天下父母
歐巴馬寫給女兒的信
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that’s why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.
想用我自己的話說一遍 –
當我年輕的時候, 我覺得生活是完全屬於我的. 想變成什麼樣的人, 變成功, 得到我想要的東西.
但妳們兩個卻帶著調皮及滿滿的好奇心跳進了我的世界.
那笑臉總是能夠照亮我的一天和填滿我的內心.
突然, 我所有的計畫似乎都不再那麼重要.
很快的, 我發現我生活中最大的喜悅來自看到妳們的快樂.
而且了解到我自己的生活一點也不重要, 除非我能夠讓妳們擁有所有的幸福與滿足.
那也是所有的力量, 讓我往前.
