英语翻译
For years I wanted a flower garden,but with five children I was too busy to have one.Money was limited,and so was time.Often one of the children would want something that cost too much,and I would say,"Do you see a money tree outside?Money doesn’t grow on trees,you know."Finally,when all five had gotten through high school and college,and had started having their own families,I started thinking again about having a garden.However,I knew gardens cost money.
Then,one spring morning on Mother’s Day,as I was working in my kitchen,I heard cars drive by and looked out of the window to see a new tree planted in my yard.I couldn’t believe my eyes:it was a money tree!Dollar bills were stuck all over that tree,and there was a note which read:"I owe you eight hours of digging time.Love,Marvin."
Marvin,my first son,kept his promise.He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen-foot bed1 for me.My other children bought me tools,a sunflower stepping stone2 and gardening books.We built a garden together.
That was three years ago.My garden is now very pretty,and just what I’d always wanted.When I go out to weed or tend my flowers,I don’t seem to miss my children as much as I once did.It feels as if they were right there with me.When I think about what my children have done for me,I get tears in my eyes every time.
I’m still not sure whether money grows on trees.But I know love does!
精准,确切.
多年以来,我一直想拥有一个花园,但由于带着五个孩子,生活太忙了而一直没有能实现.经纪有限,时间也有限.偶尔某个孩子想要点比较昂贵的东西,我就会对他们说:你看到门外的摇钱树了吗 你知道的,钱还没有长出来呢.最终的,当所有的孩子都进了高中和大学,并有了他们自己的家庭,我又一次开始想起我花园的事情.然而,我知道(拥有)一个花园,需要很多钱.
后来,在一个母亲节的清晨,我正在厨房忙碌着的时候,听到了汽车驶过的声音,透过窗户我看到了一棵新的树种在我的院子里.我几乎难以相信我的眼睛:它是一棵摇钱树.很多很多钞票挂满了树.同时上面还有一张卡片,写道:我欠你8个小时的种植时间.爱你的Marvin.
Marvin,我的长子,遵守了他的诺言.他挖了一个10*15英尺大的坑,我其他的孩子为我买了工具,买了向日葵垫脚石,买了园艺方面的书籍.我们一起建成了一个花园.
那是三年以前的事情了.我的花园现在很漂亮,正是我想要的那种.当我去除杂草和照料我的这些花儿的时候,我都会想起我的孩子,和曾经为他们所付出的.那种感觉好像他们就和我在一起.每次当我想起我孩子们为我做的一起,都情不自禁的流泪.
我不知道摇钱树会不会生长出钱来,但我知道,爱,可以.
