​ 
我们站在这里
一圈有缺陷的人面向外
逆向思考
做出广泛而笼统的声明
我们自己也不完全理解
但他们不知道
 
我们已然在这里
数十年了
麻痹着
被不可能的决定左右
向下？陷入犬儒主义的深渊
那里没有人可以信任，没有什么是真实的
在我们与外界隔绝的地方开始
但在这些地方
我们不必只看自己的内心
也不必对自己的观点和自我价值做出不可能的改变
 
或向上？整体提升
如果不是这个圈，我们永远不会知道，何为整体
做出积极的改变，启发亲密
但向上时，我们面临着更好的危险地带
不可能改变的观点和自我价值
 
所以，我们站在这里
 
 
Here we stand.
 
A circle of flawed humans facing outwards,
thinking backwards,
making broad and sweeping statements that
we ourselves don’t fully understand –
but they don’t know that.
 
Here we’ve stood
for decades.
Paralysed
by the impossible decision of which way to go.
Down? Down into the pit of cynicism, where
nobody can be trusted; nothing is real.
Down where we cut ourselves off from
the rest. But where we need not look
inwards and make impossible changes
to outlook and self-worth.
 
Or up?  Uplifting community of those
we would never have known, but for this circle.
Community. Positive change. Inspired intimacy.
But uphill, we face a treacherous terrain of
Being Better. Impossible Changes to
Outlook and Self-Worth.
 
So, here we stand.
