6. The right to an education without having to dodge bullets at schools
6. 不需要躲避子彈，就可以在學校受教育的權利。
7. The right to be thought of as adorable—(even if you have a face that only a mother could love).
7. 哪怕你只有媽媽才會愛的臉蛋，也有被人尊重的權利。
Friends, the foundation of all human knowledge, the beginning of human consciousness, must be that each and every one of us is an object of love. Before you know if you have red hair or brown, before you know if you are black or white, before you know of what religion you are a part, you have to know that you are loved.
朋友們，所有人類知識的基本原則、人類意識的起點必然是我們每一個人都成為被愛的對象。哪怕你還不知道自己的頭發是紅色還是棕色，還不知道自己是白人還是黑人，還不知道自己是白人還是黑人，還不知道自己信仰哪種宗教，你也必須知道自己是被愛著的。
About twelve years ago, when I was just about to start my Bad tour, a little boy came with his parents to visit me at home in California. He was dying of cancer and he told me how much he loved my music and me. His parents told me that he wasn't going to live, that any day he could just go, and I said to him: "Look, I am going to be coming to your town in Kansas to open my tour in three months. I want you to come to the show. I am going to give you this jacket that I wore in one of my videos." His eyes lit up and he said: "You are gonna give it to me?" I said "Yeah, but you have to promise that you will wear it to the show." I was trying to make him hold on. I said: "When you come to the show I want to see you in this jacket and in this glove" and I gave him one of my rhinestone gloves—and I never usually give the rhinestone gloves away. And he was just in heaven.
大約在12年前，我即將開始我的Bad專輯巡演，這時一個小男孩和他的父母來到加州我的家里看我。癌癥正在威脅著他的生命，他告訴我他非常喜歡我和我的音樂。他的父母告訴我他生命將盡，說不上哪一天會離開，我就對他說：“你瞧，三個月之后我就要到堪薩斯城你的家鄉去開演唱會，我希望你來看我演出，我還要送給你一件我正在錄制一部影帶時穿過的夾克。”他眼睛一亮，說：“你要把夾克送給我？”我說：“是的，我要把夾克送給你，不過你必須答應我穿著它來看我的演出。”我只想盡力讓他堅持住，就對他說：“我希望在我演唱會上看見你穿著這件夾克戴著這只手套。”于是，我又送了一只鑲著萊茵石的手套給他。一般我決不送鑲著萊茵石的手套給別人。但他就要去天堂了。
