一位偉大而又平凡的父親,一封情真意切的信。父親的忠告,送給他三歲大的愛子,同時也啟示所有人:人生是一段美妙的旅程,雖然會有陰雨,重要的是學會愛,學會享受生活,從而快樂一生。
親愛的塞斯,
Dear Seth,
[1] 你現在僅僅3歲,此刻你還不識字,更不用說讓你去理解我接下來想在這封信里對你所說的話了。但是我已經苦思冥想了好久,關于你即將面臨的人生以及我的生活,我反思我所學會的;思考一個父親的職責,力圖讓你為未來歲月中即將面臨的困難做好充分準備。
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,當時機成熟,我希望你能在我與你分享的內容當中找尋到些許的智慧和價值。
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,生命還尚未開始摧殘你,沒有在你的人生道路上布置失望、傷心、孤獨、掙扎和苦痛。你還沒有被漫長的乏味工作,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.
