篇一
advice to a young man 給一位青年的忠告
Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two in the morning. It’s the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday.
謹記，我的年輕人，你們必須工作.不管你是使鋤頭還是用筆，也不管是推手推車還是編記賬簿，也不管你是種地還是編輯報紙，是拍賣師亦或是作家，都必須有一份工作，併為之努力奮鬥.如果仔細觀察周圍的人，你就會發現，那些工作最努力的人最有可能安享晚年而無須去工作.不要害怕超負荷的工作會縮短你的壽命，不足三十歲的年齡，你的承受能力遠不止如此.如果說真的有人過早送命，那完全是因為他們在晚上六點結束工作，卻要在外流連到凌晨兩點才歸家.我的年輕人，正是晚上六點到凌晨兩點的這段時間的生活毀了他們自己.工作會增加你的食慾，工作會使你安然入睡，工作將會使你心滿意足地享受假日.
There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names, even it simply speaks of them as “old So-and-So’s boy”. Nobody likes them; the great, busy world doesn’t know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you.
有的年輕人不工作，但世界並不會因他們自豪。它不知道他們的姓名，甚至簡單地將他們概括為“老令人討厭者的男孩 ” 。沒有人喜歡他們;偉大，繁忙的世界不知道他們在那裡。因此，找出哪些你想成為和做的，脫下你的外衣，把粉塵拋在世界上。越是繁忙的你越是少受傷害，甜蜜將成為您的睡眠，光明和幸福著您的假期，更好地滿足你的意志世界。
篇二
扎克伯格給女兒寫的信
Dear Max,
親愛的麥柯斯，
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.
你媽媽和我還找不到詞彙來描述你給我們帶來的對未來的期望。你的新生活充滿了潛能，我們願你能健康快樂，以讓你充分地去探索研究。你已經給了我們一個理由去反思我們希望你生活的那個世界。
Like all parents, we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today.
像所有的父母一樣，我們想要你長大後的世界比我們今天更好。
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.
新聞總是會報道哪裡出了問題，但在好多方面這個世界正變得越來越好。健康狀況在改善、貧困人群在減少、大家的知識水平在增加，人們彼此的聯絡越來越緊密。技術在各個方面的進步意味著你們這一代的生活會比我們現在有巨大的變化。
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.
我們會盡全力讓這種變化發生，不僅僅是因為我們愛你，更是因為我們有責任去愛護下一代所有的孩子。
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.
我們相信所有的生命都有同等的價值，這裡面保護生活在未來和現在的所有人。我們的社會有義務去為所有即將來到這個世界的生命去投資，而不是僅僅關注眼前和當下。
………………
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.
當下，人們主要死於五種情況——心臟病、癌症、中風、神經退行性和傳染性疾病——我們能做的就是儘快在這些方面取得進展去解決問題。
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.
當我們想到你們這一代和你的孩子們的一代如果可以不再受到這些疾病的困擾，我們就覺得我們有義務去投資讓這種假設在未來變成現實。你的媽媽和我都想盡我們自己的力量。
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.
疾病的治療需要時間。短期比如五年或十年可能都看不出任何差別，但是從長遠來看，種子播下去就會生長，終有一天，你或者你的孩子們會看到一個沒有疾病的世界，而我們卻只能想象那一天的到來了。
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.
有好多機會就是這像是這樣。如果社會能夠把精力關注到這些偉大的挑戰上，那麼我們將會給你們這一代人留下一個更美好的世界。
Our hopes for your generation focus on two ideas: advancing human potential and promoting equality.
我們希望你們這一代關注兩個概念：推進人類潛能和促進平等。
Advancing human potential is about pushing the boundaries on how great a human life can be.
挖掘人類潛能就是開發人類所能到達的極限去發現一個人到底有多大的能耐。
………………
Promoting equality is about making sure everyone has access to these opportunities -- regardless of the nation, families or circumstances they are born into.
推進平等就是要確保每一個人都有平等接近機會的權利，無論在什麼樣的國家、家庭和情況下出生。
………………
Our society must do this not only for justice or charity, but for the greatness of human progress.
我們的社會必須這樣做不僅是為了正義或慈善，而是為了偉大的人類進步。
………………
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.
今天，你媽媽和我將用一生的時間去幫助解決這些挑戰，以作出自己的小小貢獻。我仍將擔任Facebook的CEO，擔任很久，但是這些問題太重要了，我們不能等到你更大了，或者我們更老了才去解決它們。我們希望早早地開始，在有生之年就看到成果。
As you begin the next generation of the Chan Zuckerberg family, we also begin the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to 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.
當你在作為陳-扎克伯格家的下一代開始長大時，我們也開始了一個名為陳-扎克伯格的專案，與全世界的人一起努力，為下一代所有的孩子們，去開發人類潛能並促進公平。在起步之初，我們將把重心放在個性化學習、疾病治療、網際網路連線，以及社群的發展上。
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.
我們將捐出所持有的Facebook 99%的股份——目前市值約450億美元——在我們的有生之年去促進這一使命的完成。我們知道，比起已經在這個領域投入的資源和人力相比，這只是很小的貢獻，但是我們想盡我們所能，與其他人一起努力。
………………
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.
當我們為人父母，開啟我們人生新篇章的時候，我們想要分享我們對所有讓這個奇蹟成為的可能的人們的感恩之情。
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.
我們之所以做這項工作，是因為在我們身後有一個強有力的全球社群。建立Facebook使我們為下一代改善世界擁有了資源，Facebook社群的每一個成員都在發揮作用。
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.
我們之所以能朝著這些機會進步，是因為我們站在專家的肩膀上——我們的導師、伴侶，以及許許多多在這一領域做出貢獻的了不起的人。
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.
我們之所以能服務於這個社群和這一使命，是因為我們周圍有相親相愛的家人、互相支援的朋友、特別棒的同事。我們希望你的人生中也有這樣深刻和鼓舞人心的關係。
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.
麥柯斯，我們愛你，我們覺得為你和所有的孩子們建立一個更好的世界是我們的責任。我們祝願你的一生都充滿了愛、希望、歡樂，就像你帶給我們的那樣。我們已等不及想要看到你會給世界帶來什麼。
Love,
愛你的，
Mom and Dad
媽媽和爸爸
篇三
接受人生的不圓滿
Once a circle missed a wedge.The circle wanted tobe whole，so it went around looking for its missingpiece.But because it was incomplete and thereforecould roll only very slowly，it admired the flowersalong the way.It chatted with worms.It enjoyed thesunshine.It found lots of different pieces，but noneof them fit.So it left them all by the side of the roadand kept on searching.Then one day the circle founda piece that fit perfectly.It was so happy.Now it could be whole，with nothing missing.It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll.Now that it was a perfect circle，itcould roll very fast，too fast to notice the flowers or talking to the worms.When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly，it stopped，left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
從前有一隻圓圈缺了一塊楔子。圓圈想保持完整，便四處尋找失去的那塊楔子。由於它不完整，所以只能滾動很慢。一路上，它對花兒露出羨慕之色。它與蠕蟲談天侃地。它還欣賞到了陽光之美。圓圈找到了許許多多不同的配件，但是沒有一件能完美地與它相配。所以，它將它們統統棄置路旁，繼續尋覓。終於有一天，它找到了一個完美的配件。圓圈是那樣地高興，現在它可以說是完美無缺了。它裝好配件，然後滾動起來。既然它已成了一個完整的圓圈，所以滾動得非常快，快得以至於無暇觀賞花兒，也無暇與蠕蟲傾訴心聲。圓圈快奔急騁，發現眼中的世界變得如此不同，於是，它不禁停了下來，將找到的那個配件留在路旁，又開始了慢慢地滾動。
The lesson of the story，I suggested，was that in some strange sense we are more wholewhen we are missing something.The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man.He will never know what it feels like to yearn，to hope，to nourish his soul with the dream of something better.He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.
我覺得這個故事告訴我們，從某種奇妙意義上講，當我們失去了一些東西時反而感到更加完整。一個擁有一切的人其實在某些方面是個窮人。他永遠也體會不到什麼是渴望、期待以及對美好夢想的感悟。他也永遠不會有這樣一種體驗：一個愛他的人送給他某種他夢寐以求的或者從未擁有過的東西意味什麼。
There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations，who hasbeen brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doingso.There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strongenough to go through a tragedy and survive，who can lose someone and still feel like acomplete person.
人生的完整性在於一個人知道如何面對他的缺陷，如何勇敢地摒棄那些不現實的幻想而又不以此為缺憾。人生的完整性還在於一個男人或女人懂得這樣一個道理：他***她***發現自己能勇敢面對人生悲劇而繼續生存，能夠在失去親人後依然表現出一個完整的人的風範。
Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing.Life is not a spellingbee，where no matter how many words you've gotten right，you're disqualified if you make onemistake.Life ismore like a baseball season，where even the best team loses one-third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance.Our goal is to win more games thanwe lose.
人生不是上帝為譴責我們的缺陷而給我們佈下的陷阱。人生也不是一場拼字遊戲比賽。不管你拼出多少單詞，一旦出現了一個錯誤，你便前功盡棄。人生更像是一個棒球賽季。即使最好的球隊比賽也會輸掉1/3，而最差的球隊也有春風得意的日子。我們的目標就是多贏球，少輸球。
When we accept that imperfection is part of being human，and when we can continue rolling through life andappreciate it，we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only aspireto.That，I believe，is what God asks of us not "Be perfect"，not "Don't even make amistake"，but "Be whole."
我們接受了不完整性是人類本性的一部分，我們不斷地進行人生滾動並能意識到其價值，我們就會完成完整人生的過程。而對於別人來講，這隻能是一個夢想。我相信這就是上帝對我們的要求：不求"完美"，也不求"永不犯錯誤"，而是求得人生的"完整".
If we are brave enough to love，strong enough to forgive，generous enough to rejoice inanother's happiness，and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for usall，then we can achieve a fulfillmentthat no other living creature will ever know.
如果我們勇敢得能夠去愛，堅強得能夠去寬容，大度得能夠去分享他人的幸福，明智得能夠理解身邊充滿愛，那麼我們就能取得別的生物所不能取得的成就。
