- The third way that I think we can help make our peace with regret is through the passage of time, which, as we know, heals all wounds-except for tattoos, which are permanent.
- 第三点我想就是通过时间的流逝来慢慢平和地面对遗憾，我想，时间抚平一切—除了纹身大概是永久性的。
- So it's been several years since I got my own tattoo. And do you guys just want to see it? All right.
- 我纹身也有几年了。你们想看看吗？没问题。
- Actually, you know what, I should warn you, you're going to be disappointed.
- 不过我得先声明一下，你们可能会失望。
- Because it's actually not that hideous. I didn't tattoo Marilyn Manson's face on some indiscreet part of myself or something.
- 因为这个纹身并不那么糟糕。我可没把玛莉莲·曼森的脸纹到什么隐私部位。
- When other people see my tattoo, for the most part they like how it looks.
- 别人看到我的纹身基本上都还挺喜欢。
- It's just that I don't like how it looks. And as I said earlier, I'm a perfectionist. But I'll let you see it anyway.
- 只是我不喜欢这个图案。正如我之前所说，我是个完美主义者。不过我还是会给你们看看。
- This is my tattoo. I can guess what some of you are thinking.
- 我的纹身。我知道你们有些人会怎么想。
- So let me reassure you about something. Some of your own regrets are also not as ugly as you think they are.
- 那么让我告诉你，有些你后悔的东西并不是你以为的那么糟糕。
- I got this tattoo because I spent most of my 20s living outside the country and traveling.
- 我纹这个是因为我二十来岁的时候，基本都是在其他国家旅行。
- And when I came and settled in New York afterward, I was worried that I would forget some of the most important lessons that I learned during that time.
- 后来当我到纽约定居后，我怕自己会忘记在那期间我认识到一些重要的东西。
- Specifically the two things I learned about myself that I most didn't want to forget was how important it felt to keep exploring,
- 特别有两点我最不想忘记，一是不要停止探索的脚步，
- simultaneously, how important it is to somehow keep an eye on your own true north.
- 二是不要忘记你心中的目标。
- And what I loved about this image of the compass was that I felt like it encapsulated both of these ideas in one simple image.
- 我当初喜欢这个指南针图案，就是因为觉得这个图案将上述两点含括于内。
- And I thought it might serve as a kind of permanent mnemonic device.
- 我想这个会变成我永久的记忆。
