We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. 我们竭尽全力想让我们的儿女们过得更好，而结果却是适得其反。 For my grandchildren, I d know better. 对我的孙辈们，我就明智得多了。 Id really like for them to know about hand-me-down clothes and home-made ice cream and leftover meatloaf. 我真的希望他们能够了解什么是兄长传下来的旧衣服，家制的冰淇淋，以及吃剩的肉糕。 I really would. 我真的希望。 My cherished grandson, 我的宝贝孙子， I hope you learn humility by surviving failure and that you learn to be honest even when no one is looking. 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 , 我希望你能学会自己叠被子， and mow the lawn and wash the car-and I hope nobody gives you a brand-new car when you are sixteen. 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, 假如你至少有一次机会看见小牛犊出生， |
