当我老了 When I Turn Old
当我老了，不再是原來的我
请理解我，对我有一点耐心。
When I turn old, when I am not the original me,
Please understand me and have patience with me.
当我把菜汤洒到自己的衣服上时，当我忘记怎样系鞋带时，
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。
When I drip gravy all over my clothes, when I forget to tie my shoelaces,
Please remember how i taught you what to do, and how to do many things by hand.
当我一遍又一遍地重復你早己听膩的话语,
请耐心地听我说,不要打断我。 你小的时候，我不得不重復那个讲过千百遍的故事，直到你进入梦乡。
When I repeatedly tell you things that you’re tired of hearing,
Please be patient and listen to me. Please do not interrupt me. When you were young, I told you the same story over and over again until you were sound asleep.
当我需要你帮我洗澡时，请不要责备我。
还記得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗？
When I need you to help me bathe,
Please do not scold me. Do you still remember how when you were small I had to coax you to take a bath?
当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时，请不要嘲笑我。
想一想當初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个 “为什么”。
When I do not understand new technology,
Please do not laugh at me or mock me. Please think how I used to be so patient with you to answer your every “Why”.
当我由于双腿疲勞而无法行走时，
请伸出你年轻有力的手攙扶我。 就像你小时候学習走路时，我扶你那样。
When my two legs are tired and I cannot walk anymore,
Please stretch out your powerful hands to lend me a hand, just like when you were a baby learning to walk I held both your hands.
当我突然忘記我们谈话的主题，请给我一些时間让我回想。
其实对我來说，谈论什么并不重要， 只要你能在一旁听我说，我就很满足。
When I suddenly forget what subject we are discussing,
Please give me a little time to recollect . Actually, it does not matter what we are talking about; as long as you are by my side , I am so contended and happy already.
当你看着老去的我，请不要悲伤。
理解我，支持我，就像你刚开始学习 如何生活时我对你那样。
When you see the old me, please do not be sad .
Please understand me and support me, just like how I was with you when you were young and were just learning to face life.
当初我引導你走上人生的路，如今请陪伴我走完最后的路。给我你的爱和耐心，我会报以感激的微笑，这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。
At the beginning, I guided you to the path of life . Now I ask you to keep me company to finish this last leg of my life. Give me your love and patience, I will give you a grateful smile, and crystallized in this smile is my endless love for you.
百善孝为先, 万行德为贵
给人信心 给人欢喜 给人希望 给人方便
