大人也不過是長大的小孩



Dear son...
孩子…

The day that you see me old and I am already not able to do things myself, please have patience and try to understand me.
哪天你看到我日漸老去,身體也漸漸不行,請耐著性子試著了解我……
　

If I make a dirty mess when eating or if I cannot dress myself,please have patience.
如果我吃的髒兮兮,如果我不會穿衣服……有耐性一點……
Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.
你記得我曾花多久時間教你這些事嗎?


If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times...do not interrupt me, listen to me.
如果,當我一再重覆述說同樣的事情…不要打斷我,聽我說…..
When you were a child, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you fell asleep...
你小時候,我必須一遍又一遍的讀著同樣的故事,直到你靜靜睡著……..


When I do not want to have a shower, neither be ashamed of me nor scold me...
當我不想洗澡,不要羞辱我也不要責罵我……
Remember when I had to chase you with thousands of excuses I invented so that you would take a bath.
你記得小時後我曾編出多少理由,只為了哄你洗澡…..
　

When you see my ignorance on new technologies, give me some time and don't look at me with your mocking smile…
當你看到我對新科技的無知,給我一點時間,不要掛著嘲弄的微笑看著我…
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…如何面對你的生命……
　

When at some moment during our conversation, I forget or lose my memory, let me have some time to remember...
如果交談中我忽然失憶不知所云,給我一點時間回想…
and if I cannot do it, do not panic...
如果我還是無能為力,請不要緊張…..
the most important thing to me is not our conversation, but to be with you and to have you listening to me.
對我而言重要的不是對話,而是能跟你在一起,和你的傾聽….


When I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when I don't.
當我不想吃東西時,不要勉強我.我清楚知道該什麼時候進食.


When my tired legs do not allow me to walk, please give me your hand, the way I did when you took your first steps.
當我的腿不聽使喚…..扶我一把…如同我曾扶著你踏出你人生的第一步….
　

When the day comes that I tell you that I don't want to live any more...do not get angry...
當哪天我告訴你不想再活下去了….請不要生氣….
Someday you will understand.
總有一天你會了解….
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.
試著了解我已是風燭殘年,來日可數.
　

Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you..
有一天你會發現,即使我有許多過錯,我總是盡我所能要給你最好的…
　

When I get closer to you, you must not feel sad, angry or impotent.
當我靠近你時不要覺得感傷,生氣或無奈.
You must always be next to me, and try to understand me and to help me as I did for you when you started living.
你要緊挨著我,如同我當初幫著你展開人生一樣的了解我,幫我….


Help me to walk, and help me to end my way with love and patience.
扶我一把,用愛跟耐心幫我走完人生…
I will pay you with a smile and the immense love I have had always for you.
我將用微笑和我始終不變無邊無際的愛來回報你.

I love you son...
