MyMothersGift母親的禮物SuzanneChazin蘇珊娜蔡津Igrewupinasmalltownwheretheelementaryschoolwasaten-minutewalkfrommyhouseandinanage,notsolongago,whenchildrencouldgohomeforlunchandfindtheirmotherswaiting.我是在一個小鎮(zhèn)上長大的，從鎮(zhèn)上的小學(xué)校到我家，只需步行10分鐘。離當(dāng)前不算太太久遠的那個時代，小學(xué)生可以回家吃午飯，而他們的母親，則會老早在家等候著。Atthetime,Ididnotconsiderthisaluxury,althoughtodayitcertainlywouldbe.Itookitforgrantedthatmotherswerethesandwich-makers,thefinger-paintingappreciatorsandthehomeworkmonitors.Ineverquestionedthatthisambitious,intelligentwoman,whohadhadacareerbeforeIwasbornandwouldeventuallyreturntoacareer,wouldspendalmosteverylunchhourthroughoutmyelementaryschoolyearsjustwithme.這一切對如今的孩子來說，無疑是一種奢望了，可是那時的我，卻并不以為然。我覺得做母親的給她的孩子制作三明治，鑒賞指畫，檢查他們的家庭作業(yè)，都是理所當(dāng)然的事。我從來沒有想過：像我母親這樣一個頗有抱負又很聰明的女人，在我降生之前，她有一份工作，而且后來她又謀了份差事，可是，在我上小學(xué)那幾年，她卻幾乎天天陪著我吃午飯，一同打發(fā)午餐時的每一分鐘。Ionlyknewthatwhenthenoonbellrang,Iwouldracebreathlesslyhome.Mymotherwouldbestandingatthetopofthestairs,smilingdownatmewithalookthatsuggestedIwastheonlyimportantthingshehadonhermind.Forthis,Iamforevergrateful.只記得，每當(dāng)午時鈴聲一響，我就一口氣地往家里跑。母親總是站在門前臺階的最高層，笑盈盈地望著我-那神情分明表示：我便是母親心目中唯一最重要的東西了。為此，我一輩子都要感謝我的母親。Somesoundsbringitallback:thehighpitchedsquealofmymothersteakettle,therumbleofthewashingmachineinthebasementandthejangleofmydogslicensetagsassheboundeddownthestairstogreetme.Ourtimetogetherseemeddevoidofthegerrymanderedschedulesthatnowpervademylife.如今，每當(dāng)我聽到一些聲音，像母親那把茶壺水開時發(fā)出的尖叫聲，地下室洗衣機的隆隆聲，還有，我那條狗蹦下臺階沖我搖頭擺尾時它脖子上那牌照發(fā)出的撞擊聲，便會勾起我對往事的回憶。和母親在一起的歲月，全然沒有充斥于我的生活中的、事先做好的安排往往任意改動。可是，和母親在一起的那些歲月里，這樣的現(xiàn)象似乎根本不存在。OnelunchtimewhenIwasinthethirdgradewillstaywithmealways.Ihadbeenpickedtobetheprincessintheschoolplay,andforweeksmymotherhadpainstakinglyrehearsedmylineswithme.ButnomatterhoweasilyIdeliveredthemathome,assoonasIsteppedonstage,everyworddisappearedfrommyhead.我永遠忘不了在我上三年級時的那一頓午飯。在那天之前，我被學(xué)校選中，要在一個即將演出的小劇中扮演公主的角色。一連好幾個禮拜，母親總是不辭辛勞地陪著我，一起背誦臺詞?？墒牵还茉诩依镌趺幢车脻L瓜爛熟，只要一上舞臺，我的腦子里就成了一片空白。Finally,myteachertookmeaside.Sheexplainedthatshehadwrittenanarratorsparttotheplay,andaskedmetoswitchroles.Herword,kindlydelivered,stillstung,especiallywhenIsawmypartgotoanothergirl.終于，老師把我叫到了一邊。她說劇中旁白這個角色的臺詞已寫好了，想把我替換下來當(dāng)旁白。盡管老師這些話說得和和氣氣，可還是刺痛了我的心，特別是當(dāng)我發(fā)覺自己扮演的公主角色讓另外一個女孩頂替時，更是如此。IdidnttellmymotherwhathadhappenedwhenIwenthomeforlunchthatday.Butshesensedmyunease,andinsteadofsuggestingwepracticemylines,sheaskedIfIwantedtowalkintheyard.那天回家吃午飯時我沒有把這事告訴母親。然而，母親見我心神不定，因此沒有再提練習(xí)背臺詞的事兒，而是問我愿意不愿意到院子里散散步。Itwasalovelyspringdayandtherosevineonthetrelliswasturninggreen.Underthehugeelmtrees,wecouldseeyellowdandelionspoppingthroughthegrassinbunches,asifapainterhadtouchedourlandscapewithdabsofgold.Iwatchedmymothercasuallybenddownbyoneoftheclumps.

Fromnowon,wellhaveonlyrosesinthisgarden. 那真是一個可愛的春日，棚架上薔薇的藤蔓正在轉(zhuǎn)青。在一些高大的榆樹下面，我們可以看到，一叢叢黃色的蒲公英冒出草坪，仿佛是一位畫家為了給眼前的美景增色而著意加上的點點金色。我看到母親在一簇花叢旁漫不經(jīng)心地彎下身來?！拔铱吹冒堰@些野草都撥了，”她說著，一邊使勁把一叢蒲公英連根撥出?！巴笤圻@園子里只讓長薔薇花?！盉utIlikedandelions, Iprotested.

Thenarratorspartiseverybitasimportantasthepartofaprincess. “但你會成為一名頂呱呱的解說員，”母親又說。她說平常我是多么喜歡朗誦故事給她聽，還說“從哪方面看，旁白這個角色都和公主那個角色一樣重要”。Overthenextfewweeks,withherconstantencouragement,Ilearnedtotakeprideintherole.LunchtimeswerespentreadingovermylinesandtalkingabutwhatIwouldwear.往后的幾個星期，在母親的一再鼓勵下，我漸漸地以擔(dān)任旁白的角色感到驕傲。利用午飯時間，我們又一起念臺詞，議論到時候我該穿什么樣的演出服裝。Backstagethenightoftheperformance,Ifeltnervous.Afewminutesbeforetheplay,myteachercameovertome.
