Presents To Mother

　　There was a woman who had three sons. When they had grown up the sons left home went out on their own and prospered years later. Getting back together they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.

　　一個(gè)女人有3個(gè)兒子。長(zhǎng)大成人后，兒子們紛紛出外謀生，數(shù)年后功成名就。回到家鄉(xiāng)，他們聚在一起，商量送什么禮物給年邁的母親。

　　The first said "I will build a big house for our mother."

　　第一個(gè)說(shuō)：“我要給母親建一所大房子。”

　　The second said "I will send her a Mercedes with a driver."

　　第二個(gè)說(shuō)：“我要把一輛梅塞德斯連同司機(jī)一起送給母親。”

　　The third said "Remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible And you know she can't see very well. I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot recites it."

　　第三個(gè)說(shuō)：“你們還記得吧？媽媽特別喜歡讀《圣經(jīng)》。你們也知道，她的眼現(xiàn)在有點(diǎn)花了。我要送她一只非同尋常的鸚鵡，這只鸚鵡可以將整部《圣經(jīng)》背誦下來(lái)，神父?jìng)兓?2年的時(shí)間才教會(huì)它。媽媽只需要說(shuō)出篇章、段落，這只鸚鵡就能把它背出來(lái)。”

　　Soon thereafter mom sent out her letters of thanks.

　　之后不久，母親給兒子們分別回信表示感謝。

　　"Milton" she wrote to one son "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room but I have to clean the whole house."

　　“米爾頓，”她在信中給一個(gè)兒子寫道，“你為我建的房子實(shí)在有點(diǎn)太大了，我只住一個(gè)房間，卻需要打掃整所房子。”

　　"Gerald" she wrote to another "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude"

　　“杰羅德，”她給另一個(gè)兒子寫道，“我太老了，不能再出去旅游了。大部分時(shí)間我都待在家里，那輛梅塞德斯很少用。而且，那個(gè)司機(jī)也太粗魯了！”

　　"Dearest Donald" she wrote to her third son "you have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious."

　　“我最親愛(ài)的唐納德，”在給第三個(gè)兒子的信中她寫道，“你最知道媽媽需要什么，那只小雞非常好吃。”
