雙語美文：女人的眼淚

A Woman's Tears 女人的眼淚

“ Why are you crying?” he asked his Mom.

“ Because I'm a woman.” she told him.

“ I don't understand,” he said.

His Mom just hugged him and said,

“ And you never will” ...

Later the little boy asked his father,

“ Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”

“ All women cry for no reason”

was all his Dad could say...

The little boy grew up and became a man,

still wondering why women cry...

Finally he put in a call to God;

when God got on the phone, the man said,

“ God, why do women cry so easily?”

God said... “ When I made woman

she had to be special. I made her shoulders

strong enough to carry the weight of the world;

yet gentle enough to give comfort...

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth

and the rejection that many times comes

from her children...

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going

when everyone else gives up

and take care of her family

through fatigue and sickness

without complaining...

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children

under any and all circumstances,

even when her child has hurt them very badly....

I gave her strength to carry her husband

through his faults

and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that

a good husband never hurts his wife,

but sometimes tests her strengths

and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

I gave her a tear to shed,

It's hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.

It's her only weakness...

It's a tear for mankind...”

“你為什么哭呀?”他問他的媽媽。

“因?yàn)槲沂莻€(gè)女人”她告訴他。

“我不明白，”他說。

他的媽媽只是摟緊了他說，“你永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)”……

后來這個(gè)小孩問他的父親，“為什么母親無緣無故地哭?”“所有女人都會(huì)無緣無故地哭”他的父親只能這樣說……

小男孩長成了大男人，依然沒有弄明白女人為什么哭……

最后他給上帝撥了個(gè)電話。

當(dāng)上帝接到電話時(shí)，這位長大成人的男子問，“上帝，為什么女人那么容易哭?”上帝說……“當(dāng)我創(chuàng)造女人時(shí)她必須是特殊的。我讓她的肩膀堅(jiān)強(qiáng)得足以承擔(dān)這個(gè)世界的重量;但又足夠溫柔地給人慰藉……

我給她內(nèi)在的力量以承受分娩的劇痛，去忍受孩子們一次又一次的厭棄……

我給她堅(jiān)韌使她在人人都放棄時(shí)能獨(dú)自堅(jiān)持下去不顧自身的疲憊和病痛毫無怨言地照料家人……

我給她敏感的心，去毫無條件毫無保留地愛她的兒女，即使他們深深傷害過她……

我給她力量讓她幫助丈夫克服他的過失，我用他的一根肋骨造出了她來保護(hù)他的心。

我給她智慧讓她明白，好丈夫永不傷害妻子，但有時(shí)會(huì)考驗(yàn)她的力量考驗(yàn)她堅(jiān)決站在他身旁的決心。

我給她眼淚，這眼淚只屬于她，需要時(shí)便會(huì)流下，這是她惟一的弱點(diǎn)……

這是為人類而流下的淚水……”
