我之所有,我之所能,都归功于我天使般的母亲。

As a modern parent,I know that it's not how much you give children that counts; it's the love and attention you shower on them.A caring attitude can not only save you a small fortune,but also even make you feel good about being tight-fisted and offering more care than presents.

作为一个现代的父母,我很清楚重要的不是你给了孩子们多少物质的东西,而是你倾注在他们身上的关心和爱。关心的态度不仅能帮你省下一笔可观的钱,而且甚至能使你感到一份欣慰,因为你花钱不多并且给予了胜过礼物的关怀。

Be it ever so humble,there is no place like home.

金窝,银窝,不如自家的草窝。

Every soil where he is well is to a valiant man his natural country.

勇敢的人随遇而安,所到之处都是故乡。

Happy are the families where the government of parents is the reign of affection,and obedience of the children the submission to love.

幸福的家庭,父母靠慈爱当家,孩子也是出于对父母的爱而顺从大人。

He is the happiest,be he king or peasant,who finds peace in his home.无论是国王还是农夫,家庭和睦是最幸福的。

Husbands and wives in the process of divorce (and those in the throes of another argument) easily fall into the trap of denigrating the other,publicly if possible,and as often as possible.

正在闹离婚的(包括那些处于吵闹不停的痛楚中的)夫妻们很容易陷在对方的泥沼中不能自拔,这种诋毁是尽可能公开地,尽量频繁地进行。

It was the policy of the good old gentlemen to make his children feel that home was the happiest place in the world; and I value this delicious home-feeling as one of the choicest gifts a parent can bestow.

让孩子感到家庭是世界上最幸福的地方,这是以往有涵养的大人明智的做法。这种美妙的家庭情感,在我看来,和大人赠给孩子们的那些最精致的礼物一样珍贵。

My father had always said that there are four things a child needs-plenty of love,nourishing food,regular sleep,and lots of soap and water-and after those,what he needs most is some intelligent neglect.

我父亲总是说,一个孩子需要四样东西--充分的爱、富于营养的食物、有规律的睡眠、大量的肥皂和水--这些完了呢,他最需要的是一些明智的放任。
