亲爱的读者们 对你们中的大多数人来说
Dear readers, for most of you,
这是我在这份报纸 第一次开专栏
this is my first column in your paper.
以后，我会解答各位的问题
In the future, I will be answering your questions,
但是今天，我想破例和大家聊聊
but today, I wanna break from my usual format and talk to you
“计划”这个话题
about the subject of plans.
不是说我这个专栏的计划 而是说人生的计划
Not so much my plan for this column, more like life plans.
我们怎么来制定它们
How we all make them.
以及我们多么该期待孩子们拟出 他们自己的，好的，安全的计划
And how we hope that our kids make good, smart, safe plans of their own.
但是如果扪心自问
But if we’re really honest with ourselves,
大多数时候我们的计划都 不能按照我们的期望实现
most of the time our plans don’t work out as we’d hoped.
因此也许我不应该问我们的孩子：
So instead of asking our young people,
“你的计划是什么？ 你准备怎么过一生？”
“What are your plans? What do you plan to do with your life?”
而应该告诉他们： 准备好接受上天给你惊喜吧
is: Plan to be surprised.
掉下来了
It’s falling out.
就这样吧
And that’s it.
