下面是中文翻译，可能不是很贴切。当你真正体会到其中的涵义时，便会发现其中“爱”、“放手”、“分清责任”、“信任”、“尊重”、“正向信念”这些家庭教育的真谛都包含其中。

# a: j; P1 b, ~你的子女，其实不是你的子女。
他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
他们借助你来到这世界，却非因你而来。
他们在你身旁，却并不属于你。
8 L$ Z; y6 `8 _0 x# i1 D你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的思想，
) Q4 j, S( c( O- t4 b; m5 q因为他们有自己的思想。
你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，
: K/ A0 s% t9 g1 C因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦都无法到达的明天，
( z9 w$ f8 c& H9 R2 O你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，
却不要让他们变得和你一样，
# v: k) r4 B0 p; L' F4 G1 B因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。
你是弓，儿女是从你那里射出的箭。
; q: I! V$ _1 R* v弓箭手望着未来之路上的箭靶，
# p3 E; j/ \) i  |+ B它用尽力气将你拉开，使他的箭射得又快又远。
& `8 q( W: o2 f/ X8 ]1 o怀着快乐的心情，在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧，
因为他爱一路飞翔的箭，也爱无比稳定的弓。
