这个词现在看起来不简单
This word is not at all that simple
每个人都在工作

人们已经忘记了生活的其他目的

都说金钱不是目的
All said money is not the purpose
但是没有金钱时

生活的目的很难实现
The purpose of life is hard to achieve

没有金钱的人群

我体会得到他们的感受

不是那么的好受

并不是所有没有金钱的人

那些理论翻来覆去

我把事情说出来
I speak out things
这样大家心里的那点事情就公开了
So the thought inside people published
大家可以讨论
People can discuss
因为有人会替他们想
Because someone can think for them
替他们说
Speak for them

有些事情说出来比较好
Sometime it's better to speak out
有些事情不能说
Sometime it's better to keep quiet
说出来就不灵了
It wouldn't work if you speak out

但是没有什么真的交流
But there is no real communication
说完了就完了
Talking stops things stops
也该回家了
Its' time going home
诸如此类
Something like that

有人说话
Somebody is talking
有时是在大学的讲台上
Sometime is on the university rostrum
他们侃侃而谈
They speak like they know everything
激情四溅豪情万丈
Speak with fervour and enthusiasm
他们想使听众确信
They want the audience to believe
有时候他们自己都相信了
Sometime they made themselves to believe
这个是一件很了不起的事情
This is something great
你自己可以说服你自己
You can convince yourself

忙碌的人总是忙碌的
Busy people always busy
他们没有时间想这些事情
They don't have time to think about this
时间飞逝
Time flies
转眼就老了
You become old the moment you turn your eyes
