MOTHER“母親”的含義

MOTHER是母親的意思，可你知道MOTHER這個單詞有什么趣味解釋嗎？母親節(jié)就要到了，讓我們來了解一下“母親”的含義吧——

“M” is for the million things she gave me. “M”代表她所給予我的無數(shù)。

“O” means only that she’s growing old. “O”的意思是她在日漸老去。

“T” is for the tears she shed to save me. “T”是她為撫育我灑下的淚。

“H” is for her heart of purest gold. “H”指她有像金子一般的心靈。

“E” is for her eyes， with the love-light shining. “E”就是她的眼睛里面洋溢著愛的光芒。

“R” means right， and right she’ll always be. “R”的意思是正確，因為她永遠都是對的。

Put them all together， they spell “MOTHER”， A word that means the world to me. 將以上字母串在一起就是“母親(mother)”，這個是我整個的世界。

A mother’s love is like a circle， it has no beginning and ending. It keeps going around and around ever expanding， touching everyone who comes in touch with it. Engulfing them like the morning’s mist， warming them like the noontime sun， and covering them like a blanket of evening stars. A mother’s love is like a circle， it has no beginning and ending.
