这是个古老的问题,
　　每个人都会问,
　　在此时或彼刻。
　　
　　Though he looks into a mirror
　　And recognizes his own face,
　　Though he knows his own name
　　And age and history,
　　Still he wonders, deep down,
　　Who am I?

　　尽管他往镜子里瞧,
　　认出了自己的脸,
　　尽管他清楚自己的姓名、
　　年龄和生平,
　　他仍深深疑惑,
　　我是谁?
　　
　　Am I a giant among men,
　　Master of all I survey,
　　Or an ineffectualpygmy
　　Who clumsily blocks his own way?
　　Am I the self-assured gentleman
　　With a winning style,
　　The natural born leader
　　Who makes friends instantly,
　　Or a frightened heart
　　Tiptoeing among strangers,
　　Who, behind a frozen smile, trembles
　　Like a little boy lost in a dark forest?
　　Most of us yearn to be one,
　　But fear we are the other.

　　我是人中豪杰?
　　样样皆能?
　　抑或卑微无能之辈,
　　笨拙愚鲁,自堵去路?
　　我是个自信的绅士,
　　一派赢家风范?
　　天生的领导者,
　　和他人一拍即合,朋友满天下?
　　或是有着一颗惊恐的心,
　　在陌生的人群中小心行走,
　　躲在僵硬的笑脸背后颤抖,
　　像迷失在黑暗森林里的小男孩?
　　我们中的大多数人渴望成功,
　　却又惧怕失败。
　　
　　Yet we can be.
　　Those who cultivate
　　Their natural instincts,
　　Who set their sights
　　On the good, the admirable, the excellent,
　　And believe they can achieve it
　　Will find their confidence rewarded
　　And in the process,
　　They discover the true identity
　　Of him who looks back from the mirror.
　　
　　然而,我们可以成功。
　　那些发展
　　自身天性的人,
　　他们将视线
　　投向美善、可敬、卓越的一切,
　　并相信自己可以成功,
　　他们的信心将获得回报。
　　而在此过程中,
　　当他们回望镜中,他们
　　发觉了自己的真实身份。
