写给我生命中最亲爱的两个人
To my dearest two
你们或许
You two may
觉得自己
feel yourselves
在被时代推着
pushed by the times
步履不停
had to keep walking
但你们让我有了停下来
but you get me a chance to stop
创造自己的时代的机会
to create my own times
你们都和我说
You both told me
退一步海阔天空
take a step back to get more space
你们也都提醒我
and you both remind me that
因为快乐才去做
I am supposed to do it for my happiness
你们总是把身边的家人照顾得很好
You two take care of family around you
同时也都有事业争取到了经济独立
and also gain economic independence
但你们生活的信条并不相同
but you two live in different mottos
一个相信贵在坚持、肩膀上总扛着责任
one for persistence and responsbility
一个追求真我与内省、总有深入的反思
one for true self and deep reflection
你们不同但对我来说都同等重要
You are different but equally significant
言传身教告诉我女性可以是这样的
in showing that women can be like this
我很骄傲自己在变得更像你们两个人
I am proud that I am like both of you
随着年龄增长 我也体会到更多
as my age grows and feels more
能够理解更多 也欣赏更多
understands more and appreciate more
你们给我的爱是坚强的后盾
your love and the firm support as my shield
感谢你们让我看到
Thank you for showing me
你可以怎么关心自己的父母家人
that how you show your care to your parents
在异地可以常常打电话、家长里短聊聊天
by calling them regularly and chatting anything
在家乡可以定期突击买点好吃的去看看老人
by visiting them regularly with no prior notice
妈妈，谢谢你用你的行动告诉我
Mum, thank you for showing me
一个个体户的工作日常
that how you work as a self-employed person
早晨五点起床给家人准备早餐、晚上7点关门
by getting up at 5am and closing your shop at 7pm
除了春节回老家团聚七八天 每天风雨无阻
almost everyday except spring festival for 7-8 days
还有一次是我高中时的生日
and also once for my birthday in high school
你和爸爸开车三个多小时来给我过生日
driving over 3 hours to have dinner with me
然后第二天一大早天还没亮再往回赶
driving back the next day before sunrise
阿姨，谢谢你拥抱我的青春期
Auntie, thank you for embracing my teenagehood
让我在你家有一个住了四年的 自己的房间
giving me a room for 4 years at your home
当我做梦梦到在家里的时候
When I have dreams about my home
这个房间的出现总是会让我安心
this room is always my safe place
从你这里得到的爱和我们的人生谈话
the extra love and mentor talk you gave me
给我力量在更广阔的世界中去逐梦
empower me to chase my dream in a wider world
我们生活在不同的时代
We live in different eras
但我知道我会想和你们交朋友
but I know I want to make friends
如果我们是中小学的同学或大学同学
if we were school mates or uni mates
在这一生中我们没有选择就成为了彼此的家人
In this life we have no choice but to be families
但我想要让你们知道即使没有血缘的关系我也想选择
but I would like you two to know that I would also choose
成为你们的朋友 这是我自由意志的选择 不是因为血缘的羁绊
to be your friends with my free will in spite of the blood connection
因为我可以从你们身上看到人性闪耀的光辉
As I can see the glowing humanity in you two
你们都诚实、真诚、忠厚善良
You are both honest, geniue, loyal and kind
我的妈妈有颗温暖的心 包容接纳
my mum has the warm heart to tolerate and accept
我的阿姨有沉静的思维 谨慎理智
my auntie stays calm to be cautious and reasonable
You are both diligent, and hard working
你们都勤奋、认真工作
我的妈妈可以记住所有顾客的长相和家庭信息
My mum remembers all customers' faces and family info
会为了做成一笔生意打电话调货而不会说没有
always try to coordinate the business by making phone calls
我的阿姨从来都没有和我抱怨过工作有多辛苦
my auntie never complain the difficulty of her work with me
今天也在和我说工作是工作不要把工作带回家
even today she still tells me to leave work at work
我的妈妈很难把工作和生活分开
My mum cannot separte her work and life
因为她的工作就是守着她的店铺
because her work is to stay at her shop
她每天都在工作也都在生活
she is always working and living
我的阿姨可以把工作和生活分开
My auntie can separate work and life
因为她有办公时间和工作日
becuase she has office hours and workdays
我还不知道未来我会怎么样
I still have no idea of my future
但从她们身上我看到了
but from their stories I can see
女性经济独立之路
the pathway of economic independence
不止是一种方式
women have more than one way
选择适合自己的方式
choose the way fits you
认真工作、认真生活
take your work and life seriously
想了很久还是用意识流的诗
I choose the stream of consciousness
因为这是我最舒服的写作形式
as it is my most comfortable writing style
把日常的情感写得浪漫如艺术
get the daily feelings as some romantic art
