- No. 8: Make voluntary obligations.
- 第八点：履行自愿义务。
- All right, mom and dad, since we were young, they teach us things as children.
- 好吧，自打我们小时候起，妈妈和爸爸就教我们东西。
- Teachers, mentors, the government, and laws,
- 老师、导师、政府、法律，
- they all give us guidelines by which to navigate this life, rules to abide by in the name of accountability.
- 全都以负责人的名义，为我们提供把控人生的参考、需要遵守的规则。
- I'm not talking about those obligations.
- 我不是在谈那些义务。
- I'm talking about the ones that we make with ourselves, with our God, with our own consciousness.
- 我说的是我们对我们自己，对我们的上帝，对我们自己的良心所负有的责任。
- I'm talking about the you versus you obligations. We have to have 'em.
- 我说的是你和你自己的责任。我们必须负起这些责任。
- Again, these are not societal laws and expectations that we acknowledge and endow for anyone other than ourselves.
- 重申一下，这些责任不是我们为他人而非自己而承认并实践的社会法律和期许。
- These are faith-based obligations that we make on our own.
- 这些是建立在信仰基础上的义务，是我们主动履行的义务。
- These are not the lowered insurance rates for a good driving record;
- 这些不是因为驾驶记录良好而降低了的保险利率；
- you will not be fined to put in jail if you do not gratify these obligations I speak of.
- 你们不会因为未能履行我所说的这些义务而被罚入狱。
- No one else governs these but you.
- 除了自己，没有人能控制这些。
- They are your secrets with yourself; your own private council, personal protocols;
- 这些是你和自己之间的秘密，是你的私人议会、个人协议。
- and while nobody throws you a party when you abide by them,
- 当你履行这些义务时，没人会为你开派对庆祝，
- no one's going to arrest you when you break them either, except yourself,
- 而当你违背这些义务时，也没人逮捕你，除了你自己，
- or some cops who got a "disturbing the peace" call at 2:30 in the morning
- 或者某些警察，他们在凌晨2点半接到“扰乱安宁”的报警电话，
- because you were playing bongos in your birthday suit. That was me.
- 说你正一丝不挂地演奏小手鼓。那就是我。
- An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind, and when you lay down on the pillow at night,
- 对于诚实的人来说，安宁的心境是他最好的枕头，晚上躺在这个枕头上时，
- no matter who's in your bed, we all sleep alone.
- 不论床上还有谁，你们都能独自入眠。
- These are your personal Jiminy Crickets.
- 这些是你们个人的道理。
- And there are not enough cops in the entire world to police them. It's on you. It's on you.
- 整个世界上没有足够多的警察来监督这些义务。这得靠你们自己，靠你们自己。
