擇。
The great Norwegian playwright, Henrik Ibsen, wrote, "One of these days the younger generation will come knocking at my door."
偉大的挪威劇作家亨利克·易卜生曾說道：“很快，年輕的一代會敲響我的門。”
The future is knocking at our door right now. Make no mistake, the next generation will ask us one of two questions. Either they will ask: "What were you thinking; why didn't you act?"
此刻，未來正在敲響我們的門。毋庸置疑，下一代會問我們以下兩個問題之一：“你們到底在想什么？為什么不采取行動？”
Or they will ask instead: How did you find the moral courage to rise and successfully resolve a crisis that so many said was impossible to solve?"
或者，他們會問：“許多人認為這個問題是無法解決的，你們如何能堅持道義、鼓起勇氣站起來面對這一危機，并將其成功解決？”
We have everything we need to get started, save perhaps political will, but political will is a renewable resource.
現在我們萬事俱備，只待開始，也許唯一欠缺的就是政治決心，但政治決心是可再生的資源。
So let us renew it, and say together: "We have a purpose. We are many. For this purpose we will rise and we will act."
讓我們下定決心，同聲髙喊：“我們懷著共同的目標，萬眾一心，向著目標，奮起戰斗。”
