英语名篇诵读 母亲

M-O-T-H-E-R

母亲

Howard Johnson(霍华德·约翰逊)

“M” is for the million things she gave me,

“O” means¹ only that she's growing old,

“T” is for the tears she shed² to save me,

“H” is for her heart of purest gold,

“E” is for her eyes, with love-light shinning,

“R” means right, and right she'll always be.

Put them all together, they spell “Mother”,

A word that means the world to me.

M是她对我无数的付出，

O意味着她慢慢老去，

T是她养育我洒下的辛劳泪珠，

H是她金子般的善心，

E是她闪耀着慈爱之光的眼睛，

R是她永远正确的一言一行。

这些字母加起来就是“母亲”，

这个词对我有至高无上的含义。
