《愛(ài)如絲線》
Love is just a thread
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between myparents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay thehigh tuition for my brother and me.
有時(shí)候，我真的懷疑父母之間是否有真愛(ài)浓体。他們天天忙于賺錢泡挺，為我和弟弟支付學(xué)費(fèi)。
They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in booksor I see on TV. In their opinion, 'I love you' is too luxurious for them tosay. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of thequestion.
他們從未像我在書中讀到命浴，或在電視中看到的那樣互訴衷腸娄猫。他們認(rèn)為”我愛(ài)你”太奢侈，很難說(shuō)出口生闲。更不用說(shuō)在情人節(jié)送花這樣的事了媳溺。
Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tiredfrom the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
我父親的脾氣非常壞。經(jīng)過(guò)一天的勞累之后碍讯，他經(jīng)常會(huì)發(fā)脾氣悬蔽。
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently satdown beside her and looked at her.
一天，母親正在縫被子冲茸，我靜靜地坐在她旁邊看著她屯阀。
'Mom, I have a question to ask you,' I said after awhile.
過(guò)了一會(huì)，我說(shuō)：”媽媽轴术，我想問(wèn)你一個(gè)問(wèn)題难衰。”
'What?' she replied, still doing her work.
“什么問(wèn)題?”她一邊繼續(xù)縫著逗栽，一邊回答道盖袭。
'Is there love between you and Dad?' I asked her in avery low voice.
我低聲地問(wèn)道：”你和爸爸之間有沒(méi)有愛(ài)情啊?”
My mother stopped her work and raised her head withsurprise in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her headand continued to sew the quilt.
母親突然停下了手中的活，滿眼詫異地抬起頭。她沒(méi)有立即作答鳄虱。然后低下頭弟塞，繼續(xù)縫被子。
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. Iwas in a great embarrassment and I didn't know what I should do. But at last Iheard my mother say the following words:
我擔(dān)心傷害了她拙已。我非常尷尬决记，不知道該怎么辦。不過(guò)倍踪，后來(lái)我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)母親說(shuō)：
'Susan,' she said thoughtfully, 'Look at thisthread.Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The threadreally makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love shouldbe a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.Love is inside.'
“蘇珊系宫，看看這些線。有時(shí)候建车，你能看得見(jiàn)扩借，但是大多數(shù)都隱藏在被子里。這些線使被子堅(jiān)固耐用缤至。如果生活就像一床被子潮罪，那么愛(ài)就是其中的線。你不可能隨時(shí)隨地看到它领斥，但是它卻實(shí)實(shí)在在地存在著嫉到。愛(ài)是內(nèi)在的
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her untilthe next spring.
我仔細(xì)地聽(tīng)著，卻無(wú)法明白她的話月洛，直到來(lái)年的春天屯碴。
At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. Mymother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.
那時(shí)候，我父親得了重病膊存。母親在醫(yī)院里待了一個(gè)月。
When they returned from the hospital, they both lookedvery pale. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.
當(dāng)他們從醫(yī)院回來(lái)的時(shí)候忱叭，都顯得非常蒼白隔崎。就像他們都得了一場(chǎng)重病一樣。
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk,my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.
他們回來(lái)之后韵丑，每天的清晨或黃昏爵卒，母親都會(huì)攙扶著父親在鄉(xiāng)村的小路上漫步。
My father had never been so gentle. It seemed they werethe most harmonious couple.
父親從未如此溫和過(guò)撵彻。他們就像是天作之合钓株。
Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers,green grass and trees.
在小路旁邊，有許多美麗的野花陌僵、綠草和樹(shù)木轴合。
The sun gently glistened through the leaves. All of thesemade up the most beautiful picture in the world.
陽(yáng)光穿過(guò)樹(shù)葉的縫隙，溫柔地照射在地面上碗短。這一切形成了一幅世間最美好的畫面受葛。
The doctor had said my father would recover in twomonths. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us wereworried about him.
醫(yī)生說(shuō)父親將在兩個(gè)月后康復(fù)。但是兩個(gè)月之后，他仍然無(wú)法獨(dú)立行走总滩。我們都很為他擔(dān)心纲堵。
'Dad, how are you feeling now?' I asked him one day.
有一天，我問(wèn)他：“爸爸闰渔，你感覺(jué)怎么樣?”
'Susan, don't worry about me.' he said gently. 'To tellyou the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.'Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
他溫和地說(shuō)：“蘇珊席函，不用為我擔(dān)心。跟你說(shuō)吧冈涧，我喜歡與你媽媽一塊散步的感覺(jué)茂附。我喜歡這種生活】欢妫”從他的眼神里何之，我看得出他對(duì)母親的愛(ài)之深刻。
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweetkisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread inthe quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm..
我曾經(jīng)認(rèn)為愛(ài)情就是鮮花咽筋、禮物和甜蜜的親吻溶推。但是從那一刻起，我明白了奸攻，愛(ài)情就像是生活中被子里的一根線蒜危。愛(ài)情就在里面，使生活變得堅(jiān)固而溫暖睹耐。
