But at home; a different story is told. How we tread our loved ones, young and old. Later; in the kitchen; as I cooked our meal; my daughter crept up to me; very still. When I turned; I nearly knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I barked with a frown. She sauntered away,with her little heart broken. I didn’t realize how harshly I’d spoken.
That night,as I lay awake in bed,God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said,“While dealing with a stranger; you’re calm and polite,but with those you love,you’re quick to excite。。。 Go look right now on the kitchen floor; you’ll find some flowers there bythe door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself—pink; yellow; and blue. She stood there quietly; not to spoil your surprise; and you never saw the tears in her eyes.”
By this time; I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her bed; “Wake up,sweetheart; wake up;” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled;“I found’em; out by the tree. I wrapped’em in a napkin; just for you. I knew you’d like’em. Especially the blue.” I said; “I’m so sorry that I missed them today。。。 And I shouldn’t have fussed at you that way.”
And she whispered; “Mommy; that’s okay。。。 I still love you any way.” I hugged her and said. “I love you too。。。 And I love my flowers; especially the blue.”
Are you aware that:If you die tomorrow; the pany that you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days。 But the family you leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives。 And e to think of it; we pour ourselves more into our work than into our families—an unwise investment indeed。

金秋时节(1)
佚名
我突然想起了自己的小女儿,现在她在阿姆斯特丹生活。她一会儿就会打电话过来问:“你种上洋葱了吗?”然后,我就会跟她开玩笑说,事实上,我正等她回来帮我呢。这样,我俩便双双陷入回忆之中,因为,我们曾经总在整个金秋时节的午后,一起种洋葱,当她还只有三岁半时,就满怀孩童的热情和欢欣来帮我了。
那天午后,她最后一次陪在我身边,因为她已经准备上学了。她拿着小桶和铁锨无忧无虑、满心欢喜地走来走去,用土盖洋葱时喊着:“晚安”或者“睡觉觉”,稚嫩的声音叽叽喳喳地说个不停。她发现了“洋葱宝宝”“小洋葱”和“洋葱爸妈”——后者总是偎依在一起。当我们非常卖力地干活时,我刻意去观察自己的孩子,她如此娇小,刚学会走路,挺着一个小圆肚子晃晃悠悠的。
每年秋天我们都会一起种洋葱,在她的童年中无一例外。我每年秋天都能看到她的变化,从蹒跚学步的孩童变成一个女学生,坦率而现实,活力四射。她从不两手插兜地展开幻想,也不再满心欢喜地纵容自己沉湎于幻想。女学生双腿修长了,下巴的线条也改变了,她还剪短了头发。又一个金秋时节,我想,“再见了,玫瑰;再见了,蝴蝶;再见了,女学生。”我一边听她讲故事,一边用力挖土,播种春天的希望。
突然之间,这比我想象的要快很多,我的身边站着一位高挑的少女,她已经长得比我还高了。以往见面的仪式被沉默所取代,我们不再海阔天空地交谈。我想起她的房间满是海报和小装饰品:装满白色卵石、一枚铜制胸针、彩色图画等“宝物”的瓶子,在对钱财一无所知的孩子们看来,这些如此珍贵:她还曾想让大人大声给她念故事书,曾焦急地看着自己房间的蜘蛛问:“它想跟我做朋友吗?”
终于,那个秋天到了,我必须独自栽种洋葱了,我知道从那时起,将不会再有人陪我。但是每年秋季,女儿都会说起种洋葱,言语中流露出怀旧之情,怀念无邪的童年、仙境般的花园以及夏季的最后时光。我们都如此深深地渴望拥有一部时光机器,回到过去,即使仅有一天时间。
母亲对女儿的爱是无限的,每一个瞬间对她来说都是一种幸福、一种震动,哪怕只是有关“洋葱”的这些小事,也能让母亲记忆犹新,回味悠长。
Altogether Autumn
Anonymous
Suddenly I think of my youngest daughter; living now in Amsterdam。 Very soon she will call and ask; “Have you planted the bulbs yet?” Then I will answer teasingly that actually I’m waiting until she es to help me。 And then we will both be overe by nostalgia1; because once we always did that together。 One entire sunny autumn afternoon; when she was just over three and a half years old; she helped me with all the enthusiasm and joyfulness of her age。
It was one of the last afteruoons I had her around because her place in school had already been reserved。 She wandered around so happily carefree2 with her little bucket and spade; covering the bulbs with earth and calling out“Night night” or “Sleep tight”; her little voice chattering constantly on。 She discovered “baby bulbs”and” kiddie bulbs” and “mummy and daddy bulbs”—the latter snuggling3 cozily4 together。 While we were both working so industriously; I watched my child very deliberately。 She was such a tiny thing; between an infant and a toddler; with such a round little tummy。 。 想看书来
金秋时节(2)
Every autumn; throughout her childhood; we repeated the ritual of planting the bulbs together。 And every autumn I saw her changing; the toddler became a schoolgirl; a straightforward realist; full of drive。 Never once dreamy; her hands in her pockets; no longer happily indulging her fantasies5。 The school girl developedlong legs; her jawine changed; she had her hair cut。 It was autumn again and I thought “Bye roses; bye butterflies;bye schoolgirl。” I listened to her stories while we painstakingly burrowed in the earth; planting the promise of spring。
Suddenly; much quicker than I had expected; a tall teenager was standing by my side: she had grown taller than I。 The ritual became rather silent; we no longer chattered away from one subject to another。 I thought about her room full of posters and knick…knacks; how it had been full of treasures in bottles and boxes; white pebbles; a copper brooch; colored drawings; the treasures of a child who still knew nothing of money; who wanted to be read aloud to and who looked anxiously at a spider6 in herroom and asked; “Would he want to be my friend?”
Then came the autumn when I planted the bulbs alone; and knew that from then on it would always be that way。 But every year; in autumn; she talks about it。 Full of nostalgia for the security of childhood; the seclusion of a garden; the final moments of a season。 How both of us would dearly love to have a time machine。 To go back。 Just for a day。

祖母的瓷器(1)
克里斯蒂娜·朗德奎斯特
1949年,父母带着我们3个年幼的孩子,从伊利诺伊州的罗克福德搬到了很远的加州南部。母亲把许多珍贵的传家之物小心翼翼地包裹起来,其中包括祖母留下来的4箱手绘瓷器餐具。祖母选用了“勿忘我”的图案,并亲手绘制在了这些瓷器上。
遗憾的是,在搬家的时候发生了一些意外,其中一箱瓷器没能运到新家,此后也没有再找到。因此,母亲失去了那些茶杯、茶托和碗,只剩下3箱大小不一的盘子和一?
