````````````Introduction to Letters to Sam````````````
Dear Reader,
（第1段）Please allow me to tell you something before you read this book. When my grandson, Sam, was born, my heart was filled with joy. I had been sitting in a wheelchair for 20 years before then, and I have been seriously ill many times. So I wondered if I would have the time to tell Sam what I had observed.
（第2段）For years I have been hosting a program on the radio and writing articles for a magazine. Being unable to move freely, I have learned to sit still and keep my heart open, exchanging thoughts with thousands of listeners and readers. So when Sam was born, I decided to tell him about school and fridship, romance and work, love and everything else. That’s how I started to write these letters. I hope that Sam would read them sooner or later.
（第3段）However, that expectation changed when Sam showed signs of autism (自闭症) at the age of two. He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs. He refused to communicate with others, even the family members. That was heartbreaking for me but didn’t stop me writing on. I realized that I had even more now to tell him. I wanted him to understand what it means to be “different” from others, and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’ll face as I myself, his grandfather, did. I just doubted if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.
（第4段）Now, as the book has been published, I have been given the chance. Every chapter in the book is a letter to Sam: some about my life, and all about what it means to be a man.

在您读这本书之前，请听我讲一些事情。当我的儿子——山姆出生时，我的心中充满喜悦。在那之前的二十多年里我都坐在轮椅里，病体恹恹。所以我曾怀疑是否能有机会将我的所见所闻告诉山姆。
数年以来，我主持一档电台节目，并为一家杂志社撰稿。由于不能自如活动，我学会了一动不动的坐着，心胸宽广，与成千上万的听众和读者交流思想。所以当山姆来到这个世界上，我决定告诉他学习，友谊，爱情，和工作。这就是我写作这些信的初衷，我希望山姆有一天能读到这些。
