To be sure, I would like them to remember how I always wanted them with me wherever I went, how I always tried to put them before everything else. But there are also challenges in their lives. Because my kids are stalked by paparazzi, they can't always go to a park or a movie with me.
我敢肯定，我希望他們能記得，不管我去哪兒，總想把他們帶在身邊，能記得我把他們看得比一切都重要。但他們的生活中也會有挑戰(zhàn)。因為我的孩子們總是被狗仔隊跟蹤，他們不能經常和我去公園或去看電影。
So what if they grow older and resent me, and how my choices impacted their youth? Why weren't we given an average childhood like all the other kids, they might ask? And at that moment I pray that my children will give me the benefit of the doubt. That they will say to themselves: "Our daddy did the best he could, given the unique circumstances that he faced. He may not have been perfect, but he was a warm and decent man, who tried to give us all the love in the world."
所以如果他們長大了之后怨恨我怎么辦呢？如果他們怨恨我選擇給他們的童年帶來影響我該怎么辦呢？他們也許會問，為什么我們沒有和其他孩子一樣的童年呢？在那一刻，我會祈禱，我的孩子能夠理解我。他們會對自己說：“在那種特殊的環(huán)境下，我們的爸爸已經盡了他最大的努力。或許不完美，但他卻是個溫和而正派的人，他想把這世上所有的愛都給我們。”
I hope that they will always focus on the positive things, on the sacrifices I willingly made for them, and not criticize the things they had to give up, or the errors I've made, and will certainly continue to make, in raising them. For we have all been someone's child, and we know that despite the very best of plans and efforts, mistakes will always occur. That's just being human.
我希望他們能總是把焦點放在那些積極的方面，放在我心甘情愿為他們做出犧牲上，而不是抱怨他們不得不放棄一些事情，或批判我在撫養(yǎng)他們的過程中犯過的或將來不免要犯的錯誤。因為我們都是父母的孩子，而且我們都清楚，盡管有最好的計劃和努力，錯誤也在所難免。人，孰能無過？
And when I think about this, of how I hope that my children will not judge me unkindly, and will forgive my shortcomings, I am forced to think of my own father and despite my earlier denials, I am forced to admit that me must have loved me. He did love me, and I know that.
當我想到這個，想到我是多么希望我的孩子不會覺得我不夠好，而且會原諒我，原諒我的缺點時，我不得不想起我自己的父親，不管我之前怎么否定他，我必須承認他一定是愛我的。他的確愛我，我是知道的。
