扎克伯格《给女儿的信》全文（中英文版）Dear Max,　　Your mother and I dont yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future. Your new life is full of promise, and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore it fully.

Today we spend about 50 times more as a society treating people who are sick than we invest in research so you wont get sick in the first place.以疾病为例，今天我们在治疗疾病方面的花费是投资于将来你们不会生病的研究的50倍。　　Medicine has only been a real science for less than 100 years, and weve already seen complete cures for some diseases and good progress for others. As technology accelerates, we have a real shot at preventing, curing or
