　　你也许一直都知道，妈妈很爱你。可你却不记得，你小的时候她怎样爱你。因为关于你小时候那些满含母爱的小小细节，妈妈从未告诉过你。

　　You made her cry a lot. She cried when she found out she was pregnant. She cried as she gave birth to you. She cried when she first held you. She cried with happiness. She cried with fear. She cried with worry. She cried because she feels so deeply for you. She felt your pain and your happiness and she shared it with you， whether you realized it or not.

　　你没少让她哭过。发现怀孕的时候，她哭了。把你生出来的时候，她哭了。第一次把你抱在怀里的时候，她哭了。她因为幸福而哭泣。她因为担惊受怕而哭泣。她因为提心吊胆而哭泣。她因为对你怀有深厚的感情而哭泣。她體会着你的痛苦和快乐，并对此感同身受，无论你是否能意识到这一点。

　　She wanted that last piece of pie. But when she saw you look at it with those big eyes and lick your mouth with that tiny tongue，she couldnt eat it. She knew it would make her much happier to see your little tummy be filled than hers.

　　她想吃最后那块馅饼。但是看到你用那双大眼睛望着馅饼、小舌头还舔着嘴唇的样子，她就不忍心吃了。她很清楚，看到你小肚子饱饱的样子比她自己吃饱更让她开心。

　　She knows shes not perfect. She is her own worst critic. She is hardest on herself when it comes to you，though. She wanted to be the perfect mom，to do nothing wrong—but because she is human，she made mistakes.She wishes with her whole heart that she could go back in time and do things differently，but she cant，so be kind to her， and know she did the best she knew how to do.

　　她知道自己并不完美。她对自己极度严苛。不过，当涉及到你的时候，她对自己最为严苛。过去的她想做个完美的妈妈，想从不犯错——可她是常人，也曾犯错。她全心全意地希望可以回到过去换种做法，但是她无能为力。所以对她宽容一些，要知道她那时已经在自己的能力范围内做到最好了。

　　It broke her heart every time you cried. There was no sound as sad as your cries， or sight as horrible as the tears streaming down your perfect face. She did all in her power to stop you from crying， and when she couldnt stop your tears，her heart would shatter into a million little pieces.

　　你每次哭泣都令她心碎。世界上没有任何声音会比你的哭声更令她难过，也没有任何景象比你无瑕小脸上滑过泪水更令她害怕。她竭尽所能地哄你停止哭泣，当她无法帮你止住眼泪的时候，她的心会碎成千百万片。
