小诗小译 | Mother 母亲

"M" is for the million things she gave me, 

"O" means only that she is growing old,

"T" is for her heart of purest gold, 

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,

"R" means right, and right she will always be.

Put them all together, 

they spell "MOTHER",

A word that means the world to me.

-- Howard Johnson (c.1915)

M——她为我做的事情成千上万

O——她那盛世红颜正缓缓流逝

T——她那为我流下的涟涟泪雨

H——她那颗金子般纯净的心灵

E——她那盛满爱意的动人双眸

R——她，永远都是对的

把这些字母拼在一起，就成了"母亲"

这个于我而言意味着整个世界的词呵。

—— 霍华德•约翰逊
