世界很大,也很温柔,欢迎你,我的宝贝女儿
The World Is Vast and Gentle—Welcome, My Precious Daughter
新年伊始,我亲爱的女儿,欢迎你来到这个世界。
At the beginning of this new year, my beloved daughter, welcome to the world.
新年伊始,我亲爱的女儿,欢迎你来到这个世界。
At the beginning of this new year, my beloved daughter, welcome to the world.
十一年前,你哥哥出生时,我在医院的深夜里,用QQ日志上给他写了一封信,记录下当时的心境和对他的期许。十年后,他在手机上看到了那封信。我问他看到了什么?他说,看到了我对他的爱。这种穿越时空的感觉很奇妙。
Eleven years ago, when your brother was born, I wrote him a letter late at night in the hospital and posted it in my QQ journal, recording what I felt and what I hoped for him. Ten years later, he found that letter on his phone. I asked him what he saw in it. He said he saw my love for him. There was something wondrous about that feeling of reaching across time.
今天,我也想给你写下一封信,希望在未来的某一天,你能看到。
Today, I want to write a letter to you as well, in the hope that one day in the future you will read it.
这个世界很大,也很丰富。山川大地、江山湖海、鸟兽鱼虫,据说苹果的品种就有7500多种。这个世界广阔而神奇,我们穷尽一生,也无法完全体验完它的所有美好。
This world is vast and abundant. It holds mountains and plains, rivers and seas, birds, animals, fish, and insects. There are said to be more than 7,500 varieties of apples alone. The world is so expansive and marvelous that even a lifetime is not enough to experience all its beauty.
这个世界变化很快。在我三十多年的人生里,科技的进步让人感觉像是穿越了几个时代。现在,我们处于AI智能时代的初期,人类甚至在探索如何登陆火星。等你长大,科技会有更大的发展,创造更多意想不到的奇迹。生活会更便捷,人可以去到更远的地方,也可以活得更丰富和长久。
This world changes quickly. In my thirty-odd years of life, technological progress has made it feel as though we have passed through several different eras. We are now at the beginning of the age of artificial intelligence, and humanity is even exploring how to land on Mars. By the time you grow up, technology will have advanced still further and created wonders we cannot yet imagine. Life will be more convenient; people will travel farther and live richer, longer lives.
这个世界既广阔又渺小。巍峨的高山、无边的海洋,人类在大自然面前是微小的存在,但在浩瀚的宇宙中,一切又是那么的微不足道。
This world is both immense and tiny. Before towering mountains and boundless oceans, humanity is small; yet within the vast universe, all of it seems insignificant in turn.
这个世界既多变又永恒。无论时空如何变迁,有些东西始终不会改变,比如爱、好奇心、善良、勇气。
This world is both ever-changing and enduring. However time and space may shift, some things never change: love, curiosity, kindness, and courage.
这个世界既复杂又简单。社会规则、利益纷争、科技更迭,生活中总会有困难和迷惑。但到头来,我们会发现,人生最简单的幸福,往往就是健康和平安,是每天清晨的阳光,是夜空中闪烁的星辰,是一年四季,一日三餐,是和家人最日常的陪伴。
This world is both complex and simple. Social rules, conflicts of interest, and technological change ensure that life will always contain difficulty and confusion. Yet in the end, we discover that life's simplest happiness often lies in health and safety, in the morning sunlight, in stars gleaming across the night sky, in the turning seasons and our three daily meals, and in the ordinary companionship of family.
宝贝,我希望你是一个热爱生活的人。读书、画画、唱歌、运动、旅行、喝茶、品尝美食、种花养猫等等,人生难得一回,积极美好的事物,都是值得细细品味的。
My precious girl, I hope you will be someone who loves life. Reading, painting, singing, exercising, traveling, drinking tea, enjoying good food, growing flowers, raising a cat—life comes only once, and everything positive and beautiful deserves to be savored.
热爱生活,才能激发出内心的善意和热情,才能享受人生的过程。人生是一场长跑,只有放轻松。做到轻而不浮、松而不懈,才能跑完全程。
Only by loving life can we awaken the kindness and passion within us and enjoy the journey. Life is a long-distance race, and we can finish it only by staying relaxed—lighthearted without becoming frivolous, and at ease without losing resolve.
你要相信,善意是一种可以创造的力量。心怀善意,往往就能收获善意。你和世界的关系,就是你和自己的关系。
Believe that kindness is a creative force. When we carry kindness in our hearts, we often receive kindness in return. Your relationship with the world is your relationship with yourself.
希望你永远要选择成为更好的自己。支撑你变得越来越好的,是你内心的坚定意志、良好的修养、正直的品行,以及不断地反思和成长。人生最大的贵人,首先是努力向上的自己。其次,是那些值得你去珍惜的人,以及不断滋养你成长的环境。
I hope you will always choose to become a better version of yourself. What will support your continual growth is your inner determination, good character, integrity, and continual reflection and learning. The greatest benefactor in your life is first the part of you that strives to improve. Next come the people worth cherishing and the environments that continue to nourish your growth.
最后,人生有酸甜苦辣、悲欢离合,不可能一帆风顺,但山有顶峰,湖有彼岸,在人生漫漫长途中,万物皆有回转,当觉得余味苦涩,请你相信,一切终有回甘。
Finally, life contains every flavor, along with joy and sorrow, meeting and parting. It can never be entirely smooth. Yet every mountain has a summit and every lake another shore. Along life's long journey, all things eventually turn. When the aftertaste feels bitter, please believe that sweetness will return in the end.
宝贝,人从小就开始学习爱,可是擅长的却始终是被爱。直到成为父母,人才真正学会了爱。是哥哥和你的到来,让我有机会更新对于世界的感觉。
My precious girl, we begin learning love when we are small, yet for a long time what we know best is how to be loved. Only when we become parents do we truly learn how to love. The arrival of your brother and you has given me the chance to renew the way I experience the world.
谢谢你,宝贝。
Thank you, my precious girl.
刚写到这里,出生12个小时的你,在婴儿车里醒来了,轻轻地啼哭。月嫂奶奶给你换好了纸尿裤,我用手捂着你凉凉的小脚丫和小手,轻轻地为你按摩。你竟然睁开了眼睛,静静地盯着我,嘴角微微扬起,仿佛对我笑了。
Just as I reached this point in the letter, you—twelve hours old—woke in your bassinet and began to cry softly. Your nanny changed your diaper, and I cupped your cool little feet and hands in mine and gently massaged them. You opened your eyes, gazed quietly at me, and raised the corners of your mouth slightly, as though you were smiling at me.
以前,我总感觉冥冥之中,我会有一个女儿。如今,这种感觉似乎得到了验证,也许,那并不是直觉,而是一种命中注定的缘分。而你,正是我命中注定的“小情人”。
I used to have a feeling that somehow I would one day have a daughter. Now that feeling seems to have been confirmed. Perhaps it was not intuition, but a bond destined to be—and you are the “little sweetheart” I was destined to meet.
爱你的爸爸
Dad, who loves you
