The First Mother Created By God 上帝創(chuàng)造的第一位母親

By the time the Lord made the first mother,he was into the sixth day working overtime.An Angel appeared and said,“Why are you spending so much time on this one!”

And the Lord answered and siad,“Have you read the spec sheet on her!She has to be completely washable,but not elastic have 200 movable parts,all replaceable run on black coffee and leftovers have a lap that can hold three children at one time and that disappears when she stands up have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart and have six pairs of hands.”

The Angel was astounded at the requirements for this one.“Six pairs of hands No way”said the Angel.

The Lord replied,“Oh,it's not the hands that are the problem.It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers must have”

“And that's on the standard model!”the Angel asked.

The Lord nodded in agreement,“Yep,one pair of eyes are to see through the closed door as the asks her children what they are doing even though she already knows.Another pair in the back of her head are to see what she needs to know even though no one thinks she can.And the third pair are here in the front of her head.They are for looking at an errant child and saying that she understands and loves him or her without even saying a single word.”

The Angel tried to stop the Lord.“This is too much work for one day.Wait until tomorrow to finish.”

“But I can't”the Lord protested,“I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.She always heals herself when she is sick and can feed a family of six on a pound of hamburger and can get a nine-year-old boy to stand in the shower.”

The Angel moved closer and touched the woman,“But you have made her so soft, Lord.”

“She is soft,”the Lord agreed,“but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.”

“Will she be able to think!”asked the Angel.

The Lord replied,“Not only will she be able to think,she will be able to reason,and negotiate.”

The Angel then moticed something and reached out and touched the woman's cheek.“Oops,it looks like there's a leak in her face.You were trying to put too much into this one.”

“That's not a leak,”the Lord objected.“That's a tear”

“What's the tear for!”the Angel asked.

The Lord said,“The tear is her way of expressing her joy,her sorrow,her disappointment,her pain,her loneliness,her grief,and her pride.”

The Angel was impressed.“You are a genius,Lord.You thought of everything for this one.You even created the tear”

The Lord looked at the Angel and smiled and said,“I'm afraid you are wrong again. I created the woman, but she created the tear”.

　　等到上帝創(chuàng)造第一位母親時(shí)，他已經(jīng)超時(shí)工作進(jìn)入第六天。一位天使出現(xiàn)了，問(wèn)道：“您為什么花這么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間造這個(gè)人?”

　　上帝回答說(shuō)：“你讀沒(méi)讀說(shuō)明書(shū)?她必須是可洗的，但不是橡膠的;她有200個(gè)可活動(dòng)的零件，全部可以更換;她靠清咖啡和剩飯剩菜運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn);她的腿上可以同時(shí)坐上3個(gè)孩子，而她站起身時(shí)，這腿又恢復(fù)正常長(zhǎng)度;她的吻能治愈一切，從擦傷的膝蓋到破碎的心;她還有6雙手。”

　　天使聽(tīng)了大吃一驚。“6雙手!不可能!”他說(shuō)。

　　上帝回答：“哦，手并不是難題。母親必須有3雙眼睛，這才是最難做的!”

　　“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)模型上是這樣的嗎?”天使問(wèn)。

　　上帝點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭，“是的。一雙眼睛能看穿緊閉的房門(mén)，盡管她已經(jīng)知道，但她還是要問(wèn)孩子們?cè)谧鍪裁?。另一雙眼睛長(zhǎng)在后腦勺兒上面，能看到她需要的動(dòng)靜，盡管沒(méi)有人認(rèn)為她能看得見(jiàn)。還有一雙眼睛在這里，在頭部前邊兒，它們是用來(lái)關(guān)注一個(gè)誤入歧途的孩子，盡管她默默無(wú)語(yǔ)，但那眼神表明她對(duì)這個(gè)孩子充滿了理解，充滿了愛(ài)。

　　天使試圖讓上帝停下手中的活。“一天怎么能干這么多活兒?等明天再完成吧。”

　　“不行!我不能停!”上帝抗議道，“我這就要完成這件作品了，它是那么貼近我的心。她生病的時(shí)候總能不藥而愈，而且，她能用一磅漢堡包喂飽一家6口人，還能讓一個(gè)9歲男孩子乖乖地站在蓮蓬頭下淋浴。

　　天使靠近些，撫摸那女人，“但是，上帝，您把她做得如此柔軟。”

　　“她是柔軟，”上帝表示同意，“但是我也讓她堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。你想像不出來(lái)她能夠忍受多少，能夠成就多少。”

　　“她能思考嗎?”天使問(wèn)。

　　上帝回答：“她不僅能思考，還能夠推理，能夠與人協(xié)商。”

　　這時(shí)天使注意到什么，伸出手觸摸女人的面頰。“哎呀，她臉上好像有一個(gè)漏洞。您試圖在這件作品中注入太多的東西。”

　　“那不是什么漏洞，”上帝指出，“那是一滴眼淚!”

　　“眼淚有什么作用!”天使問(wèn)。

　　上帝說(shuō)：“眼淚是她用來(lái)表達(dá)喜悅、悲哀、失望、孤獨(dú)、憂傷和驕傲的。”

　　天使被深深感動(dòng)了。“上帝，您真了不起。您為這作品想到了一切。您甚至造出了眼淚!”

　　上帝看著天使，露出微笑，說(shuō)：“恐怕你又錯(cuò)了。我造了女人，但眼淚卻是她自己創(chuàng)造的!”
