1、我获奖后，很多人分享了我的光荣，但我的母亲却无法分享了。 mymotherwasbornin1922anddiedin1994.weburiedherinapeachorchardeastofthevillage.lastyearwewereforcedtomovehergravefartherawayfromthevillageinordertomakeroomforaproposedrailline.whenwedugupthegrave,wesawthatthecoffinhadrottedawayandthatherbodyhadmergedwiththedampeartharound

3、体。我们只好象征性地挖起一些泥土，移到新的墓穴里。也就是从那一时刻起，我感到，我的母亲是大地的一部分，我站在大地上的诉说，就是对母亲的诉说。 iwasmymothersyoungestchild.myearliestmemorywasoftakingouronlyvacuumbottletothepubliccanteenfordrinkingwater.weakenedbyhunger,idroppedthebottleandbrokeit.scaredwitless,ihidallthatdayinahaystack.towardevening,iheardmymothercallingm

7、守麦田的人来了，拣麦穗的人纷纷逃跑，我母亲是小脚，跑不快，被捉住，那个身材高大的看守人煽了她一个耳光，她摇晃着身体跌倒在地，看守人没收了我们拣到的麦穗，吹着口哨扬长而去。我母亲嘴角流血，坐在地上，脸上那种绝望的神情深我终生难忘。多年之后，当那个看守麦田的人成为一个白发苍苍的老人，在集市上与我相逢，我冲上去想找他报仇，母亲拉住了我，平静的对我说、“儿子，那个打我的人，与这个老人，并不是一个人。” myclearestmemoryisofamoonfestivalday,atnoontime,oneofthoserareoccasionswhenweatejiaoziathome,onebowla

11、碗红薯干打发他，他却愤愤不平地说、“我是一个老人，你们吃饺子，却让我吃红薯干。你们的心是怎么长的?”我气急败坏的说、“我们一年也吃不了几次饺子，一人一小碗，连半饱都吃不了!给你红薯干就不错了，你要就要，不要就滚!”母亲训斥了我，然后端起她那半碗饺子，倒进了老人碗里。我最后悔的一件事，就是跟着母亲去卖白菜，有意无意的多算了一位买白菜的老人一毛钱。算完钱我就去了学校。当我放学回家时，看到很少流泪的母亲泪流满面。母亲并没有骂我，只是轻轻的说、“儿子，你让娘丢了脸。 mothercontractedaseriouslungdiseasewheniwasstillinmyteens.hunger,dis

14、knewanyway.”son,”shesaid,”dontworry,theremaybenojoyinmylife,butiwontleaveyoutillthegodoftheunderworldcallsme.” 我十几岁时，母亲患了严重的肺病，饥饿，病痛，劳累，使我们这个家庭陷入了困境，看不到光明和希望。我产生了一种强烈的不祥之兆，以为母亲随时都会自己寻短见。每当我劳动归来，一进大门就高喊母亲，听到她的回应，心中才感到一块石头落了地。如果一时听不到她的回应，我就心惊胆战，跑到厨房和磨坊里寻找。有一次找遍了所有的房间也没有见到母亲的身影，我便坐在了院子里大哭。这时母亲背着一捆柴草从外面

15、走进来。她对我的哭很不满，但我又不能对她说出我的担忧。母亲看到我的心思，她说、“孩子你放心，尽管我活着没有一点乐趣，但只要阎王爷不叫我，我是不会去的。 iwasbornugly.villagersoftenlaughedinmyface,andschoolbulliessometimesbeatmeupbecauseofit.idrunhomecrying,wheremymotherwouldsay,”yourenotugly,son.youvegotanoseandtwoeyes,andtheresnothingwrongwithyourarmsandlegs,sohowcouldyoube

17、儿子，你不丑，你不缺鼻子不缺眼，四肢健全，丑在哪里?而且只要你心存善良，多做好事，即便是丑也能变美。”后来我进入城市，有一些很有文化的人依然在背后甚至当面嘲弄我的相貌，我想起了母亲的话，便心平气和地向他们道歉。 myilliteratemotherheldpeoplewhocouldreadinhighregard.weweresopoorweoftendidnotknowwhereournextmealwascomingfrom,yetsheneverdeniedmyrequesttobuyabookorsomethingtowritewith.bynaturehardworking,she

18、hadnouseforlazychildren,yeticouldskipmychoresaslongasihadmynoseinabook. 我母亲不识字，但对识字的人十分敬重。我们家生活困难，经常吃了上顿没下顿。但只要我对她提出买书买文具的要求，她总是会满足我。她是个勤劳的人，讨厌懒惰的孩子，但只要是我因为看书耽误了干活，她从来没批评过我。 astorytelleroncecametothemarketplace,andisneakedofftolistentohim.shewasunhappywithmeforforgettingmychores.butthatnight,whilesh

22、on?mightyouwindupprattlingforalivingoneday? 有一段时间，集市上来了一个说书人。我偷偷地跑去听书，忘记了她分配给我的活儿。为此，母亲批评了我，晚上当她就着一盏小油灯为家人赶制棉衣时，我忍不住把白天从说书人听来的故事复述给她听，起初她有些不耐烦，因为在她心目中说书人都是油嘴滑舌，不务正业的人，从他们嘴里冒不出好话来。但我复述的故事渐渐的吸引了她，以后每逢集日她便不再给我排活，默许我去集上听书。为了报答母亲的恩情，也为了向她炫耀我的记忆力，我会把白天听到的故事，绘声绘色地讲给她听。很快的，我就不满足复述说书人讲的故事了，我在复述的过程中不断的添油加醋，我会

23、投我母亲所好，编造一些情节，有时候甚至改变故事的结局。我的听众也不仅仅是我的母亲，连我的姐姐，我的婶婶，我的奶奶都成为我的听众。我母亲在听完我的故事后，有时会忧心忡忡地，像是对我说，又像是自言自语、“儿啊，你长大后会成为一个什么人呢?难道要靠耍贫嘴吃饭吗? iknewwhyshewasworried.talkativekidsarenotwellthoughtofinourvillage,fortheycanbringtroubletothemselvesandtotheirfamilies.thereisabitofayoungmeinthetalkativeboywhofallsafoul

25、在村子里，一个贫嘴的孩子，是招人厌烦的，有时候还会给自己和家庭带来麻烦。我在小说牛里所写的那个因为话多被村子里厌恶的孩子，就有我童年时的影子。我母亲经常提醒我少说话，她希望我能做一个沉默寡言、安稳大方的孩子。但在我身上，却显露出极强的说话能力和极大的说话欲望，这无疑是极大的危险，但我说的故事的能力，又带给了她愉悦，这使他陷入深深的矛盾之中。 apopularsayinggoes”itiseasiertochangethecourseofariverthanapersonsnature.”despitemyparentstirelessguidance,mynaturaldesiretotalk
