To Alex & Daniel：

Dear sons:

亲爱的儿子们：

I wish you like reading more than speaking

But knowing that a wonderful speech

Comes from a thousand wonderful books;

我愿你们喜爱阅读胜过演说，

却深知成千上万的好书

才能凝练成一次精彩的演说。

I wish you like hearing more than talking

Knowing that what you heard is unreliable

But still trying to make what you said reliable;

我愿你们喜爱倾听胜过倾述，

即使深知所闻如烟，不可信，

却依然坚持让自己一言九鼎。

I wish you like giving more than taking

But only give when you can give unconditionally

And also don't feel guilty from what you took from those unconditional giving

In contrast

Appreciate  it

Enjoy it;

我愿你们喜爱施与胜过索取，

可只在自己不求回报时施与，

当需要接受他人不求回报的施与时，

感激，珍惜，却不羞愧。

I wish you like giving a hand more than just giving an advice

And also knowing that a helping hand is much worthy than hundreds of unthoughtful advice

我愿你们喜欢伸手帮忙胜过开口帮忙，

并深知伸手解囊的举动胜过一千条信口开河的建议。

I wish you like learning more than teaching

And knowing that you can learn from

Every one and every word

But don't try to teach anyone unless they really need your lessons

And if you teach

Please don't use the words unless you have to

我愿你们喜爱学胜过教

并且不随意指教他人，除非他人真的需要，

即使要指教，请慎用语言来教。

I wish you like creating more than enjoying

But knowing that they are both great experience,

And they created equally nice

我希望你们喜爱创造胜过欣赏，

却深知它们都是同样美好的经历，

能带给你们同样的美好。

I wish you like being an ordinary men more than being an extraordinary men,

But deeply knowing our world do need some men to be extraordinary;

Equally important as our world needs a lot of men to be ordinary;

我愿你们成为一个平凡的人胜过成为一个不凡的人；

并深知我们的世界确实需要一些不凡的人；

如同它同样需要很多平凡的人一样。

I wish you like choosing the difficult job more than an easy one,

But knowing that to finish the easy job that you can achieve is much better than to stop a difficult one which far beyond your abilities;

我愿你们在工作面前，

愿意选择困难的而非简单的。

但深知选择完成一项简单的工作比选择让那些超出自己所能的工作半途而废强得多。

I wish you like appreciating more than judging,

When you appreciate,

I hope you can appreciate from your hearts，

Before you judge,

I hope you can judge the judging itself!

我愿你们喜爱欣赏胜过评鉴，

当你们欣赏时，由衷地感受，

而当你们评鉴之前，

先考量评鉴本身。

I wish you love nature more than artificiality,

But also knowing the danger of nature is not less than the beauty of itself,

And knowing the artificiality also can save more than it kills;

我愿你们热爱自然胜过人工，

但深知自然的可怕并不比它的美丽少，

而人工所能拯救的往往比它所残害的更多。

I wish you love the world equally as you love yourself,

You can love the world only through the experience that you love yourself,

And the world can love you correctly only when you loving him without asking for any rewards;

我愿你们如同爱自己一样热爱这个世界，

而你们对世界的爱唯有通过爱自己的体验得以实现。

而世界对你们的爱只有通过你们对它无所求的爱才得以实现。

In the end,

I wish the way you love yourself can much beyond the way I loved you,

But I know you will understand how much I loved you,

And how much I love the world within both of you.

最后，

我愿你们对自己的爱能胜过我对你们的爱，                                     

但你们知道妈妈有多爱你们，

多爱这个有你们的世界。

Love Mami

爱你们的妈妈
