Love from Children’s Eyes

孩子眼中的愛是什麼

作者不詳   譯/顧美芬

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'

Rebecca- age 8

奶奶風濕痛，沒辦法彎腰塗腳指甲油，

所以爺爺總是幫她，

就算爺爺自己的手也有風濕，

這就是愛。

利百加（八歲）

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'
Danny - age 7

愛就是媽咪替爸爸泡了咖啡，

還沒給爸爸之前，

自己先嚐一小口，

來確定味道還可以。

丹尼（七歲）

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.'

Nikka - age 6

如果你想把愛學得更好，

要從討厭的朋友開始。

妮卡（六歲）

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'
Noelle - age 7

愛就是你告訴一個男生你喜歡他的襯衫，

然後他就每天都穿那件。

儂愛（七歲）

'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'
Cindy - age 8

鋼琴演奏會時，我在舞台上嚇呆了，

我看看注視著我的人群，

看到了爸爸向我又揮手又微笑，

全場只有他那樣，

我就不怕了。

辛蒂（八歲）

'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'
Elaine-age 5

愛就是媽咪把最好的一塊雞給爸爸。

依蓮（五歲）

'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'
Mary Ann - age 4

愛就是即使你把狗狗獨自留在家裏一整天，

牠還是舔你的臉。

瑪莉安（四歲）

'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.'
Jessica - age 8

如果你不是真心的，

你就不該說我愛你；

如果你是真心的，

就該常常說，

因為人老是忘記。

潔西卡（八歲）

An elderly gentleman recently lost his wife,
upon seeing the man cry, a little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

一位長者最近失去了妻子，

一個小男孩看見他哭，

就到他院子裡，爬上他的膝，坐在那兒。

媽媽問小男孩對鄰居說了什麼，

「什麼都沒說，我只是幫他哭。」

愛就是當想要對先生發飆時，緊急將火辣的言語從喉頭上吞了下來。

降溫了再說！
