今日引语推荐（To kill a mocking bird）
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. Courage is fighting when you know your defeat is inevitable, when you stand up against the tide, knowing full well that you will be swept away. It’s the human spirit’s refusal to surrender to hopelessness, a testament to our resilience and will.”
“我想让你看到什么是真正的勇气，而不是让你认为勇气就是手里拿着枪的男人。真正的勇气是在你知道自己在一开始就已经被打败的情况下，仍然开始并且无论如何都坚持到底。是在你知道失败不可避免时仍然奋战，是你深知自己将被冲走时仍迎着潮水站起来。这是人类精神拒绝向绝望投降的证明，是我们韧性和意志的见证。”
“The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience. It’s that little voice inside, guiding our actions, challenging our beliefs, and urging us to do what is right, even when everyone else chooses to look away. Our conscience doesn’t care for the popular opinion or the comfortable path; it demands integrity, honesty, and courage. It is the quiet whisper of morality that speaks louder than any crowd, reminding us that true justice starts from within.”
“唯一不遵循多数规则的是人的良心。它是内心的那个小声音，引导我们的行动，挑战我们的信仰，敦促我们做正确的事，即使所有人都选择视而不见。我们的良心不关心流行的意见或舒适的道路；它要求正直、诚实和勇气。它是道德的低语，比任何人群的喧嚣都要响亮，提醒我们真正的正义始于内心。”
