i probably won’t leave a great legacyof public works; i probably won’t be at all in the public eye when i go. the people to whom my death will truly matter will be very few, but that’s fine with me. i hope that what i leave them will be positiveand uplifting, so thatthey may pass onthose qualities to others in their lives. and i hope that when i do go, i don’t have tons of unfinished business, many things left unsaid, many tasks that matter to other people left undone. （to be continued）
我大概不会为公共事业留下什么伟大的遗产，我离开的时候可能也不会为大众所关注。那些真正在意我去世的人很少，但没关系。我只希望我留给他们的是积极向上的东西，这样他们也会将这些品质流传下去。我也希望，当我真的离开时，我不会有太多要做的工作没完成，不会有太多要说的话还没说，不会有太多对别人至关紧要的事没做。
