You are the light of my life, the source of my joy, and the reason I wake up every morning with renewed hope and purpose. 当我坐下来写这封信给你时，我的心中充满了无法用言语表达的情感。你是我的生命之光，是我喜悦的源泉，也是我每天醒来都充满了希望和目标的原因。 I want you to know how immensely proud I am of the person you are becoming. From the moment you came into this world, you have filled it with your boundless energy, infectious laughter, and unwavering determination. Watching you grow and flourish into the remarkable young woman you are today has been the greatest privilege of my life. 我想让你知道，我是多么骄傲你成长为这样一个了不起的年轻女子。自从你来到这个世界，到处都是你无穷的活力、充满感染力的笑声和坚定不移的决心。看着你茁壮成长，成为今天这样出色的女性，是我一生中最大的荣幸。 But along with pride comes a deep sense of responsibility. As you navigate the complexities of life, I want to offer you some words of wisdom that I hope will guide you on your journey. 但是，随着骄傲而来的是深深的责任感。在你探索人生的复杂过程中，我想给你一些智慧的话语，希望能在你的旅程中指引你。 First and foremost, never underestimate the power of kindness. In a world that can sometimes feel harsh and unforgiving, kindness is a beacon of light that has the power to illuminate even the darkest of days. Always treat others with compassion and empathy, for it is through acts of kindness that we can truly make a difference in the world. 首先，永远不要低估善良的力量。在这个有时会感到严酷和无情的世界里，善良是一束光，它有能力照亮最黑暗的日子。始终以同情和共情对待他人，因为正是通过善良的行为，我们才能真正改变世界。 Secondly, embrace failure as a natural part of the learning process. It is through our failures that we learn, grow, and ultimately succeed. Do not be afraid to take risks or to pursue your dreams with passion and determination. Remember that the greatest achievements often arise from the ashes of failure, and it is those who persevere through adversity who emerge victorious in the end. 其次，要把失败看作是学习过程中的自然组成部分。正是通过失败，我们才学会成长，最终获得成功。不要害怕冒险，也不要害怕全力以赴地追求你的梦想。记住，最伟大的成就往往出现在失败的余烬中，而那些能够坚持不懈度过逆境的人最终会成功。 Thirdly, never lose sight of the importance of authenticity. Stay true to yourself and your values, even when faced with pressure to conform or compromise. Your uniqueness is your greatest strength, and it is through embracing your true self that you will find fulfillment and happiness in life. 第三，永远不要忘记真实性的重要性。保持对自己和价值观的忠诚，即使面临着迎合或妥协的压力。你的独特性是你最大的优势，只有通过接纳真实的自己，你才能在生活中找到满足和幸福。 Lastly, cherish the relationships that matter most to you. Family, friends, and loved ones are the true treasures of life, and the love and support they provide are invaluable. Nurture these relationships, cherish the memories you create together, and never take their presence in your life for granted. 最后，珍惜那些对你来说最重要的关系。家人、朋友和爱人是生活中真正的财富，他们提供的爱和支持是无价的。培养这些关系，珍惜你们共同创造的回忆，永远不要把他们在你生命中的存在视为理所当然。 With all my love and admiration, 满怀爱意和钦佩 Your devoted father, Francis Scott Fitzgerald 全心全意爱你的父亲，弗朗西斯·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德
