Sooner or later, the time comes when we all must become responsible adults and learn to give up what we want so we can choose to do what is right.Of course, a life time of responsibility isn't always easy.And as the years go on, it's a burden that can become too heavy for some to bear.But still, we try to do what is best, what is good --not only for ourselves...but for those we love.Yes, sooner or later, we must all become responsible adults.No one knows this better than the young.
迟早有一天，我们都必须变成负责任的成年人，学会放弃我们想要的而选择做正确的事情。当然，履行一辈子的责任总不是那么容易。随着时光的流逝，对某些而言会变成不可承担之重负。但是，我们仍然努力做最好的，最棒的，不仅是为了我们自己，而是为了我们爱的人。是的，迟早，我们必须变成负责任的成年人。没人能比年轻人更懂这一点。

It's the same for all of us.We try not to get too close to the people who live next door.It's easier to give them a polite nod than to ask what's wrong.It's safer to keep walking by than to get involved.True, we sometimes do get to know the people we share a fence with and end up lifelong friends.But mostly, we keep our distance,because we'd rather our neighbors know nothing about us than know too much.我们每个人都一样，我们试着和邻居保持距离。见面点个头比嘘寒问暖来的容易。旁观者比当局者更安全。没错，我们有的时候能够逐渐了解毗邻而居的人，并成为一生的朋友。但是大多数时候，我们和邻居保持距离。因为我们宁愿邻居对我们知之甚少，而不是了如指掌。
