冰心在她的散文中说过“今生如果美好,我又何求来世,今生若不美好,我又何求来生。”大概,从我们被父母带到这世上的那一刻起,我们就对这个世界充满了眷恋和感恩。
史铁生在的散文《秋天的怀念》里,道尽了对母亲的感恩和怀念,以及那充斥于心间的悔恨之情。今天,我们一起欣赏史铁生的《秋天的怀念》。
双腿瘫痪后,我的脾气变得暴怒无常。

可我却一直都不知道,她的病已经到了那步田地。后来妹妹告诉我,她常常肝疼得整宿翻来覆去地睡不了觉。
Although I did not know it, she had been seriously ill herself all the time. It was my youngersister who told me later that mother had often been kept awake the whole night with pains inthe liver.
那天我又独自坐在屋里,看着窗外的树叶唰唰啦啦地飘落。母亲进来了,挡住窗前:“北海的菊花开了,我推着你去看看吧。”她憔悴的脸上现出央求般的神色。“好吧,就明天。”我说。她高兴得一会儿坐下,一会站起:“那就赶紧准备准备。”
One day I was alone in the room, watching the rustling fall of autumn leaves through thewindow when Mother came in. She stood between me and the window and said,“Thechrysanthemums in Beihai are blossoming. Do let me take you there for a visit.” Her sad eye
