翻阅妈妈旧时的照片，我觉得妈妈年轻时真是个标致的美女，而如今岁月却在她身上留下一道道痕迹。
Looking through my mother's old photos, I think she was a beautiful girl when she was young, but now years have left traces on her.
妈妈经常在爸爸不在场的时候，对我和妹妹说：“我可告诉你们啊，别看你妈妈我现在不太好看，我年轻时可是班花呢！不少人都追过我，最后啊，选了你爸，算你爸有福气喽！”每次妈妈给我和妹妹说类似这种话时，我和妹妹都捂住嘴偷偷笑。妹妹大概是不大相信她的话才笑的，我却是觉得妈妈太不低调了，也笑我没有遗传妈妈的优良基因。
My mother often said to my sister and me in my father's absence:" I can tell you, don't look at your mother, I'm not very good-looking now, I was a class flower when I was young! Many people have chased me. In the end, it's lucky to choose your father!" Every time my mother said something like this to my sister and me, my sister and I covered our mouths and secretly laughed. My sister probably didn't believe her words before she smiled, but I thought my mother was too low-key, and I laughed that I didn't have the good genes of my mother.
爸爸和妈妈第一次相遇是在东二路，妈妈常说爸爸是因为她的美貌对她一见钟情的，而爸爸则打趣地说：“当时是因为家里催婚，看你妈长得质朴，像勤快人，才娶的。”我又笑了，觉得爸爸不管是因为什么看上妈妈的，幸好是娶了妈妈，不然我妈妈当时那漂亮劲儿得耽误多少男人的幸福啊。
The first time mom and Dad met was on Donger road. Mom often said that Dad fell in love with her at first sight because of her beauty, while dad jokingly said," it was because of the family's urging to marry. Seeing your mom's simple appearance, like a diligent and quick person, she married." I smiled again, and thought that no matter what my father looked after my mother for, fortunately, he married her. Otherwise, my mother's beauty would delay the happiness of many men at that time.
妈妈确实质朴勤快，家里的地板总被妈妈收拾得可以照镜子了，阿姨们都说妈妈是没事找罪受呢，妈妈对此也只是笑笑，这是她多年的生活习惯，想改也改不过来的。
Mom is really simple and diligent. Her mother always cleans up the floor so that she can look in the mirror. Aunts all say that mom has nothing to do with looking for guilt. Mom just smiles at this. It's her life habit for many years, and she can't change it if she wants to.
可不知怎的，妈妈生下妹妹后，好多病都冒出来了，头痛、失眠、抑郁让妈妈没办法再折腾了，家里的地板也不能用来当镜子了。
But somehow, after her mother gave birth to her sister, many diseases came out. Headache, insomnia and depression made her unable to toss about any more, and the floor at home could not be used as a mirror.
奶奶因为妈妈，也没睡过几夜好觉。给妈妈找过民间偏方，说是治好了好多人，但到妈妈身上怎么都不管用，妈妈还很乐观忍受自己的痛苦，一面安慰我们，一面假装坚强。
Because of her mother, grandma didn't sleep a few nights. I have found folk prescription for my mother, saying that I have cured many people, but it doesn't work for my mother. My mother is still optimistic about suffering, comforting us and pretending to be strong.
我晚上睡觉时，时常看到妈妈在卧室里来回踱步，轻轻地，几乎没有声音，也不埋怨，就是来回走着，实在睡不着了，就喝一大杯红酒，帮助自己睡觉。
When I go to bed at night, I often see my mother pacing back and forth in the bedroom, softly, with almost no voice and no complaint. I just walk back and forth, but I can't sleep, so I drink a large glass of red wine to help myself sleep.
因为爸爸常年在外，妈妈一个人照顾我和妹妹，让妈妈更加辛苦。我还经常很不懂事的和妈妈发生一些小争执，妈妈也只是包容着我。
Because my father is away all year round, my mother takes care of my sister and me alone, which makes my mother work harder. I also often have a little dispute with my mother, who just tolerates me.
岁月啊，请不要伤害我的妈妈，因为我妈妈是个美人，是个勤快人，是个宽容的人，更因为，她是我的好妈妈。
Years ah, please don't hurt my mother, because my mother is a beauty, is a diligent, is a tolerant person, but also because, she is my good mother.
