今天是六月十六日。
今天是六月的第三個(gè)星期日的烁。也是西方父親節(jié)。今天讀了麥克阿瑟將軍寫給兒子的祈禱文诈闺。
這篇祈禱文渴庆，是在他去世后由家人公布于世，感人肺腑。
主啊!求你塑造我的兒子襟雷，使他在軟弱時(shí)刃滓，能夠堅(jiān)強(qiáng)不屈;在懼怕時(shí)能夠勇敢自持，在正常的失敗中耸弄，毫不氣餒;在光明的勝利中咧虎，仍能保持謙遜溫和。
Buildme a son whose wishes will not take the place of deeds; a son who will knowThee... and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.
懇求你塑造我的兒子计呈，不至空有幻想而缺乏行動(dòng);引領(lǐng)他認(rèn)識(shí)你砰诵，同時(shí)讓他知道，認(rèn)識(shí)自己捌显，才是一切知識(shí)的基石茁彭。
Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spurof difficulties and challenge. Here, let him learn to stand up in the storm;here let him learn compassion for those that fail.
我祈求你，不要使他走上安逸苇瓣、舒適之途尉间，求你將他置于困難和挑戰(zhàn)的磨練和激勵(lì)中偿乖，求你引領(lǐng)他击罪，使他學(xué)習(xí)在風(fēng)暴中挺身站立，并學(xué)會(huì)憐憫那些在重壓之下失敗跌倒的人贪薪。
Build me a son, whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high, a son who willmaster himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will reach into thefuture, yet never forget the past.
求你塑造我的兒子媳禁，求你讓他有一顆純潔的心，并有i在大的目標(biāo);使他在能指揮別人之前画切，先懂得駕馭自己;當(dāng)邁入未來之際竣稽，永不忘記過去的教訓(xùn)。
Andafter all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, sothat he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously. Give himhumility. so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, theopen mind of true wisdom and the meekness of true strength. Then, I, hisfather, will dare to whisper have not lived in vain."
在他霍弹，有了這些美德之后毫别，我還要祈求你賜給他足夠的幽默感，以免他過于嚴(yán)肅典格，還苛求自己岛宦。懇求你賜給他謙卑的心，使他永遠(yuǎn)記得耍缴，真正的偉大是單純砾肺，真正的智慧是坦率，真正的力量是溫和防嗡。如此变汪，我這作父親的，才敢低聲說:"我沒有虛度此生蚁趁。?"
