A letter to our daughter

一封給我們女兒的信

Dear August,

親愛的八月：

Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.

歡迎來到這個(gè)世界！我和你媽媽迫不及待地想要知道你會(huì)成長為一個(gè)怎樣的人。

When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in — a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality.

你姐姐出生的時(shí)候，我們給她寫了一封信，告訴她我們希望她在怎樣的一個(gè)世界里成長。現(xiàn)在，你也將要在這個(gè)我們希冀中的世界里成長。在這個(gè)世界里，教育更完善，疾病更少，社會(huì)更團(tuán)結(jié)，也更公平。

We wrote that with all the advances in science and technology, your generation should live dramatically better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen.

我們寫道，因?yàn)榭茖W(xué)和技術(shù)的進(jìn)步，你們這一代人的生活應(yīng)當(dāng)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)好于我們，我們有責(zé)任將這個(gè)愿景實(shí)現(xiàn)。

Even though headlines often focus on what's wrong, we still believe these positive trends will win out. We're optimists about your generation and the future.

雖然人們經(jīng)常關(guān)注負(fù)面消息，但我們?nèi)韵嘈胚M(jìn)步的趨勢會(huì)占上風(fēng)。我們對(duì)你們這一代人、對(duì)未來都十分樂觀。

But rather than write about growing up, we want to talk about childhood. The world can be a serious place. That's why it's important to make time to go outside and play.

不過，相較于成長的話題，我們還是更想跟你說說童年。世界終究是個(gè)嚴(yán)肅的地方，所以抓緊時(shí)間出去玩耍很重要。

You will be busy when you're older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in your bucket now.

一旦長大，你就會(huì)變得很忙。所以我希望你能盡情地去嗅嗅所有的花朵，把你喜歡的葉子都放進(jìn)小桶里。

I hope you read your favorite Dr. Seuss books so many times you start inventing your own stories about the Vipper of Vipp.

我希望你能翻來覆去讀你最愛的蘇斯博士的書，直到你靈感涌動(dòng)，開始創(chuàng)造自己關(guān)于Vipper of Vipp的故事。

注：蘇斯博士（Dr. Seuss），二十世紀(jì)卓越的兒童文學(xué)家、教育學(xué)家，一生創(chuàng)作了許多在西方家喻戶曉的早教作品。Vipper of Vipp，是蘇斯博士寫的Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!一書中的角色。

I hope you ride the carousel with Max until you've tamed every color horse.

我希望你跟Max（扎克伯格的大女兒，2015年11月出生）一起騎旋轉(zhuǎn)木馬，直到你們馴服每一匹彩色馬為止。

I hope you run as many laps around our living room and yard as you want.

我希望你可以在我們的客廳和后院里自由奔跑，想跑多少圈就跑多少圈。

And then I hope you take a lot of naps. I hope you're a great sleeper.

我還希望你能好好睡覺，我希望你是一個(gè)能睡的小姑娘。
