It was a chilly Friday night, and I had just returned from climbing one of the red

rocks of Sedona. My father telephoned me as I walked through the arches to my

dorm room and told me that my mother had been in a terrible car crash and had

been taken to the intensive care unit (重症监护病房) of a nearby hospital.

那是一个寒冷的星期五晚上，我刚从塞多纳的一块红色岩石上爬回来。当我穿过拱门来到宿舍时，父亲打 给我，告诉我母亲遭遇了一场可怕的车祸，被送往重症监护室(重症监护病房)附近一家医院。

When I got to the hospital, my father led me down a wide hallway with

machines all around. A strong smell of medicine brought a sick feeling to my

already turning stomach. As I turned into my mother’s ward, the cadaverous (形容枯槁的) condition of her body shocked me. Her face had swollen, her eyes

had huge dark bruise, and she had tubes down her throat and in her arms. Gently

holding her cold swollen hands, I said “hi” in a calm voice, controlling my urge

to cry out.

当我到达医院时，父亲领我穿过一条宽阔的走廊，走廊里到处都是机器。一股浓烈的药味使我已经反胃的胃感到恶心。当我转入母亲的病房时，尸体(形容枯槁的)她的身体状况令我震惊。她的脸肿了，眼睛有巨大的黑色淤青，喉咙和手臂上都插着管子。我轻轻地握住她冰冷肿胀的双手，用平静的声音说“嗨”，控制住了我想哭出来的冲动。

She kept looking at me as she pounded her hand against the bed, looking painful.

I turned my face away from her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down

my face. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my mother.

她一直看着我，用手捶着床，看起来很痛苦。我把脸从她身上移开，试图掩饰我脸上滚落的泪水。就在那时，我突然想到我真的可能会失去我的母亲。

From that night on, my life pletely changed. Up to that point, I’d had the luxury

of just being a kid, having to deal with only the exaggerated melodramas of

teenage life. As my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to relearn to

walk, my sense of priorities changed sharply. My mother needed me. The trials

and trouble of my daily life at school, which had seemed so important before,

now appeared insignificant. My mother and I had faced death together, and life

took on a new meaning for both of us.

从那天晚上开始，我的生活彻底改变了。在那之前，我只是一个孩子，只需要处理青少年生活中夸张的情节剧。当我母亲先是挣扎着活下去，然后又重新学会走路时，我的优先顺序发生了急剧变化。我母亲需要我。我在学校的日常生活中的磨难和麻烦，以前看起来如此重要，现在却显得微不足道。我和母亲一起面对死亡，生活对我们俩来说都有了新的意义。

After a week of treatment in intensive care, my mother’s condition improved

enough to be moved to a regular hospital ward. She was finally out of danger

but, because her legs had been crushed, there was doubt whether she would be

able to walk again. I was just grateful that she was alive. Two months later, a

sort of hospital suite was set up in our family room, and she was allowed to e

home.

在重症监护室接受了一周的治疗后，我母亲的病情有所好转，被转移到了普通医院病房。她终于脱离了危险，但由于她的腿被压碎了，人们怀疑她是否还能走路。我很感激她还活着。两个月后，在我们的家庭房间里建立了一个类似医院的套房，她被允许回家。

参考答案

My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some

unaccustomed responsibilities for me. I would feed her, bathe her and help her

to the bathroom. It struck me that I was pretty much playing the role of mother

to my own mother. The difficult part for me was trying to be always upbeat, and

to keep my mother’s spirits up when she became frustrated with the pain and

her inability to do simple things by herself. Looking after my mother wasn’t

much fun, but it felt good to be there when my mother really needed me.

My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. In the past, we had more

than our share of the strains of motherdaughter relationships. The accident

threw us into a relationship of interdependence. To get my mother back, I had to

help regain her strength and ability to resume an independent life. She had to

accept my help as well as the fact that I was no longer a child. Since then, we

have bee the closest friends, genuinely listening to one another and truly

enjoying each other’s pany.

My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some

unaccustomed responsibilities for me. Though my mother was out of danger,

she was still unable to do anything by herself. It dawned on me that I must take

on the responsibilities of looking after my mother and coping with what my

mother used to take up. I almost devoted all my time to attending to her. I

cooked dishes, washed clothes, prepared medicine and so on. I was often burnt

out and exhausted, but I felt sweet deep in my heart since my mother’s

condition was improving day by day. 86W

My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. In the past, I was a

naughty kid who always bothered my mum and dad. I lived under my mother’s

protection. What’s more, I was ignorant of responsibility. But now, because of

the accident, I had changed totally. My mother witnessed my maturity and my

growth. She gradually found the fact that I was no longer a kid. She always

greeted me with grateful and satisfied smiles which made warmth surging

within me. Since then, we have truly enjoyed each other’s pany due to the love

between a mother and a kid. 92W

下水文2：

My mother's return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed

responsibilities for me. Previously, it was she that prepared three square meals for me,

tucked me into my quilt and helped with my schoolwork. Now, it seemed our role as

mother and daughter was totally reversed. It was I that brought meals to her bedside,

fed her and cleaned up afterwards. Also, I showered her, supported to and from the

toilet and washed her dirtied clothes. Just within a few months, I was transformed

from my mother’s wellfed and even spoiled sweetheart to her consistent and reliable

guardian.

My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. Previously, she was a strong

bedrock who was always there for me when I needed fort, rest and care. Sometimes,

when I was stressed out in my academic life, I would vent out my anger on her, which

invariably stirred up fierce quarrels between us. Now, however, I became my mother’s strongest supporter, both physically, emotionally and psychologically. The

occurrence of our quarrels was reduced enormously and our relationship improved

steadily. True, this devastating car crash robbed my mother of her health, but it also

shaped me into a more mature and independent individual, upon whom my mother

can always rely.
