Mom, I Got My Attitude From You, And That’s Not A Bad Thing!

媽媽,這倔勁兒隨你,而這不是一件壞事!

Dear Mom,

親愛的媽咪,

The big question appalled and surprised parents often ask their child after a confrontational orrevelatory moment is, "Where did you get this attitude from?" I know you hate to admit it, but I get much of my determined and strong-willed nature from you.

經(jīng)過一陣對抗和宣泄之后,震驚的父母通常會問:“你的這種態(tài)度是哪里來的?”我知道你不樂意承認(rèn)這些,但我這堅持不懈的性格,大多都是從你那里學(xué)來的。

Mom, I know it’s hard dealing with the teenage angst and the ever-changing moods that come with raising a child. But you should also marvel at the fact that I’ve made it this far, that I’m healthy and happy.

媽媽,我知道對為青春期的孩子擔(dān)憂的感受不好受,也知道你的心情因為養(yǎng)育孩子而跌宕起伏。但你也應(yīng)該驚嘆于我已經(jīng)成長到了這一步,而我現(xiàn)在健康又快樂。

When I was small, I would attend barbecues and family events and wander away from my parents. It wouldn’t be long before someone would stop me to ask whether I was my mother’s daughter.

小時候,我會在燒烤派對和家庭活動中離開父母自己到處跑。不久,總會有人攔住我問我是不是我母親的女兒。

"Your mom is Melissa," they’d say, a warm smile on their faces. "Is that right?" I would nod, I assume, parents feel when their child talks back or defies them, I was appalled at this statement. To me, I acted nothing like you, Mom.

“你媽媽是梅麗莎,”他們會帶著溫暖的微笑問,“對吧?”我會點頭,我想,當(dāng)孩子頂撞父母的時候,父母在感情上肯定很受傷吧,我當(dāng)時被這個想法震驚到了。在我看來,我和你一點都不像啊,媽媽。

No one says, "I know you’re Melissa’s daughter because of your eyes and nose" it’s the charactertraits that seal the deal. Dry wit, intelligence, and yes, maybe a little bit of attitude—these are the things I am grateful I have received from you. There’s nothing wrong with having attitude.

沒有人會說:“我知道你是梅利莎的女兒,是因為你的眼睛和鼻子和你媽媽很像”其實,性格特點的相似才是背后的原因。我很高興我從你那遺傳了我的機(jī)智、聰明,可能還有一點倔勁兒。這樣的性格沒有什么不對的。

Like for most black individuals, attitude is what defines you and me, and it’s what keeps us from being mentally oppressed and defeated. Attitude is a non-violent form of protection and confrontation -- where would we be in the world without this tool? Surely not where we are.

像對大多數(shù)黑人一樣,這倔勁兒是我們的標(biāo)志,它使我們免于在精神上受到壓迫和擊敗。態(tài)度是一種非暴力的自保與對抗,如果沒有這個工具,我們的生活將是怎樣?肯定沒有現(xiàn)在這么好。

Mom, when people ask me where I get my attitude from, I tell them: you. And when they ask me where I got my drive, my work ethic, my good hair, and my sense of humor, I say you as well. I will always say this.

媽媽,當(dāng)人們問我這倔勁兒是從哪來的,我會告訴他們,是從你那來的。當(dāng)他們問我在哪里獲得動力、職業(yè)道德、我的好發(fā)質(zhì)和幽默感,我也會說是你。我會永遠(yuǎn)這樣說。

When I’m asked why I am the way I am -- why I refuse to allow others to hurt me with their words or actions, why I think and speak about things openly and without fear—I’ll tell them it's because of you.

當(dāng)別人問起我為什么會這樣處事——我為什么不許別人用言語或者言行傷害我,為什么我可以毫無恐懼的坦然的說出我所想的事——我會告訴他們,是因為你。

I’ll complain to you about the arguments between us that leave me wondering about how God made us so much alike that we hardly even noticed.

我要跟你談?wù)勎覀兊哪切_突,它們讓我很好奇上帝是如何使我們?nèi)绱讼嘞?,以至于我們幾乎沒有注意到。

But I’ll tell them about you.

但我會跟別人說,我的優(yōu)點都來自你。

Love,

愛你的
