One day when I had lost my place in the class, I came home discouraged and fretful.

一天，因?yàn)榭荚嚥焕硐?，我沮喪和煩躁地回到家里?/p>

I went to my mother's chamber.

我走進(jìn)母親的房間。

She was paler than usual, but she met me with the same affectionate smile that always welcomed my return.

她比以前更顯蒼白，可是她一如往常帶著親切的微笑歡迎我回來。

Alas! when I look back through the lapse of thirteen years, I think my heart must have been stone not to have been melted by it.

唉！十三年后回憶起來，我想當(dāng)時(shí)我的心可能是石頭做的才沒被融化。

She requested me to go downstairs and bring her a glass of water.

她叫我下樓取一杯水。

I pettishly asked her why she did not call a domestic to do it.

我怒氣沖沖地說怎么不叫傭人去。

With a look of mild reproach, which I shall never forget if I live to be a hundred years old,

她略帶責(zé)備地說，這種責(zé)備即使活一百歲我也不會(huì)忘記，

she said, "Will not my daughter bring a glass of water for her poor, sick mother?"

我的女兒不愿意給她生病的可憐母親取杯水嗎？

I went and brought her the water, but I did not do it kindly.

我心不甘情不愿地取來了水。

Instead of smiling, and kissing her as I had been wont to do, I set the glass down very quickly, and left the room.

我沒有對(duì)她笑，也沒有像往常一樣親吻她，我放下杯子就離開了房間。

After playing a short time, I went to bed without bidding my mother good night;

在玩了一陣后，我上床了，沒有和母親說晚安；

but when alone in my room, in darkness and silence, I remembered how pale she looked, and how her voice trembled when she said,

可是當(dāng)我獨(dú)自一人在安靜漆黑的房間里，我想起她臉色多么蒼白，她的聲音是多么顫抖，我無法入睡。

"Will not my daughter bring a glass of water for her poor, sick mother?" I could not sleep.

她說“我的女兒不愿意給她生病的可憐母親取杯水嗎？”

I stole into her chamber to ask forgiveness.

我偷偷走進(jìn)她的房間請(qǐng)求她原諒我。

She had sunk into an easy slumber, and they told me I must not waken her.

可她已經(jīng)睡著了，人們告訴我不能驚醒她。
