Talk About Family 谈论家庭
家庭是无可替代的东西，它是永远的守护。
"The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family."
"If you don't have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don't have much at all. Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, 'Love each other or perish.' "

“事实上，如果没有家庭，人们便失去了可以支撑的根基。”
“如果你得不到来自家庭的支持、爱抚、照顾和关心，你拥有的东西便少得可怜。爱是至高无上的，正如我们的大诗人奥登说的那样，‘相爱或者死亡。’”

"This is part of what a family is about, not just love, but letting others know there's someone who is watching out for them. It's what I missed so much when my mother died-what I call your 'spiritual security'-knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame."
“这就是家庭的部分涵义，不仅仅是爱，而且还告诉别人有人守护着你。这是我母亲去世时我最想得到的——我称它为‘心理安全’——知道有一个家在守护着你。只有家庭能给予你这种感觉。金钱办不到。名望办不到。”
