《游子吟》
作者:孟郊
朗读:高贵成
慈母手中线,游子身上衣。
临行密密缝,意恐迟迟归。
谁言寸草心,报得三春晖。
A Traveller's Song
By Meng Jiao(751—814)
Threads in an affectionate mother's hands
Are the clothes on a son who's going away.
Finer and finer she puts
her stitches before he leaves,
For fear his return may run it long delay.
Our heart, tiny as an inch-long blade of grass,
Who says the sunshine of spring it can repay?
Note(注)
The sunshine of spring to a blade of grass is like motherly love to a song that can never be adequately repaid.
