Dear son……
孩子…
The day that you see me old-当我日渐老去的时候The day that you see me old and I am already not, have patience and try to understand me …
哪天你看到我日渐老去,身体也渐渐不行,请耐着性子试着了解我……
If I get dirty when eating… if I cannot dress… have patience.
如果我吃的脏兮兮,如果我不会穿衣服……有耐性一点……
Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.
你记得我曾花多久时间教你这些事吗?
If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one
times… do not interrupt me… listen to me
如果,当我一再重复述说同样的事情…不要打断我,听我说….
When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep… When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me…
你小时候,我必须一遍又一遍的读着同样的故事,直到你静静睡着…….
当我不想洗澡,不要羞辱我也不要责骂我……
Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath…When you see my on new technologies… give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile…
你记得小时后我曾编出多少理由,只为了哄你洗澡….当你看到我对新科技的无知,给我一点时间,不要挂着嘲弄的微笑看着我
I taught you how to do so many things… to eat well, to dress well… to confront life…
我曾教了你多少事情啊….如何好好的吃,好好的穿…如何面对你的生命……
When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation… let me have the necessary time to remember… and if I cannot do it;do not become nervous… as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…
如果交谈中我忽然失忆不知所云,给我一点时间回想…如果我还是无能为力,请不要紧张….对我而言重要的不是对话,而是能跟你在一起,有你的倾听….
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not.
当我不想吃东西时,不要勉强我.我清楚知道该什么时候进食
When my tired legs do not allow me walk… give me your hand… the same way I did when you gave your first steps.
当我的腿不听使唤….扶我一把….如同我曾扶着你踏出你人生的第一步….
And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more…
that I want to die… do not get angry… some day you will understand…
当哪天我告诉你不想再活下去了….请不要生气….总有一天你会了解…
