感謝我的父母 Thanks to My Parents
A distance of 500 miles separates my college from my hometown, an old city, where my parents have been living, but my heart has never been away for a single step, because the lesson from them will be a gift of lifetime.
我的大學離我的家鄉，一個古老的城市，我的父母一直住在那里，相隔500英里，但是我的心從來沒有離開過一步，因為從他們那里得到的教訓將是我一生的禮物。
When I was still 15, the laid-offs, or rather untimely retirements, of both my Mum and dad, arrived by far earlier than ever expected. Moreover, it could be hardly imagined how much their careers meant to them other than earning money.
當我還是15歲的時候，我的媽媽和爸爸的下崗，或者是不及時的退休，比我預想的要早得多。此外，很難想象他們的職業對他們來說意味著什么，而不是賺錢。
Nevertheless, it would be not long before they managed to get over such a blow. They thus underwent all kinds of odd jobs they could run into, be they dirty or painstaking. That way with sufficient money for my tuition fee and living expenses I went through my three academic years.
然而，他們很快就能克服這樣的打擊。他們因此經歷了各種各樣的奇怪的工作，不管他們是骯臟的還是辛苦的。這樣一來，我的學費和生活費就足夠了。
Now one of them is getting weaker and both older, but the lesson that God only helps those who help themselves they taught me will endure in my mind despite the passage of time.
現在，他們中的一個變得越來越虛弱，越來越老，但是，上帝只幫助那些幫助他們自己的人，他們教會我，盡管時間流逝，我仍將在我的心中永存。
