Dear World:

亲爱的世界:

My son starts school today.

我的儿子今天就要开始上学读书了。

It's going to be strange and new to him for a while, and I wish you would sort of treat him gently.

一时之间,他会感觉陌生而又新鲜。我希望你能待他温柔一些。

You see, up to now, he's been king of the roost.

你明白,到现在为止,他一直是家中的小皇帝。

He's been boss of the backyard.

一直是后院的王者。

I have always been around to repair his wounds, and to soothe his feelings.

我一直在他身旁,忙着为他治疗伤口,哄他开心。

But now--things are going to be different.

但是现在--一切都将不同了。

This morning, he's going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.

今天清晨,他就要走下前门的楼梯,冲我挥手,然后开始他的伟大的历险征程,其间或许有争斗、不幸以及伤痛。

To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage.

既然活在这个世上,他就需要信念、爱心和勇气。

So, World, I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.

所以,世界啊,我希望你能够时不时握住他稚嫩的小手,传授他所应当知晓的事情。
