I am a flower.
我是花。
Yes, I'm beautiful. I've heard it before and it never grows old.
是的，我很美。人們常這麼說，而且從來不會變老。
I'm worshiped for my looks, my scent, my looks.
人們崇拜我的長相，我的氣味，我的容貌。
But here's the thing. Life starts with me.
但是事情是這樣的，生活由我而起。
You see I feed people. Every fruit comes from me.
你看，我在哺育人類。每個水果來自於我。
Every potato. Me.
每個土豆，來自於我。
Every kernel of corn. Me. Every grain of rice. Me.
每粒玉米，來自於我。每顆麥子也來自於我。
Me, me, me, I know. But it's true.
我，我，我，我知道，但這是真的。
And sometimes I feed their souls.
有時人類的心靈也會需要我。
I am their words when they have none.
當你無法表達時候，我可以幫你說出。
I say “I love you,” without a sound. “I'm sorry,” without a voice.
我說“我愛你”不帶一個聲響。“我很抱歉，”沒有一個聲音。
I inspire the greatest of them.
我是啟發偉人的源泉。
Painters, poets, pattern makers. I've been a muse to them all.
畫家，詩人，模型師。我一直是他們的繆斯。
But in my experience, people underestimate the power of a pretty little flower.
但以我的經驗，人們低估了一朵漂亮小花的力量。
Because their life does start with me and it could end without me.
因為他們的生活確實由我而起，也可以由我而終。
