當我老了,不再是原來的我。請理解我,對我有一點耐性。
When I am old and no longer myself, please understand me and have a little patience with me.
當我把菜湯灑到自己的衣服上時,當我忘記怎樣繫鞋帶時,請想一想當初我是如何手把手地教你。
When I spill soup onto my clothing, when I forget how to tie my shoelaces, please consider how I have taught you with your hands in mine.
當我一遍又一遍地重複你早已聽膩的話語,請耐心地聽我說,不要打斷我。你小的時候,我不得不重複那個講過千百遍的故事,直到你進入夢鄉。
When I reiterate to you words that you have heard many times before, please patiently listen to me and do not interrupt me. When you were young, I retold you the same story that had been told a thousand times, until you enter the dreamland.
當我需要你幫我洗澡時,請不要責備我。還記得小時候我千方百計哄你洗澡的情形嗎?
When I need you to help me bathe, please do not resent me. Do you remember the scenes about how I had to use different tricks to convince you to take a bath?
當我對新科技和新事物不知所措時,請不要嘲笑我。想一想,當初我怎樣耐心地回答你的每一個「為什麼」。
When I do not know what to do with new technology and things, please do not ridicule me. Consider how I patiently answered your every question of why?
當我由於雙腿疲勞而無法行走時,請伸出你年輕有力的手攙扶我。就像你小時候學習走路時,我扶你那樣。
When I cannot walk due to my tired legs, please stretch out your young and strong arms to hold and support me, like the way I held you when you were learning to walk in your early days.
當我忽然忘記我們談話的主題,請給我一些時間讓我回想。其實對我來說,談論什麼並不重要,只要你能在一旁聽我說,我就很滿足。
When I suddenly forget the topic of our conversation, please give me a moment to collect my thoughts. In reality, it does not matter to me what we talk about, I feel satisfy as long as you hear me by my side.
當你看著老去的我,請不要悲傷。理解我、支持我,就像你剛剛開始學習如何生活時,我對你那樣。
As you look at my aging self, do not feel sad. Understand me and support me, as how I treated you when you started to learn about life.
當初我引導你走上人生路,如今請陪伴我走完最後的路。
I guided you onto the road of life in the beginning; now please accompany me to finish walking the last stretch of my road.
給我你的愛和耐心,我會抱以感激的微笑,這微笑中凝結著我對你無限的愛。
Give me your love and patience, I will hold them with a grateful smile, a smile concentrated with the infinite love I have for you.
《珍惜!愛惜!>>
