Mom Knows Best
妈妈最了解
When I was a tiny baby crying all night,
my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.
当我是个小宝宝整夜哭闹的时候，
妈妈依偎在我身旁，唱歌送我入梦乡。
When I was tired and hungry,
she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in.
当我累了饿了的时候，妈妈给我食物和休憩的温暖怀抱。
When I was two running through the field,
she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.
当我两岁在田野里奔跑的时候，她确保我的安全，让我远离危险。
When I fell and hurt myself,
she gave me a hug and lifted me up.
当我摔倒受伤的时候，她给我拥抱，扶我站好。
When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me.
But I talked back loudly,
“I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”
我却大声反驳，“应该允许我吃一些！现在就给我！”
When I was nine watching scary movies,
she said it’d give me awful dreams.
九岁的我看恐怖电影，她说电影会带给我噩梦。
But I shouted back angrily,
“I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”
我却愤怒地回应，“应该允许我看！我不是小孩！”
When I was a teen going out with friends,
she said, “Please be back by ten!”
青少年的我和朋友外出闲逛，她说，“请在十点之前回来！”
But I talked back again —
“I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!”
我却再次顶嘴——“不需要你告诉我什么该不该！我已经17岁了！”
Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those times.
现在我已长大成人，回想那过去的时光。
I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream.
吃了冰激凌让我咳嗽不止。
And had scary dreams after watching that film.
看了恐怖电影让我噩梦连连。
I was late for school from staying out past ten.
上学迟到只因10点还在外游荡。
I regret talking back, not listening to Mom.
我真后悔呀！后悔不该顶嘴，后悔没听妈妈的忠告。
Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!
