We can rebuild our hope. Just as Nixon said so, our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity. So let us seize it, not in fear, but in gladness. Just have a little faith. Just try to remember that everything will be alright. We will find what we are looking for in the future.虽然地震毁掉了我们的家园，但是我们可以重建一个新的家。我们可以重建希望。就像尼克松所说的那样：命运给以我们的不是失望之酒，而是机遇之杯。是的，让我们毫无害怕，满心愉悦地去操作独霸命运吧。只要有信心，只要记住最后一切都会变好。我们最终会找到自己想要的。Wish the perished victims rest in peace and the survivors live in sprits.愿逝者安息生者坚强。
