我觉得我需要教她很多。我想在算术和阅读的基础上给她一个早期的基础,但更重要的是,我想了解世界是一个危险的地方,生活是不可预测的,您必须变得聪明,专注并决心通过。面对不幸,您必须愿意努力工作并坚持不懈。很多人,甚至那些出生于大脑和美丽的人,都没有统计并完成工作所需的一切。
(I felt there was a lot I needed to teach her. I wanted to give her an early grounding in the basics of arithmetic and reading, but even more important, I wanted to get across the idea that the world was a dangerous place and life was unpredictable and you had to be smart, focused, and determined to make it through. You had to be willing to work hard and persevere in the face of misfortune. A lot of people, even those born with brains and beauty, didn't have what it took to knuckle down and get the thing done.)
