Love Your Mother爱你的母亲

Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute ['tribju:t]（敬意） and show appreciation [ə,pri:ʃi'eiʃən]（欣赏）to the person called MOM though [ðəu]（尽管） some may not say it openly to their mother. There‟s no substitute ['sʌbstitju:t]（替代） for her. Cherish ['tʃeriʃ]（珍惜）every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, she may not agree [ə'gri:] （同意）to our thoughts, she is still your mother! Your mother will be there for you; to listen to your woes your brags your frustrations, etc [it'setrə] . Ask yourself “Have you put

asid[ə'saɪd] enough [ə'nʌf] time for her, to listen to her „blues‟ of working in the kitchen, her tiredness ['taɪrdnɪs] ?”

Be tactful ['tæktfəl], loving and still show her due respect [rɪ'spɛkt], though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond[fɑnd] memories ['meməriz] of the past and also regrets [ri'gret] will be left. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaning less with out her.

译文：爱你的妈妈

让我们花一点点时间，对那个被我们叫做“妈”的人表达敬意和感激之情，虽然有些人当着面说不出口。她是不可替代的。珍惜与她在一起的每一时刻吧。虽然有时候，她可能不是我们最好的朋友，可能不同意我们的想法，但她依然是你的妈妈！

你的妈妈始终陪伴你身边，听你倾诉伤心事，听你神吹海侃，听你诉说受挫的沮丧……扪心自问，“是否曾经抽出过足够的时间陪伴她，听听她讲围着灶台转的„烦心事‟，听听她讲她有多疲惫？”

即使你与她意见不一，也要委婉一些，充满爱心，对她表示出应有的尊敬。一旦她去了，剩下的就只有对过去岁月的美好回忆和无尽的遗憾。

不要以为，与你心最近，你就理所应得。爱她要甚于爱你自己。没有了她，生命将毫无意义。
