Dear Malia andSasha,
I know that youve both had a lot of fun these last two years onthe campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs,eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldnt have let you have. But I also know that it hasnt always been easyfor you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that newpuppy, it doesnt make up for all the time weve been apart. I knowhow much Ive missed these past two years, and today I want to tellyou a little more about why I decided to take our family on thisjourney。
亲爱的马莉亚和莎夏:
我知道这两年你们俩随我一路竞选都有过不少乐子,野餐、游行、逛州博览会,吃了各种或许我和你妈不该让你们吃的垃圾食物。然而我也知道,你们俩和你妈的日子,有时候并不惬意。新来的小狗虽然令你们兴奋,却无法弥补我们不在一起的所有时光。我明白这两年我错过的太多了,今天我要再向你们说说为何我决定带领我们一家走上这趟旅程。
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about meabout howId make my way in the world, become successful, and get the thingsI want. But then the two of you came into my world with all yourcuriosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill myheart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans formyself didnt seem so important anymore. I soon found that thegreatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realizedthat my own life wouldnt count for much unless I was able toensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillmentin yours. In the end, girls, thats why I ran for President:because of what I want for you and for every child in thisnation。
