My Generation 我的世代
I'm part of a fearful generation, and I refuse to believe that I can change the world. 我是这个畏缩世代的一部分，而我不愿相信我可以改变世界。
I realize this may be a shock, but an independent Scotland will thrive is a lie. 我了解这可能是个打击，但独立的苏格兰将会繁荣是个谎言。
"The U.K. is Better Together," “联合王国团结起来会更好”，
so in thirty years, I'll tell my children I vote with my head. 因此三十年后，我会告诉我的孩子我深思后才投票。
I have my priority straight: the Union is more important to me than Scotland. 我将我优先考虑的要事直接表述出来：联合王国对我而言远比苏格兰重要。
As the experts tell me, 30 years from now, I would regret voting "Yes." 正如专家们告诉我的，从现在起三十年，我会后悔投“赞成票”。
I do not believe that I need to live in a country of my own making. 我不相信我需要住在一个由我自己决定的国家。
In the future, the Union will prioritize Scotland's needs, 在未来，联合王国将优先考虑苏格兰的需求，
and I completely reject any suggestion that Westminster only wants us for our resources. 而我完全否认任何英国国会只为了我们的资源而需要我们的说词。
The fact is my generation is fearful and unambitious. 事实是我的世代都畏畏缩缩且毫无野心。
It is foolish to presume that we need change. 擅自主张我们需要改变是愚蠢的。
Or is it? We need change. 或者真是这样吗？我们需要改变。
It is foolish to presume that my generation is fearful and unambitious. 认为我的世代都畏畏缩缩又没野心是愚蠢的。
The fact is Westminster only wants us for our resources, 事实是英国国会只因为我们的资源需要我们，
and I completely reject any suggestion that the Union will prioritize Scotland's needs. 而且我完全驳回任何联合王国将会优先考虑苏格兰需求的说词。
In the future, I need to live in a country of my own making. 未来，我需要住在一个由我自己决定的国家。
I do not believe that 30 years from now I would regret voting "Yes" as the experts tell me. 我不相信从今以后的三十年，我会像专家所告诉我的那样，后悔投下“赞成票”。
Scotland is more important to me than the Union. I have my priority straight. 苏格兰对我而言远比联合王国重要。我将我优先考虑的要事直接表述出来。
I vote with my head. 我是深思熟虑过投票的。
So in 30 years, I'll tell my children "The U.K. is Better Together" is a lie. 所以三十年后，我会告诉我的孩子们“联合王国团结起来会更好”是个谎言。
An independent Scotland will thrive. I realize this may be a shock, but I can change the world, 独立的苏格兰将会兴盛。我知道这或许是个冲击，但我可以改变这世界，
and I refuse to believe that I'm part of a fearful generation. 而我拒绝相信我是一个畏缩世代的一部分。
