| 标题 | 《英语散文》母亲的心情记录 |
| 范文 | Bryan had become an extraordinary young man.He was an Eagle Scout at the age of 13, Arkansas's youngest ever. (The Boy Scouts are a character-building organization, and few boys rise to the top level; to become an Eagle Scout is like receiving a grand testimonial to one's virtue and versatility.) He had been a football star in high school. After attending Brigham Young University for one year, he had served a two-year stint as a representative of his church in South Korea. Now he was preparing to return to university. I told his mother that I believed we had made the right decision 22 years earlier; the next day she called to say how much the comment meant to her. As it happened, Linda's eldest daughter would also be a sophomore at BYU that fall, and her next eldest daughter would be at the branch campus in Idaho. I told him that his half-siblings were unaware of his existence; Linda subsequently decided to tell her children about Bryan. They were surprised and curious to find out what their new brother was like. The two girls were quick to set up a rendezvous with their tall, fair-haired, blue-eyed half-brother on the BYU campus in Utah, but birth mother and son have yet to meet. 母亲的心情记录：女儿未婚怀孕以后 那天，我刚刚从税务局办完了个人所得税的审计，那地方谁都认为就像是在牙科医生的椅子上那么难熬。审计进行得挺顺利，而我总算松了一口气。为了庆贺我便买了一支冰淇淋坐到车里，开始读大女儿琳达寄来的信，她当时是大一的学生。“亲爱的妈妈，”信是这样开头的，“我知道，当你获知自己要成为外祖母时一定会非常吃惊。”琳达20岁，还没有结婚。我的第一反应就是：“这不行！我自己是一个没有工作的离了婚的中年妇女，我再也不想多抚养孩子了！”家里还有一个6岁和12岁的孩子，我一人抚养孩子可是不容易，特别是只靠那点儿有限的收入。然而，在我仔细考虑了女儿当前的感受之后，我给她打了电话，建议她上完这学期的课之后回家，我们会想出解决问题的办法。 那个男孩是工程系大一的学生，他的父母也十分冷静，但他们的基本想法似乎是不管事情怎样，都要确保不能影响他们儿子的前途。结婚从未被他们认真考虑过，他们想让我女儿做流产。至少医疗费不是大问题；虽说我下岗了，但我的医疗保险还有效，只需交很少的保险费，这项保险也包括我女儿的医药费，总数约几千美元，但不包括婴儿所需的费用。 到了期末，女儿回来了。出于宗教上的原因，她很快就排除了做流产的选择。找人领养是个值得考虑的主意。但是想到我们州的福利机构办理的领养使孩子与生身母亲之间处于彻底隔绝的状态，我们又不太愿意这样做。福利机构会为孩子选择一个新的家庭，而孩子的命运对我们来说将一无所知。一天，琳达说道，她希望我们能在离家比较远的地方找一个领养孩子的家庭：这个家庭要受过良好的教育，已经有了一个孩子(这样婴儿就不会是家中孤独的独生子)，而且喜爱动物，与自己有同样的宗教信仰，经济上宽裕，有一个温馨的家庭，在这个家里母亲不外出工作。两天后，我的在阿肯色州当律师的哥哥打来电话，说他妻子认识的一个人的朋友，头年生下的女婴出人意料地夭折了，而悲伤的母亲不能再生孩子，这个家庭特别想领养一个孩子--他问我们是否有意和这家谈谈领养的事？我们收到了一封长信，信中详细介绍了这个家庭，他们的情况与我们所希望的领养家庭哪儿哪儿都合适。这可真是不可思议。琳达和我立刻就意识到这是我们寻求的解决办法。 |
