All glory and pride of the world, all come from the mother. --- gorky

　　感謝母親(Thank for mother )

　　My Mother isa kind and gentle woman. She is always very gentle. She takes good care of her children and keeps them all at school. I have one brother and two sistets. So she gets four children in all. She gives us every comfort. We all love her and she loves us also.

　　My mother has too much to do in bringing us up. As our family is too poor to keep a servant, my mother has always to do very much work. She gets up very early and sleeps very late every day. She works hard, yet without complaining.

　　She is also a thrifty, and industrious woman. She saves every cent that she can and keeps everything in order. As she has been busy eversince she was young, she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, her hair becomes silver white, but she works as hard as ever.

　　Often she says to us, "work while you work, play while you play. If you do not work, you will become lazy and of no use to society." What piece of good advice this is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind.

　　【譯文】

　　我的母親是一位心地善良、性情溫和的女性。她總是彬彬有禮。她細心地照顧孩子并使他們都上學讀書。我有一個哥哥，兩個妹妹，所以她總共有四個孩子。她使我們做每件事時都感到舒適。我們都愛她，她也愛我們。

　　為了撫養我們，母親有太多的.事要做。因為我們家很窮，雇不起傭人，母親總是必須做很多工作。她每天起早貪黑，辛苦地工作，從無怨言。

　　她又是一位節儉勤勉的婦女。她盡可能地節省每一分錢，并且使每一件事情都井井有條。由于年輕時就一直忙碌，所以從外表看上去更見蒼老。她的臉布滿皺紋，頭發也變成了灰白，但她仍像從前一樣辛勤地操勞。

　　她常對我們說：“工作時工作，玩樂時玩樂，如果不工作，你將變得懶惰，從而無益于社會。”這是一番多么好的忠告啊!我們必須珍視它，并將它牢記心中。

　　母親節(Mother's Day)

　　Today is Mother's Day. I know some of my classmates are going to help their mothers with the housework，others are going to buy some flowers for their mothers. I want to say to her that I love her very much. But as a boy，it is a bit difficult for me to show my heart. I think only girls can do that.

　　My mother is very kind. She takes care of me day and night. She spends little money， but buys anything for me that I need.

　　This time I must show my love. I am going to give her a card and write like this，"I love you， mother!" I am going to put it under her pillow.

　　今天是母親節。我知道一些同學打算幫媽媽做些家務， 還有一些同學打算給媽媽買些花。我只是想對媽媽說一聲， 我非常愛她。但是對我來說這樣表達我的情感有點兒難， 因為我是個男孩。我覺得只有女生才這樣做。

　　我媽媽是個非常善良的人。她對我照顧得無微不至。她自己很少花錢， 但能給我買我需要的任何東西。

　　這次我一定要表示我對她的愛。我打算送她一張寫有“我愛你， 媽媽”的卡片， 我還打算把它放在她的枕頭下面。

　　我的媽媽(My mother )

　　My mother is sixty-three years old， and for the last forty year she has been the village doctor。 She has a small clinic that she prepares medicine and treats small injuries，and also sells canned powder milk。

　　Our house has people in and out at all hours of the day and night。

　　The villagers always like to come to her clinic to see the doctor and to meet their neighbors， too。

　　Almost all the villagers come to my mother when their baby is due。 My mother is very good at predicting the day the baby will come。

　　Sometimes my mother will not get enough sleep if the babies come late at night or early in the morning。

　　There are special rooms for the mother and baby， and usually they stay at the doctor's house about twenty-four hours。

　　We always like to see the new babies get their first bath because they look so red and small。

　　All the village people know and trust my mother because she is such a quiet， kind，and experienced friend of theirs。
