One day, my mother was sewing a quilt.
I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Mom, I have a question to ask you,”
I said after a while.
“What?” she replied, still doing her work.
“Is there love between you and Dad?”
I asked her in a very low voice.
She didn't answer immediately.
I was very worried
because I thought I had hurt her.
But at last I heard mymother
say the following words:
“Susan,Look at this thread.
Sometimes it appears,
but most of it disappears in the quilt.
The thread really makes
the quilt strong and durable.
If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.
It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime,
but it's really there. Love is inside.”
一天，母親正在縫被子，
我靜靜地坐在她旁邊看著她。
過了一會，我說：”媽媽，我想問你一個問題。”
“什么問題?”她一邊繼續縫著，一邊回答道。
我低聲地問道：
”你和爸爸之間有沒有愛情啊?”
他沒有立刻回答。
我擔心傷害了她。
我非常尷尬，不知道該怎么辦。
不過，后來我聽見母親說：
“蘇珊，看看這些線。
有時候，你能看得見，
但是大多數都隱藏在被子里。
這些線使被子堅固耐用。
如果生活就像一床被子，那么愛就是其中的線。
你不可能隨時隨地看到它，
但是它卻實實在在地存在著。
愛是內在的。
