Getting into Columbia is a real testament of what a great well-rounded student you are. Your academic, artistic, and social skills have truly blossomed in the last few years. Whether it is getting the highest grade in Calculus, completing your elegant fashion design, successfully selling your painted running shoes, or becoming one of the top orators in Model United Nations, you have become a talented and accomplished young woman. You should be as proud of yourself as we are. 　　首先，我想告诉你我们是多么地为你感到骄傲。能进入哥伦比亚大学已经证明你是一个全面发展的优秀学生。你的理论知识、艺术修养和社交技能在最近几年都突飞猛进，无论是你在微积分中获得最高分，抑或完成你优雅时尚的设计，成功售出你彩绘的跑步鞋，还是成为“模拟联合国”中最优秀的演讲家之一，你都毫无疑问已经成为一个多才多艺的成功女子。我们为有你这样一个优秀的女儿而骄傲，你也应该像我们一样为自己感到自豪。 　　I will always remember the first moment I held you in my arms.

I will always remember singing you lullaby while I rocked you to sleep. When I put you down, it was always with both relief (she finally fell asleep!) and regret (wishing I could hold you longer). And I will always remember taking you to the playground, and watching you having so much fun. You were so cute and adorable, and that is why everybody loved you so. 　　我永远记得第一次将你抱在臂弯的那一刻，一种无以言表的兴奋和激动一下子触动了我的心，那是一种让我永远陶醉的感觉。或许这就是将要把你我的生命捆在一起的所谓的“父女情结”吧。我永远记得我哼着摇篮曲轻轻摇你入睡，当我把你放下的时候，常常既感到解脱又感到惋惜：解脱，是因为你终于睡着了；惋惜，是因为我多么希望能多抱你一会儿啊！我永远记得带你到游乐场时，看你玩得是那么地开心。你是那么地天真可爱，以至于每个人都那么地喜欢你。 　　You have been a great kid ever since you were born, always quiet, empathetic, attentiv
