To find the best in others,

To leave the world a little better,

Whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

要么培育出健康的孩子，要么留下花園一塊，或是改善社會條件；

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation,

盡情娛樂、笑得暢快，把歡樂的歌唱起來；

To know even one life has breathed easier;
