My son is four. 我儿子今年四岁。

This morning at breakfast, 今天早饭的时候，

he looked at his glass of water and asked, 他看着自己的水杯问我，

very seriously, "Do fish get thirsty?" 特别认真地问：“鱼会觉得口渴吗？”

I didn't have a good answer. 我不知道该怎么回答。

But I knew I'd forget the question. 但我知道自己肯定会把这个问题给忘了。

Whole months of him are already gone. 关于他这几个月以来的样子，好多我都已经想不起来了。

So tonight, after he fell asleep, I wrote him a letter. 所以今晚等他睡着后，我给他写了一封信。

I told him about the fish. 我跟他提了鱼的事。

I told him that he can't say "spaghetti," 我告诉他，他现在还不会念“意大利面”，

and that I hope he never learns. 而且我真希望他永远也学不会。

That when he's scared, he holds my ear. 还写了他害怕的时候，总喜欢揪着我的耳朵。

None of it is important. 这些事其实没一件算得上重要。

That's why I wrote it down. 可我正因如此才要把它们记下来。

Nobody keeps the unimportant things, and they're the whole story. 没人会保留这些琐碎的小事，但它们恰恰构成了生活的全部。

I put it in an envelope 我把信装进信封，

and wrote on the front: "Open in 2046." 在正面上写着：“2046年再拆开。”

He'll be twenty-four. 到那时候他就二十四岁了。

He won't remember any of this. 他肯定什么都不记得了。

That's all right. 不过没关系。

I've remembered it for him. 我都替他记着呢。
