Question

【题目】Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay for my brother’s education and mine. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them, "I love you" is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.

One day, my mother was repairing a quilt(被子). I silently sat beside her and looked at her. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said. "Yes." she replied, still doing her work.

"Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer at once. Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.

I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed(尴尬的) that I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:

“Look at this thread(线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen everywhere, but it's really there.”

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from the experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

【解析】

本文作者主要讲述他的父母之间的爱情。有时作者怀疑父母之间是否有爱。他们每天都忙于挣钱，以支付我弟弟的教育和学费。从不表达他们的爱。后来一天，他妈妈做被子。他问他的妈妈：“你和爸爸之间有爱吗？”他妈妈说： “看看这根线。有时会出现，但大多数时候，它藏在被子里。这条线确实使被子坚固耐用。如果生命是一床被子，那么爱应该是一根线。到处都看不见，但它确实存在。”这使作者明白了，爱只是我们生活中被子里的一根线。爱在里面，让生活变得坚强和温暖。
