````````````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.
Daniel Gottlieb
只要翻译第（1）（2）两段。不要机器翻译，谢谢

多年来，我一直从事一档电台节目的主持以及一家杂志的编辑。由于无法行动自如，我学会了静坐着敞开心扉，与听众和读者思想交流。所以当sam降生之后，我打算告诉他学校和友谊，浪漫和工作，爱以及其他所有的一切。我以此开始了这些书信的写作。我希望sam有天会读到它们。

（第1段）在你开始阅读这本书之前，请先允许我说几句。我外孙Sam出生的时候，我满怀欣喜。而在那之前，我已经在轮椅上坐了20多年，而且的过好多次重病。那时我曾怀疑自己是否有时间告诉SAM我的所见所闻。 .
（第2段）这么多年来，我一直在主持电台的一档节目，并为一家杂志写文章。由于不能自由行走，我学会了静静地坐着，敞开心扉的与成千上万的听众和读者分享彼此的想法。所以当Sam出生的时候，我决定告诉他学校、友谊、浪漫、工作、爱情和其它一切我所知道的事物。于是我开始写这些信。我希望有一天SAM能够读到它们

亲爱的读者：
请允许我在你读这本书之前先说点什么，当我的孙子山姆出生的时候，我心中充满着幸福。在这之前我已经在轮椅中坐了20年了，并且得过几次重病。所以我也不知道是不是有时间告诉山姆我所注意到的（一些事情）。
多年来我一直在广播中主持节目，并为杂志撰稿。由于不能自由的行动，我慢慢学会了安静的坐着并保持内心的开朗。和上千的听众和读者交流思想。所以当山姆出生后，我就决定想要告诉他一些关于学校和友情，浪漫和工作，爱情以及其他的任何一件东西。这就是我为什么写这些信，我希望山姆迟早能读到它们（这些信）。
