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.
我要对我的孩子们承诺：扎卡里，我永远不会屈服，因为我从你那里得到了勇气。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。
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。
