Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view;
We spend more, but enjoy less;
We have bigger houses, but smaller families;
We have more compromises, but less time;
We have more knowledge, but less judgment;
We have more medicines, but less health;
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values;
We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much;
We reached the Moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;
We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space;
We have higher income, but less morals;
These are times with more liberty, but less joy;
We have much more food, but less nutrition;
These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase;
These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes;
That's why I propose, that as of today.
今天的我們，有了更高的建築、更寬的公路，性情卻更急躁，眼界也更狹窄；
我們花費的更多，享受卻更少了；
我們的房子大了，家卻更小了；
我們有了更多的妥協，時間卻更少了；
我們的知識更多了，判斷力卻日漸下降；
我們的藥品日益豐富，健康卻不盡如人意；
我們的財富不斷累積，但價值慢慢縮減；
我們說的更多，愛的卻少了，仇恨也更多了；
我們能往返月球，卻發現穿梭於街道與鄰居接觸是那麽的難；
我們征服了外太空，卻征服不了我們的心；
我們的收入多了，道德意識卻少了；
這是一個自由的時代，但能享受的快樂少了；
我們有了更多的食物，營養卻少了；
如今每個家庭都有雙份薪水，離婚率也越來越高；
如今的住房越來越高檔，破碎的家庭也越來越多。
