　　And I say that, because everyone of us has to make a decision like that everyday

　　You can't live in a world that is interdependent where the walls come down and borders look more like nets

　　除非大多数人相信我们身上所具备的共同点 远比那些有趣的差异更值得关注

　　You can't keep every bad thing out anywhere unless most people believe that what we have in common is more important than our interesting differences

　　否则你不可能在一个围墙已经倒下 国界更像网一样的相互依存的世界中生存 不可能阻止一切不好的事情发生

　　The Christian Bible says that you should love your neighbor as yourself,

　　圣经告诉我们应像爱自己一样爱我们的邻居

　　And it is the second most important command after Loving God

　　这是在第一条诫命爱上帝之后最重要的一条
