<p class="ql-block">在我生日的當天，午夜12點的鐘聲剛剛響起，我收到了一封特殊的生日禮物——女兒竟然以一個14歲翩翩少年的口吻，給她臆想中四十年前的同樣14歲的我，用英文寫了這封至純至真的情書平和、柔軟、細膩、含蓄。</p><p class="ql-block"> 我想對女兒說，謝謝你的情書，讓幾十年匆匆趕路而錯過的風景，再次一幕幕浮現(xiàn)在我的眼前，同時更讓我透過你嘻哈的外表讀懂了你細膩獨特的內(nèi)心和有趣富足的靈魂……。</p><p class="ql-block"> 于是我精心地把女兒寫給我的情書翻譯成中文，以文字記錄母女之間的情感唱和。</p><p class="ql-block">媽媽-Becca</p><p class="ql-block">（以下為女兒撰寫的英文原版，因為美篇這個奇怪的編輯系統(tǒng)，會把每一個英文字母當做一個字符，所以女兒洋洋灑灑的文字只能以圖片方式上傳）</p> <p class="ql-block">Context: </p><p class="ql-block">MUMMY’S BIRTHDAY!

She’d claimed to have received bundles of love letters from these boys, but rejected all of them.This is my tribute to say that I write better love letters than all of them combined (HAHAHA), but also to say that I love mother more than all of them combined. Happy Birthday, mArmAr, don’t reject my love like you did the rest of them. </p><p class="ql-block">Yours Truly, </p><p class="ql-block">Yueqian</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Prologue:</p><p class="ql-block">Becca——</p><p class="ql-block">sun to my sky, </p><p class="ql-block">My breath, my branch.</p><p class="ql-block">And moisture to my eyes. </p><p class="ql-block">I said your name with the whitest teeth, </p><p class="ql-block">annunciating keenly</p><p class="ql-block">To the sound of rhythmic bees. </p><p class="ql-block"> </p><p class="ql-block">You are beckoning at school, </p><p class="ql-block">Betty in the winter, </p><p class="ql-block">On cobblestone resting at five foot two. </p><p class="ql-block">To go as far back as 1983</p><p class="ql-block">with flared slacks, </p><p class="ql-block">cloth-bound flats,</p><p class="ql-block">and spectacles rounded at the edges.</p><p class="ql-block">You are just another daughter. </p><p class="ql-block">But I spy with my little eye, </p><p class="ql-block">Always elusive;</p><p class="ql-block">Becca</p>
