What is a Mother?
By Katherine Nelson Davis
妈妈的爱
A mother is someone to shelter and guide us,
To love us, whatever we do,
with a warm understanding and infinite patience.
And wonderful gentleness, too.
无论我们做什麽
妈妈都是我们的庇护，引导和爱神
带着善意的理解，无比的温柔和耐心
How often a mother means swift reassurance
In soothing our small, childish fears,
How tenderly mothers watch over their children
And treasure them all through the years!
有多少次
平息我们幼小心灵的恐惧
妈妈就是最快的抚慰，最大的安心
孩童的岁月里
妈妈是怎样爱我们如珍宝，
怜惜的守望，看护着我们
The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness
For any mistake, big or small
And generous always in helping her family,
Whose needs she has placed above all.
妈妈总是
包容我们所有的过错，无论大小
心中充满了宽容和怜悯
妈妈总是
视家庭的地位至上，超越一切
把全部热心，慷慨的给与家人
A mother can utter a word of compassion
And make all our cares fall away;
She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter
And make life delightful and gay.
妈妈总是
怀着深切的同情，用亲切的言语
化解我们心中所有的烦恼，怨恨
妈妈的笑声
像阳光般灿烂，在家中充满
使生活漾溢快乐，处处温馨
A mother possesses incredible wisdom
And wonderful insight and skill
In each human heart is that one special corner
Which only a mother can fill!
妈妈有卓越的远见和不凡的技能
妈妈的智慧令人难以置信
在每一个人的内心深处
都有一个角落，它永远属于
亲爱的妈妈，伟大的母亲。
