in the first place for those on whose smiles and welfare all our happiness depends,
从日常生活方面来讲，我们是为了同胞而活着—最重要的是这样 一些人，他们的微笑和幸福决定了我们所有的幸福；

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men，living and dead，and that I must exert myself in order to give in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.
每天我无数次地告诫自己，他人的劳作，包括那些活着的人和已故的人，支持着我全部的精神生活和物质生活。因此，我一定要全心全意地付出，达到和他们相同的高度，来回报我已经获得并且仍在汲取的恩惠。

In human freedom in the philosophical sense I am definitely a disbeliever.
