这些就是我对你的期望 My cherished grandson, I hope you learn humility by surviving failure and that you learn to be honest even when no one is looking. 我的宝贝孙子，我希望你在经受失败的考验之后能学会谦卑，也希望你能学会诚实，即使在没有人注视你的时候。 I hope you learn to make your bed and mow the lawn and wash the car-and I hope nobody gives you a brand-new car when you are sixteen. 我希望你能学会自己叠被子，自己刈草坪，自己洗车--我还希望在你满十六岁时没有人送给你一辆崭新的轿车。 It will be good if at least one time you can see a baby calf born, and you have a good friend to be with you if you ever have to put your old dog to sleep. 假如你至少有一次机会看见小牛犊出生，假如你不得不为你的老狗送终，那时有一位好朋友在场为你作伴--那样该有多好啊! I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. 我希望你能为自己的所信仰与人斗得眼青脸肿。 I hope you have to walk uphill with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. 我希望你能和朋友们一起爬山，而在你所生活的城市里做这项运动不会有什么危险。 |
