生命不是一场竞赛(全世界最感人的家信)(双语) 一位伟大而又平凡的父亲，一封情真意切的信。父亲的忠告，送给他三岁大的爱子，同时也启示所有人：人生是一段美妙的旅程，虽然会有阴雨，重要的是学会爱，学会享受生活，从而快乐一生。 Dear Seth, 亲爱的塞斯, [1] You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you cant read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But Ive been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what Ive learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years. [1] 你现在仅仅3岁，此刻你还不识字，更不用说让你去理解我接下来想在这封信里对你所说的话了。但关于你即将面临的人生以及我至今的人生，我已经思索良久，我反思我所学会的；思考一个父亲的职责，力图让你为未来岁月中即将面临的困难做好充分准备。 [2] You wont be able to understand this letter today, but someday, when youre ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you. [2] 你今天并不能理解这封信的含义，但是某一天，当时机成熟，我希望你能在我与你分享的内容当中找寻到些许的智慧和价值。 [3] 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. [3] 你还很年轻，生命还尚未开始摧残你，没有在你的人生道路上布置失望、伤心、孤独、挣扎和苦痛。你还没有被漫长的乏味工作、被日常生活的打击搞得筋疲力尽。 [4] For this, be thankful. You are at a wonderful stage of life. You have many wonderful stages of life still to come, but they are not without their costs and perils. [4] 因此，谢天谢地吧。你正处在人生一个美妙的阶段。还有很多美妙的阶段会来到你面前，但是都不是唾手可得的，你都得付出代价，经历风险。 [5] I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what Ive learned. As with any advice, take it with a grain of salt. What works for me might not work for you. [5] 我希望通过分享一些我所学到的最好的道理能帮助你走好人生路。至于任何建议，倒不必全盘接受，因为适合我的并不一定适用于你。 Life Can Be Cruel 生活会很残酷 [6] There will be people in your life who wont be very nice. Theyll tease you because youre different, or for no good reason. They might try to bully you or hurt you. [6] 你的生活中一定会有并不友好的人。他们会嘲弄你，因为你与众不同，或根本不为任何原因。他们可能会欺负你或者伤害你。 [7] Theres not much you can do about these people except to learn
