Finally，though，they returned to their car for the trip home. While the kids chattered and the man drove，the woman sat smiling，surrounded by her flowers，a faraway look in her eyes.
最后不过，他们返回了他们回家的车。那时孩子们聊着天，男人开着车，女人坐着笑，周围环绕着花，出神地望着远处
"Mom，"the kids asked，"who was that？Why did you give her our flowers？Is she somebody's mother？"The mother said she didn't know the old woman. But it was Mother's Day，and she seemed so alone，and who wouldn't be cheered by flowers？"Besides，"she added，"I have all of you，and I still have my mother，even if she is far away. That woman needed those flowers more than I did. "
“妈妈”孩子们问，“那是谁？为什么把我们的花给她？她是谁的妈妈？妈妈说她不认识这个老人。但是那是母亲节，她看起来很孤单，谁不想用花来庆祝”？她再说，“我有你们还有我妈妈，尽管她在远方。这个妇女比我更需要这些花。”
Every Mother's Day our kids gather purple bouquets. And every year I remember that smile on a lonely old woman's face，and the kindness that put the smile there.
每逢母亲节我们的孩子们收集紫丁香，而每年我都记得那个孤单老人的笑脸，那记下了笑容般的仁慈。
