You were not born vengeful. 我们并非生来就复仇心切。
I have some role in whatever thirst you now feel for revenge, 我也饰演一些角色,无论你现在是多么渴望复仇,
and that thirst now tempts 1 me to plot ever more elaborate escapes from our common life, 那些复仇的渴望感诱使我设计前所未有精密的路线,去逃离我们共同生活,
from the schools and neighborhoods and airports and amusement parks that we used to share. 逃离学校和邻里,逃离机场和游乐场,逃离那些我们曾经共有的地方。
We face, then, a problem not of these large, impersonal 2 forces. 之后,我们面对的不是那些远大的非个人的问题,

We can choose ways of relating that get us out. 我们也可以选择相互关联的方式,让我们脱离这里。
But there are things we might have to let go of, fellow citizen, 但我们必须放弃一些,我亲爱的公民伙伴们,
starting with our own cherished versions of reality. 首先是我们自身珍视的现实视角。
Imagine if you let go of fantasies of a society purged 3 of these or those people. 想像你们放弃那些对没有这样或那样人的社会的幻想。
