我是你媽媽!

2015-04-29 00:00:00辛獻云
新東方英語 2015年5期

I am not Khaleesi, Mother of Dragons, on Game of Thrones1). But I am your mother. So when you don’t listen to me because you’re squabbling over Barbies instead? That angers me, and I must say to you, “I am your mother. Will you listen? Swear to me!”

And then do you reply, “My sword is yours, my life is yours, my heart is yours2)”? No, you don’t. You say, “But she started it!” How can your mother possibly respond to that? Can she say, “I am your mother! I am the wife of your father, and you sprang from these loins! The next time you raise a hand to me is the last time you have hands3)”? No, she can’t say that, because then Child Protective Services4) will come for a visit.

It bothers me that you don’t recognize how all-powerful I am or see how hard I have toiled, all these years, to keep you clothed and fed and stuff5). Sure, you say things like “Mommy, you’re the best mommy in the whole world!” But we both know that’s not even close to true. You’re just in a good mood because I let you have sour gummy worms6) on top of your strawberry fro-yo7). Khaleesi, Mother of Dragons, would never offer her vast legions8) of freed slaves fro-yo, unless “fro-yo” is also an acronym9) for that chilling, you-only-live-once sensation that you get when brutally murdering fools who refuse to bow down to Khaleesi, Mother of Dragons.

I am not Ma from Little House on the Prairie10). But I am your mother. So when you can’t do your chores without whining11)? That makes me mad. You like to pretend that you’re little Laura Ingalls, but would you play with a corncob12) doll for hours? No. You’d throw that shit at the wall and whine, “No fair! I want a real toy, not an old vegetable!” And I’d say, “That’s it! You’re playing with nothing but old vegetables from now on!” And then you’d cry and stomp your feet, and I’d send you to your room, and then I’d feel all guilty and conflicted, and, instead of churning13) milk into butter or frying up some lard14) cakes like Ma would, I’d assuage15) my guilt by ordering you some new Legos online.

And it would bother me how little you’d seem to care about your brand-new Legos when they arrived. Sure, you’d open the box and start building with them immediately, but soon after that you and your sister would be screaming over who gets this or that special block. Could I say, “Girls! Go milk Bessie16) and then stitch17) on your samplers18) for the rest of the afternoon”? No, because you have never lifted a gallon of milk, let alone pulled on a cow’s udders19) or used a thread and needle to sew anything. And if I tried to make you sew all day long? Then Child Protective Services would have to come back for another visit.

I am not Ron Weasley’s mom, from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone20). I don’t knit sweaters for kids who aren’t my own kids, least of all creepy orphans with bad attitudes. I also don’t cook or shoot magic out of my fingers, and if an evil snake-faced man started chasing me I’d hide in the broom closet and let him take the creepy orphan, as long as he left me alone.

But I am your mother. So when you’re crying like crazy over not getting dessert tonight, shrieking and weeping as if your parents have been murdered and an evil snake-faced man is chasing you? That really pisses me off. So I say, “Girls who shriek like they’re about to be murdered when they don’t get dessert never, ever get dessert, ever! Now go to your room!” And then you scream and cry and stomp off to your room, and I start planning tomorrow night’s dessert, because I feel guilty and conflicted. Molly Weasley would never do that, and neither would Ma Ingalls. Khaleesi, Mother of Dragons, might plan dessert, if by “dessert” you mean that relaxing time right after dinner when one invades a sovereign land and brutally murders all of its wealthy slave owners.

But I am not Khaleesi, Mother of Dragons. I am your mother. For your purposes, in fact, there is no difference. Because even though I would never cut off your hands, I could make you play with nothing but old vegetables from now on. That’s the kind of power I can wield21), even though I never actually wield it.

You must obey me. I know it seems like I must obey you, but that is an illusion. I am the one in charge here. Seriously, I am. Stop looking at me that way! I will answer injustice with justice!22) I mean it! You have to do what I say, or else! I am the blood of the dragon!23) Why are you laughing? Reject this gift and I shall show you no mercy! Where are you going? Wait! Wa-a-a-a-ait!

我不是《權力的游戲》中的龍母卡麗熙。但我是你的媽媽。所以,當你為了芭比娃娃和別人爭吵不休、聽不進我的話時,我會怎樣呢?我會非常生氣,一定會教訓你:“我是你媽媽。你到底聽不聽話?向我保證!”

那么你會回答說“我的劍是你的,我的命是你的,我的心是你的”嗎?不不,你不會的。你會說:“可那是她先和我爭的啊!”你媽媽又會怎樣作答呢?她是否會說“我是你媽媽!是你父親的妻子,而你是我身上掉下的肉!下次你再敢對我動手,我就讓你沒有手”?不不,她不能這樣說,因為這樣說,兒童保護服務機構就會找上門來。

讓我惱怒的是,你根本沒有意識到這么多年來,我已變得多么強悍,簡直無所不能,也不明白我到底有多么艱辛,這都是為了照顧你的吃喝拉撒。當然,你會說:“媽咪,你是全世界最好的媽咪!”但我們心知肚明你根本就是言不由衷。你不過是碰巧心情不錯而已,因為我允許你吃了草莓凍酸奶上那層酸味的蠕蟲軟糖。龍母卡麗熙從來不會讓那些被她解救的浩浩蕩蕩的奴隸大軍吃凍酸奶,除非“凍酸奶”的意思是指對那些膽敢不服從龍母卡麗熙的蠢貨痛下殺手時所感受到的那種冰冷的、生命只有一次的酷爽感覺。

我不是《草原上的小屋》里的媽媽。但我是你的媽媽。所以,當你一干家務就牢騷不停的時候,我會怎樣呢?我會氣瘋的。你喜歡假裝自己就是小勞拉·英戈爾斯,但你能拿一根玉米棒子當玩具一玩就是個把小時嗎?不能。你會把那玩意兒朝墻上扔,大聲抱怨:“這不公平!我要一件真正的玩具,而不是一根破玉米棒子!”我會說:“好吧!從現在起,你什么都沒得玩了,只能玩破爛蔬菜!”那么你就會跺著腳大哭大叫,我就會讓你回到自己的房間里。那么接下來呢,我心里就會有各種內疚,各種糾結,雖然我不會像《草原上的小屋》里的媽媽那樣,將牛奶制成黃油,或者煎一些豬油餅,但我會在網上給你買一些新的樂高玩具,以減輕我內心的愧疚。

讓我惱怒的是,當你嶄新的樂高玩具送到時,你似乎并不太感興趣。當然,你會打開盒子,立刻就開始拼搭起來,但很快你就會和妹妹爭吵起來,就為了搶幾塊特殊的積木。我能說“女孩們!先去給貝茜擠奶,之后剩下的下午時間都要做刺繡”嗎?不能,因為你從來沒有提過一加侖的牛奶,更不用說擠奶或者做針線活了。我要是強迫你整天都做針線活呢?那么兒童保護服務機構就會再次找上門來。

我不是《哈利·波特與魔法石》中羅恩·韋斯萊的媽媽。我不會給別人家的孩子織毛衣,更不會給那些態度惡劣、令人恐怖的孤兒織毛衣。我也不會做飯,不會用手指施展魔法。如果我被一個邪惡的、臉長得跟蛇一樣的男人追趕,我會躲在雜物間里,讓他捉走那個令人恐怖的孤兒,只要他別碰我。

但我是你的媽媽。所以,當你因為晚上沒吃甜點就歇斯底里地哭鬧,哭天喊地好像自己的父母被人害了,又好像在被一個邪惡的、臉長得跟蛇一樣的男人追趕時,我會怎樣呢?我會氣個半死的。我會說:“誰要是因為沒有吃上甜點就哭天喊地好像要被人殺了一樣,誰就永遠永遠都別再想吃甜點!現在給我回房間去!”那么你就會又哭又叫地跺著腳回到自己的房間,而我則會開始計劃明天晚上的甜點,因為我內心感到愧疚和糾結。莫麗·韋斯萊從來不會這樣做,英戈爾斯家的媽媽也不會。龍母卡麗熙可能會計劃做甜點,假如“甜點”的意思就是指在入侵一個主權國家、野蠻地殺害所有富裕的奴隸主之后享受的餐后休閑時光。

但我不是龍母卡麗熙。我是你的媽媽。不過事實上對你來說,兩者并沒有什么差別。因為盡管我從來不可能砍掉你的雙手,但我可以讓你從此之后只能玩破爛蔬菜。這是我可以行使的權力,盡管我從來還沒有行使過。

你必須服從我。雖然表面上好像是我必須服從你,但這只是幻覺而已。我才是這里的主宰。我可不是開玩笑的。不要再那樣看著我!我必以正義來回擊不義!我說到做到!你必須服從我的命令,不然的話,哼!我是龍的血脈!你笑什么?你要是敢拒絕這個禮物我就對你不客氣!你要去哪里?等一等!等——一——等!
