母親一生的謊言雙語

  謊言雖可惡,但是母親們善意的謊言卻讓我們覺得無比幸福,暖意融融,時時流露出一股柔情,值得我們一輩子去享受、去珍藏。接下來,小編給大家準備了,歡迎大家參考與借鑑。

  

  Our mothers are big liars. There, I said it.

  我曾說過,我們的媽媽是大謊言家。

  When we were little kids, they told lies like “If you swallow a watermelon seed, it will grow inside your stomach”.

  當我們還是年幼孩童時,她們會糊弄我們說“如果你把西瓜籽吞下去,它就會在你的肚子裡生根發芽。”

  And they keep lying even now that we are grown up. But how can you blame a woman who sometimes lies to you because she loves you?

  甚至在我們長大成人後,母親們仍一直用謊言“哄騙”我們。然而,你又怎麼能責怪因為愛你而說謊的母親呢?

  As Mother’s Day is upon us, let’s take a look at some of moms’ love-wrapped lies.

  就讓我們在母親節來臨之際,一起體味母親們充滿愛意的謊言吧。

  Nothing’s wrong; I’m fine.

  放心,我一切都好。

  It’s the biggest lie. Every time you asked your mom how she was, she would put up a smile and use this line, even when it was after a big fight with your dad or she was caught weeping in her bedroom. She never told you that she was heartbroken.

  這可是最大的謊言。每次你問母親最近好嗎,她都會笑著和你說“放心,我挺好的”,即使她剛剛和你的父親大吵了一架或者悶在房裡哭泣,也從不告訴你她的傷心事。

  You are special.

  你很特別。

  Moms say it a lot. And for this reason, we grew up believing that we were truly outstanding and extraordinary–more talented and accomplished than our peers. Sadly, there would always come the day when we figured out that we were actually not.

  母親們經常這麼說,正因如此,我們從小就認為自己真的很優秀並且與眾不同,比同齡人更有才華,更有成就。不幸的是,終有一天我們會發現自己實際上沒那麼出眾。

  This is going to hurt me more than it will hurt you.

  我比你更難受。

  How stupid of a statement is that, really, when you think about it? Sure, seeing you cry over a vaccination shot, being punished or getting dumped can be emotionally gut-wrenching for your mom, but will it hurt her more than it hurts you? Anyway, it’s sweet, isn’t it?

  真的,如果你仔細想想,這是多傻的想法呀?當你接種疫苗而哭泣時,當你被處罰或被甩時,你的母親會感到很揪心,可是這對她的傷害難道比對你更大?不管怎樣,這聽起來很貼心,不是嗎?

  Slow down. You’ve got your whole life to be a grown up.

  慢慢來,你有一生的時間學著長大。

  How true is this one? A recent UK survey shows that 88 percent of people quizzed think that their children are growing up too fast.

  這話有多真呢?英國近期的一項調查顯示88%的被訪者認為他們的孩子成長的太快了。

  Your mom is just one of those parents who are really scared that their little boys or girls will someday outgrow them.

  你的母親正是其中一員,這些父母們真的很擔心自己的孩子會在某一天成長到不再需要他們。

  Those accessories do make my outfit look better.

  這些配飾確實很搭我的衣服。

  When you insisted that her dress would be much improved if she wore the pair of big dangling earrings you gave her as a birthday gift, she never disagreed.

  當你堅持對媽媽說,如果她戴上你作為生日禮物送給她的那副大耳環,衣服會更好看時,她絕對不會反對。

  But if you were watching her closely, you’d have seen her slipping a couple of things from her jewelry box into her purse before she went out.

  但是,如果你仔細觀察,就會發現母親在出門前偷偷地從首飾盒裡拿了一些飾品放進錢包裡。

  我已錯過了很多事,慶幸的是,我還來得及告訴你:也許我平時不擅表達我的愛,但我非常愛你。
