Well, to go back to our original story, the parents have panicked. They’ve locked all the doors.

They’ve kitted out the house with CCTV cameras. They’re watching all of us.
他们在房子外面装上闭路相机，他们监视着我们。
They’ve dug a basement, and they’ve built a spy center to try and run algorithms and figure out which ones of us are troublesome,

Well, is that a fairy tale or a living nightmare? Some fairy tales have happy endings. Some don’t.

但我们的世界不是童话。世界可能比我们会承认的更加残酷。
Equally, it could be better than we’ve been led to believe,

but either way, we have to start seeing it exactly as it is, with all of its problems,
不过无论是哪种，我们需要客观的看到世界的真相，世界的问题，
because it’s only by seeing it with all of its problems that we’ll be able to fix them
因为只有通过清楚地看见世界的真相和问题，我们才能解决这些问题，
and live in a world in which we can all be happily ever after. Thank you very much.
才能在世界上活的更美好。谢谢大家！
