🌟我們個人的自由並不是天生賦予,民主也不是理所當然,但我們可以打破那個阻擋的牆,擁抱新的開始,任何事情都是可能的。
“Our individual liberties are not givens. Democracy is not something we can take for granted. Neither is peace, and neither is prosperity,” said Merkel, the main speaker. “But if we break down the walls that hem us in, if we step out into the open and have the courage to embrace new beginnings, everything is possible.”
🌟柏林圍牆限制了我的自由(因為Merkel來自東德),它擋住了我的去路。但牆並不能阻擋我的內在思想、我的人格和我的夢想。
“The Berlin Wall limited my opportunities. It quite literally stood in my way. However, there was one thing which this wall couldn’t do through all those years: It couldn’t impose limits on my inner thoughts, my personality, my imagination, my dreams and desires.”
🌟柏林圍牆在1989年意外的倒塌,這件事開啟一個大大的門,給我(Merkel)新的機會,跨過種種阻礙,成為現在的德國總理。
