all that I am or ever hope to be,
I owe to my angel mother.
I remember my mother’s prayers and
they have always followed me.
they have clung to me all my life.
无论我现在怎么样还是希望以后会怎么样还是希望以后会怎么样,都应当归功于我天使一般的母亲.我记得母亲的那些祷告,它们一直伴随着我,而且己经陪伴了我一生。
---abraham lincoln(亚伯·林肯)
my mother was the most beautiful woman
I ever saw. all I am I owe to my mother.
I attribute all my success in life to the moral,
intellectual and physical education i received
from her.
我的母亲是我见过的最漂亮的女人.我所有的一切都归功于我的母亲.我一生中所有的成就都归功于我从她那儿得到的德.智.体方面的教育
----george washington(乔治·华盛顿)
there never was a woman like her.
she was gentle as a dove and brave as lioness...
the memory of my mother and her teachings were,
after all, the only capital I had to start life with,
and on that capital I have made my way.
从来没有一个女人像她那样。她犹如鸽子般温柔,又如母狮般勇敢...毕竟,对于母亲的记忆和她的教诲是我人生起步的唯一资本,并奠定了我的人生道路.
----andrew jackson (安德鲁·杰克逊)
youth fades; love droops;
the leaves of friendship fall.
a mother’s secret hope outlives them all.
青春会流逝;爱情会枯萎;友谊的绿叶也会凋零。而一个母亲内心的希望比它们都要长久。
----oliver wendell holmes (奥利弗·温戴尔·荷马)
the heart of a mother is a deep abyss
at the bottom of which you will always
find forgiveness.
母亲的心是一个深渊,在它的最深处你总会得到宽恕。
----balzac(巴尔扎克)
