公主1 My dearest daughter
today is your sixteenth birthday congratulations.I present you with this diary to fill the pages with your special thoughts,special thoughts of your wonderful life.It is a custom in my family to pass on a piece of wisdom when one reaches this age.I pass it on to you as my father passed it on to me.Amelia,courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement.That something else is more important than fear.The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.From now on,you'll be traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be.The key is to allow yourself to make the journey.I also want you to know I love your mother very much and still think of her often.Happy birthday,my Mia.
All my love,your father.
亲爱的女儿
今天是你16岁生日,恭喜。我送你这本日记,让你记下你精彩的一生。我们家族有个传统,在成员成年时,传承智慧。像我父亲传给我一样地传给你。蜜亚,勇者并非无所畏惧而是判断出还有比恐惧更重要的东西。愚勇不可取,固步自封则一点机会也没有。从今起,你将踏上旅程了解自己和自己的能耐。重点是你要自己完成它。我也想让你知道,我很爱你母亲,也常想起她。生日快乐,蜜亚。
爱你的,父亲。
