望子成龙是天下父母最大的心愿，即使是征战沙场的麦克阿瑟将军也不例外，读了这篇柔情至深的为儿子祈福的祷告词，你会作何感想？
1. Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he’s afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
2. Build me a son whose wishes will not take the place of deeds; a son who will know Thee (You)... and that to know himself is the foundation of knowledge.
3. Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur（刺激，激励） of difficulties and challenges.
4. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion（怜悯，同情） for those who fail.
5. Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will reach into the future, and never forget the past.
6. And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be lively as well as serious. Give him humility（谦卑，谦逊）, so that he may al?鄄ways remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, and the meek?鄄ness（温顺,懦弱） of true strength. Then I, his father, will dare to whisper, “I have not lived in vain.”
1.主啊，恳请这样塑造我的儿子：使他坚强到能够认识自己的软弱之处；勇敢到在恐惧时能够正视自己；在诚实的失败中，能够自豪不屈；在胜利顺境时谦和温逊。
2.恳请这样塑造我的儿子：使他不仅能胸怀希望，而且能付诸行动；使他能够感知您的至圣；使他了解自知之明是一切知识的基石。
3.恳请不要把他引入安逸、舒适的道路，而使他能够在困难及挑战的压力和督促之下奋勇前进。
4.在此请让他学会在暴风雨中屹立不屈，同时请让他学会对受到挫折的人给予怜悯和同情。
5.恳请为我培养一个心地清明、目标高远的儿子，使他在指挥别人之前，先懂得驾驭自己，在对未来善加筹划的同时，永不忘记过去。
6.除此之外，还请求您赐予他一点幽默感，使他既严肃又不失活泼。给他一点谦逊，使他可以永远记住真实伟大的朴实无华，真实智慧的虚怀若谷和真实力量的温和蕴藉。那么，我，他的父亲，才敢默默自许：“我这辈子没有白活。”

道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟(Douglas MacArthur)，
美国陆军五星上将。出生于阿肯色州小石城的军人世家。麦克阿瑟有过50年的军事实践经验，被美国国民称为“一代老兵”，而其自身又曾是“美国最年轻的准将、西点军校最年轻的校长、美国陆军历史上最年轻的陆军参谋长”，凭借精妙的军事谋略和敢战敢胜的胆识，麦克阿瑟堪称美国战争史上的奇才。
