2015年的母亲节是5月10日,还有不到一个月的时间了。想用特别的方式表达对母亲的爱,不妨给母亲朗诵一首英文诗表达你对妈妈深深的爱。

Before Two Portraits of My Mother

I love the beautiful young girl of this

portrait, my mother, painted years ago

when her forehead was white, and there was no

shadow in the dazzling Venetian glass

of her gaze. But this other likeness shows

the deep trenches across her forehead’s white

marble. The rose poem of her youth that

her marriage sang is far behind. Here is

my sadness: I compare these portraits, one

of a joy-radiant brow, the other care-

heavy: sunrise—and the thick coming on

of night. And yet how strange my ways appear,

for when I look at these faded lips my heart

smiles, but at the smiling girl my tears start.

—Emile Nelligan (1879-1941)

两幅母亲肖像前

我深爱这名美丽少女的画像,

她是我的母亲,绘制于多年前

当时她的前额白皙无瑕

如同威尼斯玻璃般闪亮,没有一丝阴影 在她双眸中。

但另一幅肖像显出深深的纹痕布满她皎白大理石般平滑的前额

她少女时的那 首玫瑰情诗

曾在她婚礼中被咏唱,如今已经远去。

此时我心悲伤:比较这两幅肖像

一幅显得 神情愉悦,另一幅显得心事重重

一幅如同朝阳初升

另一幅则如迎面而来的阴郁 黑夜。

然而我的反应却显得非比寻常

因为当我看着她失去光泽的双唇,

我心发出微笑,但看着那名微笑的少女

我的泪竟开始涌出。

—艾米里·奈利根
