I did not tell anyone what troubled me, but stole back to my bed, resolved to rise early in the morning and tell her how sorry I was for my conduct.
我没有告诉别人困扰我的是什么，悄悄地回到我的床上，我下定决心第二天早晨告诉她我是多么后悔。
The sun was shining brightly when I awoke, and, hurrying on my clothes, I hastened to my mother's chamber.
醒来时，太阳很刺眼，我急急忙忙换好衣服来到母亲的房间。
She was dead! She never spoke more—never smiled upon me again;
她已经去世了！不再对我说什么，也不再对我微笑了；
and when I touched the hand that used to rest upon my head in blessing, it was so cold that it made me start.
我触摸着她的手，她曾经把手放在我头上祝福我，现在是那么凉，使我吃了一惊。
I bowed down by her side, and sobbed in the bitterness of my heart.
我跪在她的床边，心中凄苦地啜泣。
I then wished that I might die, and be buried with her; and, old as I now am,
我多么希望我死了，和她埋在一起；现在不再年轻的我，
I would give worlds, were they mine to give, could my mother but have lived to tell me she forgave my childish ingratitude.
如果能让母亲活着告诉我她已经原谅我儿时不懂得感恩，我愿意用全世界来交换——如果全世界都是我的。
But I can not call her back; and when I stand by her grave, and whenever I think of her manifold kindness,
但是时间不会倒转；现在我站在母亲坟墓旁，想着慈祥的母亲，
the memory of that reproachful look she gave me will bite like a serpent and sting like an adder.
记忆中她责备我的神情就像毒蛇一样啮咬着我。
