英語溫馨夜讀I PART3 06 Love Is Just A Thread 愛只是一根線

[00:00.65]Love Is Just A Thread 愛只是一根線 [00:07.11]Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. [00:13.12]They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. [00:19.35]In their opinion,“I love you”is too luxurious for them to say. [00:24.82]Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day [00:28.93]is even more out of the question. [00:31.61]One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. [00:35.39]I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. [00:39.05]“Mom, I have a question to ask you,”I said after a while. [00:44.43]“What?”she replied, still doing her work. [00:47.93]“Is there love between you and Dad?”I asked her in a very low voice. [00:53.93]My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. [00:59.07]She didn’t answer immediately. [01:01.71]Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt. [01:05.42]I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do. [01:10.23]But at last I heard my mother say the following words: [01:14.72]“Susan,”she said thoughtfully,“Look at this thread. [01:20.30]Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. [01:25.98]The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. [01:30.14]If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. [01:34.42]It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, [01:38.52]but it’s really there. Love is inside.” [01:42.18]I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. [01:48.09]At that time, my father suddenly got seriously ill. [01:53.67]After they got back from the hospital, every day in the morning and dusk, [01:59.76]my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. [02:03.59]It seemed they were the most harmonious couple. [02:08.29]Along the country road, [02:10.68]there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. [02:14.74]The sun gently glistened through the leaves. [02:17.81]All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world. [02:22.30]After two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. [02:27.18]All of us were worried about him. [02:29.74]“Dad, how are you feeling now?”I asked him one day. [02:35.20]“Susan, don’t worry about me.”he said gently. [02:41.02]“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. [02:45.64]I like this kind of life.” [02:47.82]Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply. [02:52.42]Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. [02:58.11]But from this experience, [03:00.13]I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. [03:04.67]Love is inside, making life strong and warm...
