One day, my mother was sewing a quilt.
I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Mom, I have a question to ask you,”
I said after a while.
“What?” she replied, still doing her work.
“Is there love between you and Dad?”
I asked her in a very low voice.
She didn't answer immediately.
I was very worried
because I thought I had hurt her.
But at last I heard mymother
say the following words:
“Susan,Look at this thread.
Sometimes it appears,
but most of it disappears in the quilt.
The thread really makes
the quilt strong and durable.
If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.
It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime,
but it's really there. Love is inside.”
一天,母亲正在缝被子,
我静静地坐在她旁边看着她。
过了一会,我说:”妈妈,我想问你一个问题。”
“什么问题?”她一边继续缝着,一边回答道。
我低声地问道:
”你和爸爸之间有没有爱情啊?”
他没有立刻回答。
我担心伤害了她。
我非常尴尬,不知道该怎么办。
不过,后来我听见母亲说:
“苏珊,看看这些线。
有时候,你能看得见,
但是大多数都隐藏在被子里。
这些线使被子坚固耐用。
如果生活就像一床被子,那么爱就是其中的线。
你不可能随时随地看到它,
但是它却实实在在地存在着。
爱是内在的。
