《生日快樂》
——寫給今天滿七歲的女兒
大人們常說
三歲看大
老人們也說
七歲看老
我有點大，是大人了
也有點老了，但還不算老人
看著你，我的小寶
還是無法想像你的大和你的老
你常常問
媽咪你愛我嗎？
我說愛呀！
你還覺得不夠
要和我比高下
“媽咪我愛你比你愛我多一點點兒”
“你是我的最愛，我也是你的最愛嗎？”
Happy Birthday
——To my daughter who turns seven years old today
As an old Chinese saying goes---
One can be seen how her adulthood could be when she is still 3 years old,
How her old age could be when she is still 7 years old
I'm an adult and I'm a bit old
But not a old woman yet
Looking at you, my baby
I still can't imagine your adulthood and what your old age would be like
You often ask
Mommy, do you love me?
I said I do love you
You don't think it's enough.
To challenge me, you say
"Mommy, I love you a little more than you love me"
"You are my favorite, and am I also your favorite?"
我蜜得嘴上就說謝謝你——
寶貝，行了，行了
心上說拿出行動聽話呀！
你立刻給我一個大大的擁抱和一個甜甜的親吻
真的很開心，真的也很高興
有你這麼一個小粉絲
你大啦！
你漸漸地長大了
我的夢，你的夢想
我們的世界
無論如何
無論你幾歲
無論何時何地
請保有那粉紅色，金光燦爛的夢想
保有一顆色彩繽紛，真誠的愛心
還有我們鍾愛的綠色，如春雨般清新溫暖的希望
親愛的寶貝
要樂觀 要獨立 要堅強
My heart melts with your loveliness and I say “thank you” —
Baby, all right, all right
I also say action speaks louder than words.
Will you listen and obey me?
You immediately give me a big hug and a sweet kiss.
Happy and thrilled that
I have a little fan like you
You are getting bigger
You grow bigger each day
My dream, your dream, and our world
No mater what
No matter how old you are
No matter when and where you are
Please keep that pink and golden dream
Keep a colorful, sincere loving heart
Fresh and warm, like spring rain, the color of green, it’s the hope that we are deeply in love with
Baby, sweetheart, my darling
Be optimistic, be independent, and be strong
生日快樂！
