ONE: Find your voice.
Know that not all languages contain words. Your voice could be music. It could be dance. It will be what expresses you most sincerely. Your voice is an art. If your heart is broken, make art with the pieces.
TWO: Remember that you are an artist.
Regardless of how constantly the world will try to drive it out of you or how a ‘real job’ will try to bury that part of you that communicates your feelings when language fails you. You are an artist. Whether it is with food or building robots. You will know your medium the instant you realize how in love you are with what it brings out of you.
THREE: Apologize.
You will not always be right. You will not always be wrong. You will hopefully always be learning. Atonement is a sacrifice of pride. Explanation of why you did what you did or said what you said will not vindicate you. If the cost to heal someone is only your pride then apologize and be grateful that you’ve received peace at such a bargain.
FOUR: Forgive.
Realize that some people are still learning. If forgiveness is not possible then think of everything you’ve ever wanted to be forgiven for but weren’t. Hold that uneasiness in your mind until you feel your desire for absolution becoming a wish. Realize you can grant this wish for others. If you are waiting for forgiveness, be prepared to wait. Be prepared to stand in the path of time and wither. Respect that forgiveness is difficult. Not all traspasses are equal and not everyone will heal according to your schedule.
FIVE: Accept that farting is funny.
Granted not always appropriate and sometimes unpleasant. But if you cannot laugh, if you are more offended by a fart than by war, famine, political corruption, deforestation, racism, sexism, classism, the wrongfully imprisoned, the treatment of women, the foreclosing on homes while banks debts are forgiven, if a fart offends you more than any of that then you are not a person and you cannot be helped. Join the cult. Have some kool aid.

They were trying to “defend the truth” and exercise their freedom, rather than to call for changes in mainland China, the Hong Kong University Students' Union chief Kwok Wing-ho said.

香港大學學生會會長郭永皓認為,悼念和「平反」是有所不同,悼六四的意義是銘記真相、悼念死難者,「(平反)都認同,不過係中國人嘅責任。」但他亦希望藉延續「洗柱髹橋」傳統,提醒新生自由的可貴:「以前嘅人無輕易放棄,我哋都唔應該輕易放棄校園入面嘅自由。」

vindicate 在 翻譯這檔事 Facebook 的最佳解答
口譯實力反宣傳
在某論壇,李顯龍接受訪談。
李顯龍:You only know if you are vindicated 100 years after things have passed. (現場聽衆發出心有靈犀的笑聲)
原意:百年之後,歷史才會還你清白/證明你當初是對的。
同步口譯:事情過去一百年之後,你還報什麼仇啊,是不是?
除了句意完全聽錯翻錯,次要的問題是:vindicate翻成「報仇」也不妥。
口譯是一門遺憾的藝術,在演講當下一瞬間只有一次的機會表達。如果大體意思顧到,遺漏小細節,沒人會苛求。講者如果語速飛快思緒雜亂,有的聽衆反而還會感謝口譯替他們做「重點摘錄」(gist extraction)。
但是,像這種意思一聽就明白的簡單英文,語速也不快,口譯竟然不懂裝懂亂翻,還事後刻意把這一段烏龍翻譯而不自知的證據po上網,用來宣傳自己的表現,吸引更多客戶,那真的要對這位老兄說對不起了,你對自己的實力實在沒有自知之明,而且抱著苟且心態,以爲沒人會聽出來。
以前網路不發達的時代,口譯如果要被錄音,口譯員可以索價更高。今日,同步口譯被主辦單位錄音並且事後公開,已屬平常,面對科技使高深莫測的行業更加平民化,只有真本領的口譯員才能全身而退。妙的是,這個烏龍翻譯,不是主辦單位公開的影片,是口譯員私自公開用來宣傳自己的。
中文有句話說:拿石頭砸自己的腳。
英文這樣說:hoist with one's own petard (用自己的炸彈炸自己)

A pro-democracy market stall in Hong Kong that was selling flowers ahead of the Lunar New Year received official orders to close for the first time in 32 years, for displaying political wording in violation of rules.
They had put up a sign that read "Vindicate June 4, fight to the end," using a well-known reference to the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown in Beijing.
