她只是微微笑著    

母親是一位您必需無限感恩的人。
在懷您於腹中之時，她便開始受苦，無法舒適地工作進食，也無法像往常一樣輕易地站立或坐下。然而，她時時刻刻都呵護著您。自您誕生的那一刻起，您除了還能呼吸之外，更無他者足以把您稱之為一個生物體。您甚至連擡頭的能力都沒有，然而，您的母親卻把一個尚不知母親為何物的小東西置於膝上、清洗您、潔淨您、百般呵護地將您拉拔大。

爾後，她又必須對您的不當行為勞心勞力，她唯一希望做到的，就是無論如何也必須讓您活下去。當他注視著您時，從不投以埋怨的眼光，而只會以愛護的眼神望著您。她竭盡所能讓您得到快樂。即便她有能力使您成為整個世界的領導人，她猶然覺得所予之仍是不足。

事實上，您之所以存在，應該歸功於您的母親。若非母親賦予您生命，您將不可能得到您所擁有的一切。

因此，您必需對母親絕對的感恩。

Mother is someone to whom you should have endless gratitude. She suffered while she carried you in her womb; she was unable to work or eat comfortably, unable even to stand up and sit down without difficulty. Yet all the time she loved and cared for you. When you were born from the womb, were it not for the fact that you were actually breathing, you could scarcely have been called a living thing at all. You were not even strong enough to raise your head. Nevertheless your mother took you, this little thing which did not even know her, upon her lap to wash, clean and bring up lovingly. Later she put up with loss and disgrace on account of your misbehaviour, her only preoccupation being how to keep you alive. When she looks at you, she does not frown, but looks at you with loving eyes. Calling you her dear child, she has brought you up, protecting you from heat and cold and all the rest. In every way she has tried to bring about your happiness. Even if she could give you the kingdom of a universal ruler, she would still not be satisfied and would never think that she had given you enough. 

In fact, it is thanks to your mother that your precious human life exists at all. If she had not been there, who knows whether you would have attained it? Therefore you should be very grateful to her.
