Suppose, Lord Russell, this film were to be looked at by our descendants, like a Dead Sea Scroll in a thousand years' time, what would you think it's worth telling that generation about the life you've lived and the lessons you've learned from it?  I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral.

羅素勳爵，假如我們的後代在一千年後看到這部電影，就像看到《死海古卷》一樣，您認為值得向那一代人講述您的一生以及您從中汲取的教訓嗎？  我想說兩件事，一件是知識上的，一件是道德上的。

情態副詞

The intellectual thing I should want to say to them is this: when you are studying any matter or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out.

我想對他們說的知識分子的話是：當你研究任何問題或思考任何哲學時，只問自己什麼是事實，什麼是事實所證明的真理。

Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed, but look only and solely at what are the facts.

永遠不要讓自己被你希望相信的東西或你認為如果相信就會產生有益的社會效果的東西所轉移，而要只看、只看事實。

That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say.  The moral thing I should wish to say to them is very simple.

這就是我想說的知識方面的話。  我想對他們說的道義上的話非常簡單。

I should say, love is wise, hatred is foolish.

應該說，愛是明智的，恨是愚蠢的。

In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other.

在這個相互聯繫越來越緊密的世界上，我們必須學會相互包容。

We have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like.

我們必須學會忍受一些人說出我們不喜歡的話。

只有這樣，我們才能生活在一起。

 But if we are to live together and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.

但是，如果我們要共存而不共亡，我們就必須學會一種慈善和一種寬容，這對於人類在這個星球上延續生命絕對是至關重要的。
