我希望你幸福快乐

　　We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I d know better.
　　I’d really like them know about hand-me-down clothes and home-made ice cream and leftover meatloaf. I really would.
　　My grandson, I hope you learn humility by surviving failure and that you learn to be honest even when no one is looking.
　　I hope you learn to make your bed and mow the lawn and wash the car, and I hope nobody gives you a brand-new car when you are sixteen.
　　It will be good if at least one time you can see a baby calf born, and you have a good friend to be with you if you ever have to put your old dog to sleep.
　　I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.
　　I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it is all right to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he’s scared, I hope you’ll let him.
　　And when you want to see a Disney movie and your kid brother wants to tag along, I hope you take him.
　　I hope you have to walk uphill with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.
　　I hope you get razzed by friends when you have your first crush on a girl, and that when you talk back to your mother you learn what Ivory soap tastes like.
　　May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on the stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
　　I hope you get sick when someone blows smoke in your face. I don t care if you try beer once, but I hope you won t like it.
　　I hope you make time to sit on a porch with your grandpa or go fishing with your uncle.
　　　　These things I wish for you-tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness.
　　我们竭尽全力想让我们的孩子们过得更好，而结果却适得其反。对我的孙辈们，我就明智得多了。
　　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。我真的希望。
　　我的孙子，我希望你在经受失败的考验之后能学会谦卑，也希望你在即使在没有人注视你的时候也能学会诚实。
　　我希望你能学会自己叠被子，自己整理草坪，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。
　　假如你至少有一次机会看见小牛犊出生，假如你不得不为你的老狗送终，那时有一位好朋友在场为你作伴--那样该有多好啊！
　　我希望你能为自己的所信仰与人斗得眼青脸肿。
　　我希望你能和你弟弟共一间卧室-即使你在卧室中间划一条分界线也没关系。可是，当弟弟因为害怕而要爬进你的被窝时，我希望你会接纳他。
　　当你要出去看迪斯尼电影，你的小弟弟想和你一起去时，我希望你能带上他。
　　我希望你能和朋友们一起爬山，而在你所生活的城市里做这项运动是不会有什么危险的。
　　当你第一次喜欢上一个女孩时，我希望你会受到朋友们的嘲弄；而当你跟你母亲顶嘴时，希望她叫你尝一尝象牙肥皂的滋味。
　　但愿你能在爬山时弄破膝盖上的皮，或者在炉子上烧伤手，或者让舌头粘在结冰的旗杆上。
　　我希望吸烟者对着你的脸上喷吐烟雾时，你会感到恶心。如果你尝试喝一次啤酒，我不会在意；但是我希望你不会喜欢上它。
　　我希望你能抽时间来陪你爷爷在门廊上坐一坐，或者陪你叔叔钓钓鱼。
　　我希望你能经历艰难的岁月，挫折和失望；希望你努力工作，幸福快乐。
