advice to a young man 给一位青年的忠告
Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things,
you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two in the
morning. It’s the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday.
谨记，我的年轻人，你们必须工作.不管你是使锄头还是用笔，也不管是推手推车还是编记账簿，也不管你是种地还是编辑报纸，是拍卖师亦或是作家，都必须有一份工作，并为之努力奋斗.如果仔细观察周围的人，你就会发现，那些工作最努力的人最有可能安享晚年而无须去工作.不要害怕超负荷的工作会缩短你的寿命，不足三十岁的年龄，你的承受能力远不止如此.如果说真的有人过早送命，那完全是因为他们在晚上六点结束工作，却要在外流连到凌晨两点才归家.我的年轻人，正是晚上六点到凌晨两点的这段时间的生活毁了他们自己.工作会增加你的食欲，工作会使你安然入睡，工作将会使你心满意足地享受假日.
There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names, even it simply speaks of them as “old So-and-So’s boy”. Nobody likes them; the great,
busy world doesn’t know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you will be apt to
get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you.
有的年轻人不工作，但世界并不会因他们自豪。它不知道他们的姓名，甚至简单地将他们概括为“老令人讨厌者的男孩 ” 。没有人喜欢他们;伟大，繁忙的世界不知道他们在那里。因此，找出哪些你想成为和做的，脱下你的外衣，把粉尘抛在世界上。越是繁忙
的你越是少受伤害，甜蜜将成为您的睡眠，光明和幸福着您的假期，更好地满足你的意志世界。
扎克伯格给女儿写的信 Dear Max, 亲爱的麦柯斯，
Your mother and I don't yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future. Your new life is full of promise, and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore it
fully. You've already given us a reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in.
你妈妈和我还找不到词汇来描述你给我们带来的对未来的期望。你的新生活充满了潜能，我们愿你能健康快乐，以让你充分地去探索研究。你已经给了我们一个理由去反思我们希望你生活的那个世界。
Like all parents, we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today. 像所有的父母一样，我们想要你长大后的世界比我们今天更好。
While headlines often focus on what's wrong, in many ways the world is getting better. Health is improving. Poverty is shrinking. Knowledge is growing. People are connecting. Technological
progress in every field means your life should be dramatically better than ours today.
新闻总是会报道哪里出了问题，但在好多方面这个世界正变得越来越好。健康状况在改善、贫困人群在减少、大家的知识水平在增加，人们彼此的联系越来越紧密。技术在各个方面的进步意味着你们这一代的生活会比我们现在有巨大的变化。
We will do our part to make this happen, not only because we love you, but also because we have a moral responsibility to all children in the next generation.
我们会尽全力让这种变化发生，不仅仅是因为我们爱你，更是因为我们有责任去爱护下一代所有的孩子。
We believe all lives have equal value, and that includes the many more people who will live in future generations than live today. Our society has an obligation to invest now to improve the
lives of all those coming into this world, not just those already here.
我们相信所有的生命都有同等的价值，这里面保护生活在未来和现在的所有人。我们的社会有义务去为所有即将来到这个世界的生命去投资，而不是仅仅关注眼前和当下。 ………………
Today, most people die from five things -- heart disease, cancer, stroke, neurodegenerative and infectious diseases -- and we can make faster progress on these and other problems.
当下，人们主要死于五种情况——心脏病、癌症、中风、神经退行性和传染性疾病——我们能做的就是尽快在这些方面取得进展去解决问题。
Once we recognize that your generation and your children's generation may not have to suffer from disease, we collectively have a responsibility to tilt our investments a bit more towards the
future to make this reality. Your mother and I want to do our part. 当我们想到你们这一代和你的孩子们的一代如果可以不再受到这些疾病的困扰，我们就觉得我们有义务去投资让这种假设在未来变成现实。你的妈妈和我都想尽我们自己的力量。
Curing disease will take time. Over short periods of five or ten years, it may not seem like we're making much of a difference. But over the long term, seeds planted now will grow, and one
day, you or your children will see what we can only imagine: a world without suffering from disease.
疾病的治疗需要时间。短期比如五年或十年可能都看不出任何差别，但是从长远来看，种子播下去就会生长，终有一天，你或者你的孩子们会看到一个没有疾病的世界，而我们却只能想象那一天的到来了。
There are so many opportunities just like this. If society focuses more of its energy on these great challenges, we will leave your generation a much better world.
有好多机会就是这像是这样。如果社会能够把精力关注到这些伟大的挑战上，那么我们将会给你们这一代人留下一个更美好的世界。
Our hopes for your generation focus on two ideas: advancing human potential and promoting equality.
我们希望你们这一代关注两个概念：推进人类潜能和促进平等。
