8月29日消息，据CNBC报道，Facebook首席执行官马克・扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）和妻子普莉希拉・陈（Priscilla Chan）的第二个孩子刚刚降生，取名为August。

扎克伯格在Facebook上给女儿发了一封信。在信中，他说“童年是不可思议的”，August不应该“太过担心未来”。扎克伯格说，他和普莉希拉正在“尽我们所能，确保这个世界对你们和你们这一代的所有孩子来说都是一个更好的地方。”

扎克伯格夫妇不只是嘴上说说而已。他们的Chan Zuckerberg Initiative已经承诺要筹集数十亿美元，包括扎克伯格在Facebook的个人财富，以解决健康和教育领域的重大全球性问题。其中一个目标是在本世纪末帮助治愈、预防或管理所有人类疾病。

扎克伯格表示，他将休两个月的陪产假，与公司的政策保持一致。（小小）

以下为扎克伯格写给女儿的信件全文：

亲爱的August：

欢迎来到这个世界!我和你的妈妈都很兴奋，希望能看到你会成为什么样的人。

当你姐姐出生的时候，我们也写了一封信，畅想了我们希望她和你长大的未来世界：那时将有更好的教育、更少的疾病、更强大的社区以及更多的平等。我们写道，随着科学技术的进步，你们这一代应该比我们生活得更好，我们有责任尽我们所能来实现这个目标。尽管头条新闻经常关注负面内容，但我们仍然相信这些积极的趋势将会胜出。我们对你们这一代人和未来充满了乐观态度。

此外，我们还想谈谈童年。世界是一个很严肃的地方，这就是为什么抽出时间去外面玩很重要的原因。当你长大了，你会很忙，所以我希望你花时间去闻所有的花香，然后把你想要的所有叶子放在你的桶里。我希望你读了你最喜欢的苏斯博士（Dr. Seuss）的书，并开始自己编造关于《Vipper of Vipp》的故事。我希望你能和Max一起骑旋转木马，直到你驯服所有颜色的马。我希望你在我们的客厅和院子里尽情地飞跑。我希望你能小睡一会儿。我希望你睡得很好。我希望即使在梦里，你也能感觉到我们有多么爱你。

童年是神奇的，作为孩子你只会度过一次，所以不要花太多的时间去担心未来。我们已经为你准备好了一切，我们将尽我们所能确保这个世界对你们和你们这一代的所有孩子来说都是一个更好的地方。

August，我们非常爱你，我们为能和你一起去冒险而感到兴奋。我们希望你的生活充满欢乐、爱与希望。

爱你的爸爸和妈妈

Dear August,

Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.

When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in ― a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality. We wrote that with all the advances in science and technology, your generation should live dramatically better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen. Even though headlines often focus on what's wrong, we still believe these positive trends will win out. We're optimists about your generation and the future.

But rather than write about growing up, we want to talk about childhood. The world can be a serious place. That's why it's important to make time to go outside and play.

You will be busy when you're older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in your bucket now. I hope you read your favorite Dr. Seuss books so many times you start inventing your own stories about the Vipper of Vipp. I hope you ride the carousel with Max until you've tamed every color horse. I hope you run as many laps around our living room and yard as you want. And then I hope you take a lot of naps. I hope you're a great sleeper. And I hope even in your dreams you can feel how much we love you.

Childhood is magical. You only get to be a child once, so don't spend it worrying too much about the future. You've got us for that, and we'll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation.

August, we love you so much and we're so excited to go on this adventure with you. We wish you a life of joy, love and the same hope you give us.

Love,

Mom and Dad
