To my children, I make this pledge: I will not give in, Zachary, because I draw my courage from you. Your silly giggle gives me hope; your gentle prayers give me strength; and you, my child, give me the reason to say to America,"You are at risk." And I will not rest, Max, until I have done all I can to make your world safe. I will seek a place where intimacy is not the prelude to suffering. I will not hurry to leave you, my children, but when I go, I pray that you will not suffer shame on my account.
To all within the sound of my voice, I appeal: Learn with me the lessons of history and of grace, so my children will not be afraid to say the word "AIDS" when I am gone. Then, their children and yours may not need to whisper it at all.
God bless the children, and God bless us all.
Good night.

我请求听我演讲的所有人:和我一起,牢记历史的教训和慈悲,为的是在我谢世以后,我的孩子不再惧怕说艾滋这个词 。最后,他们的孩子和你们的孩子根本不需要再提到这个词 。
愿上帝保佑孩子们,保佑我们所有的人 。
晚安 。 。你那天真无邪的咯咯笑声给我带来了希望;你的温和的祈祷给我力量;你,我的孩子,告诉我你对美国说你面临危险的理由 。马克斯,我要尽自己的一切可能,让你生活在安全的世界里,在这之前我永远不会停息 。我要寻找这样一个地方,在那里,肌肤相亲不再预示着遭受苦难 。我的孩子们,我不会匆匆离开你们 。但是,当我离去时,我要祈祷,让你们不要因为我蒙受羞辱 。
