双语美文：一位父亲给儿子的信《当我日渐老去》

雪落无声

　　《千里走单骑》首映脱口戏晚会中窦文涛推荐的：一位父亲给儿子的信。可能部分的句子和原文不一样，不过，这已经够了。正如BBS里一位"昆仑观玉"评论的一样：“千百世父母的真情流露!千百世教人做孝的情劝!” 每一句话都有感染力，”对我而言 重要的不是说话 而是能跟你在一起.“ 这句对长期不在父母身边的游子更甚。

　　Dear son...

　　亲爱的儿子...

　　The day that you see me old and I am already not, have patience and try to understand me …

　　哪天当你看到我日渐老去 身体也渐渐不行 请耐着性子 试着了解我...

　　If I get dirty when eating… if I can not dress… have patience....

　　如果我吃的脏兮兮 甚至已不会穿衣服 耐心一点儿...

　　Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.

　　你记得我曾经花了多少时间 教你这些事吗?

　　When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me…

　　当我不想洗澡 不要羞辱我也不要责骂我...

　　When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep…

　　If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times… do not interrupt me… listen to me...

　　I taught you how to do so many things… to eat good, to dress well… to confront life…

　　我曾经教会了你多少事情啊 如何好好地吃 好好的穿 如何面对你的生命...

　　When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation… let me have the necessary time to remember…

　　and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous…

　　as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…

　　如果交谈中 我忽然失忆 不知道该说什么了 给我一些时间想想...

　　When my tired legs do not allow me walk... give me your hand…

　　the same way I did when you gave your first steps...

　　当我的腿不听使唤 扶我一把...

　　就像我当初扶着你 踏出你人生的第一步...

　　And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more…

　　that I want to die… do not get angry… some day you will understand…

　　Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived...

　　当哪天我告诉你 我不想再活下去了...

　　有一天你会发现 即使我有许多过错 我总是尽我所能 给你最好的...

　　You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you started living...

　　当我靠近你时 不要觉得感伤 生气 或埋怨...
