給愛(ài)子的信

一位偉大而又平凡的父親，一封情真意切的信。父親的忠告，送給他三歲大的愛(ài)子，同時(shí)也啟示所有人：人生是一段美妙的旅程，雖然會(huì)有陰雨，重要的是學(xué)會(huì)愛(ài)，學(xué)會(huì)享受生活，從而快樂(lè)一生。

　　親愛(ài)的塞斯,
　　Dear Seth,

　　[1] 你現(xiàn)在僅僅3歲，此刻你還不識(shí)字，更不用說(shuō)讓你去理解我接下來(lái)想在這封信里對(duì)你所說(shuō)的話了。但是我已經(jīng)苦思冥想了好久，關(guān)于你即將面臨的人生以及我的生活，我反思我所學(xué)會(huì)的；思考一個(gè)父親的職責(zé)，力圖讓你為未來(lái)歲月中即將面臨的困難做好充分準(zhǔn)備。
　　You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But I ve been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I ve learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years.

　　[2] 你今天并不能理解這封信的含義，但是某一天，當(dāng)時(shí)機(jī)成熟，我希望你能在我與你分享的內(nèi)容當(dāng)中找尋到些許的智慧和價(jià)值。
　　You won t be able to understand this letter today, but someday, when you re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.

　　[3] 你還很年輕，生命還尚未開(kāi)始摧殘你，沒(méi)有在你的人生道路上布置失望、傷心、孤獨(dú)、掙扎和苦痛。你還沒(méi)有被漫長(zhǎng)的乏味工作，被日常生活的打擊搞得筋疲力盡。
　　You are young, and life has yet to take its toll on you, to throw disappointments and heartaches and loneliness and struggles and pain into your path. You have not been worn down yet by long hours of thankless work, by the slings and arrows of everyday life.
