适合10岁小孩读的家书（当你老了一位老去的妈妈写给年轻女儿的感人家书）

一位老去的妈妈写给年轻女儿的感人家书

编译：Daisy

上周末，网上发表了一封公开匿名信，是一名年迈的母亲经过深思熟虑，写给自己的女儿的信。在她发现女儿第一次注意到自己老了的时候，这位妈妈就写了这封信。

读完这封信，想到父母老去的那天，我们会感到心碎。这封信详述了当我们的父母苍老之时我们共度的时光……他们会重复讲同一个故事、忘记许多细节，生活小事上也有许多不便。

但是，最终，想到父母曾为我们付出的心血，在他们年迈之时我们照顾他们所花的时间显得如此微不足道。

亲爱的女儿,

When You are Old

by William Butler Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

当你老了，头发花白，睡意沉沉，

And nodding by the fire，take down this book,

倦坐在炉边，取下这本书来，

And slowly read,and dream of the soft look

慢慢读着，追梦当年的眼神

Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;

你那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影。

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

多少人爱过你昙花一现的身影，

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

爱过你的美貌，以虚伪或真情，

But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you

惟独一人曾爱你那朝圣者的心，

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕。

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

在炉罩边低眉弯腰，

Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled

忧戚沉思，喃喃而语，

And paced upon the mountains overhead

爱情是怎样逝去，又怎样步上群山，

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

怎样在繁星之间藏住了脸。

附：英文原文：

An anonymous open letter surfaced on the web over the weekend from a thoughtful aging mother to her daughter. The mother wrote this note for the day her daughter notices her mother aging for the first time.

The letter offers some heart-wrenching perspective for when that day arrives. It details moments we all have had when our parents get older… the repeated stories, forgotten details, and minor inconveniences. But in the end, the things our parents did for us will overshadow the time we spend caring for them in old age.

My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”… Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep.

When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl?

When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way … remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day… the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through.

If I occasionally lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you.

And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked. When those days come, don’t feel sad… just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say, I love you … my darling daughter.
