父母給女兒的信英文範文

　　每個孩子都是父母心中特別的存在。父母給女兒的書信，飽含著對女兒深深地愛，值得大家品讀。下面小編整理了，歡迎閱讀。

　　篇一

　　Dear daughter,

　　Though not knowing how you will react when receiving this letter, I do want to tell of my unfeigned thoughts. First of all, you’re my only child, the one I love most and closet to me in the world. Your birth is like the sunshine in my life. Cute and lovely, you’re an angel the god gives me. Since then, I made up my mind to train you as a distinguished person. I hope you can understand my ideas.

　　Firstly, grade is of vital importance. Why I force you to get a high score? The colleges admit talents based on scores. To be a civil servant, you ought to pass the exam with a good grade. The society is fiercely competitive and people are measured by the score everywhere. If intending to take up an occupation, you must get an excellent mark in the entrance exam. Otherwise, while you have the ability, you have no chance to show it. Thus, the study is necessary for you.

　　Even though I emphasize the essentiality of grade, it doesn’t mean that the extracurricular life is unimportant. On the contrary, it’s significant. You do need learn something else besides schoolwork, such as the piano and the violin, to rich spiritual life. When at university, I was self-contemptuous because I could do nothing except study. During the colorful activities, I only watched others have fun, sad and lonely. As a consequence, I do not want my dearest daughter to follow the same old disastrous road.

　　Maybe, you still don’t understand me, but I’ll continue what I always have been doing. My honey, thank you for the laughter you show me. Thank you for the delightful time you spend with me. Do remember that I love you forever.

　　Sincerely,

　　Dad

　　篇二

　　Dear Max,

　　Your mother and I don't yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future. Your new life is full of promise, and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore it fully. You've already given us a reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in. Like all parents, we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today.

　　While headlines often focus on what's wrong, in many ways the world is getting better. Health is improving. Poverty is shrinking. Knowledge is growing. People are connecting. Technological progress in every field means your life should be dramatically better than ours today.

　　We will do our part to make this happen, not only because we love you, but also because we have a moral responsibility to all children in the next generation.

　　We believe all lives have equal value, and that includes the many more people who will live in future generations than live today. Our society has an obligation to invest now to improve the lives of all those coming into this world, not just those already here.

　　But right now, we don't always collectively direct our resources at the biggest opportunities and problems your generation will face.

　　Consider disease. Today we spend about 50 times more as a society treating people who are sick than we invest in research so you won't get sick in the first place.

　　Medicine has only been a real science for less than 100 years, and we've already seen complete cures for some diseases and good progress for others. As technology accelerates, we have a real shot at preventing, curing or managing all or most of the rest in the next 100 years. Today, most people die from five things -- heart disease, cancer, stroke, neurodegenerative and infectious diseases -- and we can make faster progress on these and other problems. Once we recognize that your generation and your children's generation may not have to suffer from disease, we collectively have a responsibility to tilt our investments a bit more towards the future to make this reality. Your mother and I want to do our part.

　　Curing disease will take time. Over short periods of five or ten years, it may not seem like we're making much of a difference. But over the long term, seeds planted now will grow, and one day, you or your children will see what we can only imagine: a world without suffering from disease.

　　There are so many opportunities just like this. If society focuses more of its energy on these great challenges, we will leave your generation a much better world.

　　Our hopes for your generation focus on two ideas: advancing human potentialand promoting equality.

　　Advancing human potentialis about pushing the boundaries on how great a human life can be.

　　Can you learn and experience 100 times more than we do today?

　　Can our generation cure disease so you live much longer and healthier lives?

　　Can we connect the world so you have access to every idea, person and opportunity?

　　Can we harness more clean energy so you can invent things we can't conceive of today while protecting the environment?

　　Can we cultivate entrepreneurship so you can build any business and solve any challenge to grow peace and prosperity?

　　Promoting equalityis about making sure everyone has access to these opportunities -- regardless of the nation, families or circumstances they are born into.

　　Our society must do this not only for justice or charity, but for the greatness of human progress.

　　Today we are robbed of the potential so many have to offer. The only way to achieve our full potential is to channel the talents, ideas and contributions of every person in the world.

　　Can our generation eliminate poverty and hunger?

　　Can we provide everyone with basic healthcare?

　　Can we build inclusive and welcoming communities?

　　Can we nurture peaceful and understanding relationships between people of all nations? Can we truly empower everyone -- women, children, underrepresented minorities,

　　immigrants and the unconnected?

　　If our generation makes the right investments, the answer to each of these questions can be yes -- and hopefully within your lifetime.

　　This mission -- advancing human potential and promoting equality -- will require a new approach for all working towards these goals.

　　We must make long term investments over 25, 50 or even 100 years.The greatest challenges require very long time horizons and cannot be solved by short term thinking.

　　We must engage directly with the people we serve.We can't empower people if we don't understand the needs and desires of their communities.

　　We must build technology to make change.Many institutions invest money in these

　　challenges, but most progress comes from productivity gains through innovation.

　　We must participate in policy and advocacy to shape debates.Many institutions are unwilling to do this, but progress must be supported by movements to be sustainable.

　　We must back the strongest and most independent leaders in each field.Partnering with experts is more effective for the mission than trying to lead efforts ourselves.

　　We must take risks today to learn lessons for tomorrow.We're early in our learning and many things we try won't work, but we'll listen and learn and keep improving.

　　Our experience with personalized learning, internet access, and community education and health has shaped our philosophy.

　　Our generation grew up in classrooms where we all learned the same things at the same pace regardless of our interests or needs.

　　Your generation will set goals for what you want to become -- like an engineer, health

　　worker, writer or community leader. You'll have technology that understands how you learn best and where you need to focus. You'll advance quickly in subjects that interest you most, and get as much help as you need in your most challenging areas. You'll explore topics that aren't even offered in schools today. Your teachers will also have better tools and data to help you achieve your goals.

　　Even better, students around the world will be able to use personalized learning tools over the internet, even if they don't live near good schools. Of course it will take more than

　　technology to give everyone a fair start in life, but personalized learning can be one scalable way to give all children a better education and more equal opportunity.

　　We're starting to build this technology now, and the results are already promising. Not only do students perform better on tests, but they gain the skills and confidence to learn anything they want. And this journey is just beginning. The technology and teaching will rapidly improve every year you're in school.

　　Your mother and I have both taught students and we've seen what it takes to make this work. It will take working with the strongest leaders in education to help schools around the world adopt personalized learning. It will take engaging with communities, which is why we're starting in our San Francisco Bay Area community. It will take building new technology and trying new ideas. And it will take making mistakes and learning many lessons before achieving these goals.

　　But once we understand the world we can create for your generation, we have a

　　responsibility as a society to focus our investments on the future to make this reality.

　　Together, we can do this. And when we do, personalized learning will not only help students in good schools, it will help provide more equal opportunity to anyone with an internet connection.

　　Many of the greatest opportunities for your generation will come from giving everyone access to the internet.

　　People often think of the internet as just for entertainment or communication. But for the majority of people in the world, the internet can be a lifeline.

　　It provides education if you don't live near a good school. It provides health information on how to avoid diseases or raise healthy children if you don't live near a doctor. It provides financial services if you don't live near a bank. It provides access to jobs and opportunities if you don't live in a good economy.

　　The internet is so important that for every 10 people who gain internet access, about one person is lifted out of poverty and about one new job is created.

　　Yet still more than half of the world's population -- more than 4 billion people -- don't have access to the internet.

　　If our generation connects them, we can lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. We can also help hundreds of millions of children get an education and save millions of lives by helping people avoid disease.

　　This is another long term effort that can be advanced by technology and partnership. It will take inventing new technology to make the internet more affordable and bring access to

　　unconnected areas. It will take partnering with governments, non-profits and companies. It will take engaging with communities to understand what they need. Good people will have different views on the best path forward, and we will try many efforts before we succeed.

　　But together we can succeed and create a more equal world.

　　Technology can't solve problems by itself. Building a better world starts with building strong and healthy communities.

　　Children have the best opportunities when they can learn. And they learn best when they're healthy.

　　Health starts early -- with loving family, good nutrition and a safe, stable environment. Children who face traumatic experiences early in life often develop less healthy minds and bodies. Studies show physical changes in brain development leading to lower cognitive ability.

　　Your mother is a doctor and educator, and she has seen this firsthand.

　　If you have an unhealthy childhood, it's difficult to reach your full potential.

　　If you have to wonder whether you'll have food or rent, or worry about abuse or crime, then it's difficult to reach your full potential.

　　If you fear you'll go to prison rather than college because of the color of your skin, or that your family will be deported because of your legal status, or that you may be a victim of violence because of your religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, then it's difficult to reach your full potential.

　　We need institutions that understand these issues are all connected. That's the philosophy of the new type of school your mother is building.

　　By partnering with schools, health centers, parent groups and local governments, and by ensuring all children are well fed and cared for starting young, we can start to treat these inequities as connected. Only then can we collectively start to give everyone an equal opportunity.

　　It will take many years to fully develop this model. But it's another example of how

　　advancing human potential and promoting equality are tightly linked. If we want either, we must first build inclusive and healthy communities.

　　For your generation to live in a better world, there is so much more our generation can do. Today your mother and I are committing to spend our lives doing our small part to help solve these challenges. I will continue to serve as Facebook's CEO for many, many years to come, but these issues are too important to wait until you or we are older to begin this work. By starting at a young age, we hope to see compounding benefits throughout our lives.

　　As you begin the next generation of the Chan Zuckerberg family, we also begin the Chan Zuckerberg Initiativeto join people across the world to advance human potential and promote equality for all children in the next generation. Our initial areas of focus will be personalized learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities.

　　We will give 99% of our Facebook shares -- currently about $45 billion -- during our lives to advance this mission. We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these issues. But we want to do what we can, working alongside many others.

　　We'll share more details in the coming months once we settle into our new family rhythm and return from our maternity and paternity leaves. We understand you'll have many questions about why and how we're doing this.

　　As we become parents and enter this next chapter of our lives, we want to share our deep appreciation for everyone who makes this possible.

　　We can do this work only because we have a strong global community behind us. Building Facebook has created resources to improve the world for the next generation. Every member of the Facebook community is playing a part in this work.

　　We can make progress towards these opportunities only by standing on the shoulders of experts -- our mentors, partners and many incredible people whose contributions built these fields.

　　And we can only focus on serving this community and this mission because we are

　　surrounded by loving family, supportive friends and amazing colleagues. We hope you will have such deep and inspiring relationships in your life too.

　　Max, we love you and feel a great responsibility to leave the world a better place for you and all children. We wish you a life filled with the same love, hope and joy you give us. We can't wait to see what you bring to this world.

　　Love,

　　Mom and Dad

　　篇三

　　Dear Daughter,

　　As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.

　　First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament of what a great well-rounded student you are. Your academic, artistic, and social skills have truly blossomed in the last few years. Whether it is getting the highest grade in Calculus, completing your elegant fashion design, successfully selling your painted running shoes, or becoming one of the top orators in Model United Nations, you have become a talented and accomplished young woman. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.

　　I will always remember the first moment I held you in my arms. I felt a tingling sensation that directly touched my heart. It was an intoxicating feeling I will always have. It must be that “father-daughter connection” which will bind us for life. I will always remember singing you lullaby while I rocked you to sleep. When I put you down, it was always with both relief ***she finally fell asleep!*** and regret ***wishing I could hold you longer***. And I will always remember taking you to the playground, and watching you having so much fun. You were so cute and adorable, and that is why everybody loved you so.

　　You have been a great kid ever since you were born, always quiet, empathetic, attentive, and well-mannered. You were three when we built our house. I remember you quietly followed us every weekend for more than ten hours a day to get building supplies. You put up with that boring period without a fuss, happily ate hamburgers every meal in the car, sang with Barney until you fell asleep. When you went to Sunday Chinese school, you studied hard even though it was no fun for you. I cannot believe how lucky we are as parents to have a daughter like you.

　　You have been an excellent elder sister. Even though you two had your share of fights, the last few years you have become best friends. Your sister loves you so much, and she loves to make you laugh. She looks up to you, and sees you as her role model. As you saw when we departed, she misses you so much. And I know that you miss her just as much. There is nothing like family, and other than your parents, your sister is the one person who you can trust and confide in. She will be the one to take care of you, and the one you must take care of. There is nothing we wish more than that your sisterhood will continue to bond as you grow older, and that you will take care of each other throughout your lives. For the next four years, do have a short video chat with her every few days, and do email her when you have a chance.

　　College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. You often question “what good is this course”. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you : “education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten”. What I mean by that is the materials taught isn’t as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about – this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn’t critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever.

　　Do not fall into the trap of dogma. There is no single simple answer to any question. Remember during your high school debate class, I always asked you to take on the side that you don’t believe in? I did that for a reason -- things rarely “black and white”, and there are always many ways to look at a problem. You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that. This is called “critical thinking”, and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life. This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others. I will always remember when I went to my Ph.D. advisor and proposed a new thesis topic. He said “I don’t agree with you, but I’ll support you.” After the years, I have learned this isn’t just flexibility, it is encouragement of critical thinking, and an empowering style of leadership, and it has become a part of me. I hope it will become a part of you too.

　　Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don’t be trapped in what others think or say. Steve Jobs says when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. In his great speech given at Stanford commencement , he gave the great example where he took calligraphy, and a decade later, it became the basis of the beautiful Macintosh fonts, which later ignited desktop publishing, and brought wonderful tools like Microsoft Word to our lives. His expedition into calligraphy was a dot, and the Macintosh became the connecting line. So don’t worry too much about what job you will have, and don’t be too utilitarian, and if you like Japanese or Korean, go for it, even if your dad thinks “it’s not useful.” ：*** Enjoy picking your dots, and be assured one day you will find your calling, and connect a beautiful curve through the dots.

　　Do your best in classes, but don’t let pressure get to you. Your mother and I have no expectations for your grades. If you graduate and learn something in your four years, we would feel happy. Your Columbia degree will take you far, even if you don’t graduate with honors. So please don’t give yourself pressure。During your last few months in high school, you were so happy because there was little pressure and college applications are finished. But in the past few weeks, we saw you are beginning to worry ***did you know you bite your nails when you are nervous?***. Please don’t be worried. The only thing that matters is that you learned. The only metric you should use is that you tried. Grades are just silly letters that give the vain people something to brag, and the lazy people something to fear. You are too good to be either.

　　Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family. Also, going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience. Pick a few friends and become really close to them – pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. Don’t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. You have developed some real friendships in high school in your last two years, so trust your instinct, and make new friends. You are a genuine and sincere person – anyone would enjoy being your friend, so be confident, outgoing, and pro-active. If you think you like someone, tell her. You have very little to lose. Give people the benefit of the doubt; don’t stereotype and be forgiving. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success – that I am genuine with people and trust them ***unless they do something to lose my trust***. Some people tell me that occasionally I would be taken advantage of. They are right, but I can tell you that that loss is nothing compared to what I gained. In my last 18 years leading people, I have realized that only one thing matters – to gain the trust and respect of others, and to do so, you need to trust and respect others first. Whether it is for management, work, or friendship, this is something you should ponder.

　　Do keep your high school friends, and stay connected to them, but do not use them as substitutes for college friendship, and do not spend too much time with them, because that would eat into your time to make new friends.

　　Start planning for your summers early – what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? What have you learned in college that might change your mind? I think your plan of studying fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get into the right courses. We of course hope you come back to Beijing, but you should go where you think is best for you.

　　Whether it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major, or managing your time, you should take control of your life. In the past, I have helped you quite a bit, whether it is in college application, designing your extracurricular activities, or picking the initial coursework. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver’s seat – this is your life, and you need to be in control. I will always remember the exhilarating feeling in my life – that I got to decide to skip kindergarten, that I got to decide to change to computer science major, that I got to decide to leave academia for Apple, that I got to decide to go to China, that I got to decide to go to Google, and most recently, that I got to decide to start my own business. Being able to decide means you get to live the life that you want to. Life is too short to live the life others do or others want you. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you’ll love it!

　　I told your mom I’m writing this letter, and asked what she wanted me to say. She thought and said: “just ask her to take care of herself.” Simple but deeply caring – that is how your mother is, and that is why you love her so much. In this simple sentence is her hope that you will become independent in the way you take care of yourself – that you will remember to take your medicine, that you will get enough sleep, that you will have a balanced diet, that you will get some exercise, and that you will go see a doctor whenever you don’t feel good. An ancient Chinese proverb says that the most important thing to be nice to your parents is to take care of yourself. This is because your parents love you so much, and that if you are well, they will have comfort. You will understand this one day when you become a mother. But in the meantime, please listen to your mother and take care of yourself.

　　College is the four years where you have:

　　the greatest amount of free time

　　the first chance to be independent

　　the most flexibility to change

　　the lowest risk for making mistakes

　　So please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, evolve yourself into a bi-cultural talent, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges.

　　When I faced the greatest challenge and opportunity in my life in 2005, you gave me a big hug and said “bonne chance”, which means “good luck” and “good courage”. Now I do the same for you. Bonne chance, my angel and princess. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.

　　Love,

　　Dad ***& Mom***
