关于母亲的诗歌(1)

She's Only A Mother

You never see the tears than she's about to cry,

instead she turns her head to hide them.

You never see the times she stills away to her secret closet to pray,

instead she invites you in to just talk.

You never see how her shoulders are sagging from heavy burdens,

instead she gives you those shoulders to cry on.

You never see the aches in her heart when her children rebel,

instead she gives them more patience and love.

You never see the hand she pulls back when she's rejected,

instead she continues to lerd a "helping" hand.

You never see the aches in her hands from grasping and holding on when she feels like giving up,

instead she folds those same hands and prays even more.

You never see the aches in her knees from praying for othres,

inseead she spends even more time on her knees.

You never see the fears she has of being a "disappointment",

instead she prays for more power and a sound mind.

You never see any of these things and she doesn't want you to.

After all,she's only "a mother".

她只是位母亲

你永远见不到她将要流出的眼泪,

她只会转过头去忍住泪水。

你永远见不到她静静地在密室祈祷,

她只会请你近来谈天说地。

你永远见不到沉重的负担把她双肩压弯,

她只会任你依靠在她肩膀上哭泣。

你永远见不到孩子反叛时她内心的疼痛,

他只会给予他们更多耐心与爱意。

你永远见不到他被拒绝收回的手,

她只会一如既往伸手相助。

你永远见不到她快要撑不住但又想紧紧抓住时留在手上的伤痕,

她只会十指交握,祈祷更多。

你永远见不到她为他人祈祷后膝盖的酸痛,

她只会更多次跪下祈祷。

你永远见不到她怕“令人失望”时内心的恐惧,

她只会祈求有更多的力量和更健全的心灵。

你永远不会见到这些,她也不会让你看到。

毕竟,她只是“一位母亲”。

关于母亲的诗歌(2)

What rules the World?-- William Ross Wallace. (1819–1881)


They say that man is mighty,

He governs land and sea;

He wields a mighty scepter

O’er lesser powers that be;



But a mightier power and stronger,

Man from his throne has hurled,

And the hand that rocks the cradle

Is the hand that rules the world.

什么支配着世界--威廉.罗斯.华莱士

都说人力无穷,

支配着陆地与大海,

行使着至高无上的王权,

统治着弱小的生灵。

然而还有更强大的力量,

将人从宝座上掀起,

是那双轻推着摇篮的手,

主宰着整个世界。


作者 威廉.罗斯.华莱士 ,美国诗人,1819年生于来克星顿市(位于美国肯塔基州)。这首诗歌朴素的言语表达了对普天下母亲的赞美和热爱之情。诗中引用了英国谚语:“推摇篮的手就是支配着世界的手。”让人们更深刻的认识到母亲影响着这个世界,影响着她的子女的一生。

"母亲"的含义

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold.
"E" is for her eyes ,with the love-light shining,
"R" means right,and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER",
A word that means the world to me.

“M”代表她所给予我的无数,
“O”
的意思是她在日渐老去,
“T”是她为抚育我洒下的泪,
“H”
指她有像金子一般的心灵,
“E”就是她的眼睛,里面洋溢着爱的光芒,
“R”的意思是正确,因为她永远是对的。
将以上字母串在一起就是“母亲(mother)”,
这个是我的整个的世界。

献给母亲的歌曲(2)

歌曲:This Is To Mother You
歌手:Sinead O'Connor (谢妮德-奥康娜)

This is to mother you

To comfort you and get you through

Through when your nights are lonely

Through when your dreams are only blue


This is to mother you

This is to be with you

To hold you and to kiss you too

For when you need me I will do

What your own mother didn't do

Which is to mother you


All the pain that you have known

All the violence in your soul

All the 'wrong' things you have done

I will take from you when I come

All mistakes made in distress

All your unhappiness

I will take away with my kiss, yes

I will give you tenderness

For child I am so glad I've found you


Although my arms have always been around you

Sweet bird although you did not see me

I saw you And I'm here to mother you

To comfort you and get you through

Through when your nights are lonely

Through when your dreams are only blue

This is to mother you

剧情简介

    常言说“三个女人一台戏”,而当三个性格各异的年轻少女遭遇了一位操心备至的老妈,相信这一场“母女大战”早晚都要爆发了。老妈达芙妮(戴安•基顿)家有三个千金:大女儿麦琪(劳伦•格拉汉姆)是理智且性情固执的心理学家;二女儿梅(派珀尔•派拉伯)则自恃性感尽显辣妹风采;乖巧的小女儿米莉(曼迪•摩尔)虽可爱听话,却也时常因与老妈在观念上的分歧而小有叛逆之心。眼看着老大、老二都到了“女大不中留”的地步,而同样已进入成年的小女儿却处处显现出了对男人完全没有任何免疫力的迹象。因此,这位操心老妈达芙妮便也随着孩子们的“长大成人”而变得更加的火急火燎。尤其是想到自己曾经的爱情失败的遭遇,更是为三个女儿未来的爱情生活担心不已。为了避免自己的心肝宝贝儿们重蹈自己被爱情挫伤的覆辙,老妈达芙妮决定上网代女招亲。但是,当女儿们发现自己被老妈冒名顶替在网上寻觅如意郎君的时候,一向乖巧的三女儿米莉竟率先地又羞又恼起来。并联合两位姐姐一同展开与顽固老妈达芙妮的“爱情大战”……


主演介绍

  一场精彩纷呈的女人戏,自然是女演员的天下。制片方自然也颇费心思地为影片打造了“以老带新”的女星阵容。首先奥斯卡黄金级别的老戏骨戴安•基顿的光彩头衔,绝对称得上为影片增色不少。
  黛安•基顿堪称是好莱坞女星中著名的演技派之一。她在艺术上执着追求,大多塑造现代西方的睿智女性形象。她同好莱坞最著名的喜剧大师伍迪•艾伦长期合作,在影坛上独辟一派,创造了“市民风俗喜剧”。这位影后于1946年1月5日出生在美国加里福尼亚州圣莫尼卡市。父亲是位工程师,漂亮的母亲曾是选美比赛中的胜者。自幼便喜欢表演的她一直都得到了父母的支持。黛安上大学不久便中途辍学,到纽约的奈瓦福特剧院去系统学习表演技巧。经过专业训练后,她登上百老汇的舞台,演出了《头发》一剧。1972年,首次跻身大银幕,在影片《教父》里扮演黑手党第二代教父迈克尔的妻子凯,由于此角的成功,1974年又在《教父续集》里扮演同一角色。黛安•基顿至今共有两次被提名奥斯卡奖,一次折桂。得奖作品为《安妮•霍尔》。她在该片中成功地刻画了一个纽约知识阶层妇女的形象。黛安•基顿的表演充满了温馨和喜趣,她那浪漫的举止、执俏的对白和矜持的目光无不是对社会的现实与人生的嘲讽。片中她穿男式衬衫,戴领带,外面又套一件夹克衫,下身则穿肥大的长裤,这套服装随着影片的成功而风靡一时,成为当时许多妇女竞相仿效的时装。黛安•基顿第二次被奥斯卡奖提名是在《赤色分子》中的演出。她扮演一个风流倜傥的女记者路易丝。路易丝原先是有丈夫的,但被进步记者约翰•里德的献身精神所倾倒……


影片简评

  每年二月,都堪称是小成本电影发迹的春天。尤其是喜剧与恐怖类型片,大都能以他们独特的故事情节和简单轻松的氛围吸引观众们驻足欣赏。二月初上映的本片处于冬春两季的交接的档期,这个时段影片基本是充当为暴风骤雨般的暑期档做热身的角色。此类喜剧片最适合此时解冻迎春。尤其是本片“母亲代女儿相亲,又反遭抵抗”的噱头在此类轻喜剧中略显少见。而且有无论对待何种角色都能爆发出强烈个人魅力的戴安•基顿和在年轻人里人气指数颇高的曼迪?摩尔等人的强力加盟,更成为本片最大的卖点。自然能吸引不少处于相同年龄段的女性观众的观看。而且,轻松搞笑且略显另类的爱情喜剧故事自然也能在情人节前后打动更多的情侣观众掏钱加入。因此,从前景上来看该片足可以在票房争夺战中小有作为。

中国的母亲花

中国的母亲花----萱草花


早在康乃馨成为母爱的象征之前,我国也有一种母亲之花,它就是萱草花。萱草是百合科多年生草本植物,根茎肉质,叶狭长,细长的枝顶端开出桔红或桔黄色的花,十分艳丽,它不仅供人观赏,花蕾叫金针,也可作蔬菜供人食用,在我国南北方广为栽植。

萱草又名"谖草"、"金针"、"宜男草"等,《救荒本草》叫它"川草花";《古今注》称之为"丹棘";《说文》记载为"忘忧草";《本草纲目》名之为"疗愁"。在英名day lily是"一日百合"的意思,点出了萱草花期只有一天的短暂。

萱草在我国有几千年载培历史,萱草又名谖草,谖就是忘的意思。最早文字记载见之于《诗经·卫风·伯兮》:"焉得谖草,言树之背"。朱熹注曰:"谖草,令人忘忧;背,北堂也。"另一称她忘忧,来自《博物志》中:"萱草,食之令人好欢乐,忘忧思,故日忘忧草。"诗经疏称:"北堂幽暗,可以种萱";北堂即代表母亲之意。古时候当游子要远行时,就会先在北堂种萱草,希望母亲减轻对孩子的思念,忘却烦忧。唐朝孟郊《游子诗》写道:"萱草生堂阶,游子行天涯;慈母倚堂门,不见萱草花。"王冕《偶书》"今朝风日好,堂前萱草花。持杯为母寿,所喜无喧哗。"陶潜的饮酒诗:"泛此忘忧物,远我遗世情"。历代文人也常以之为咏吟的题材,曹植为之作颂,苏东坡为之作诗,夏侯湛为之作赋,一一的点出萱草在生活中的地位。

萱草又叫做宜男草。民间有一传说,当妇女怀孕时,在胸前插上一枝萱草花就会生男孩,故名宜男。唐玄宗时,兴庆宫中栽种了多种萱草,有人作诗讥讽说:"清萱到处碧鬖鬖,兴庆宫前色倍含;借问皇家何种此?太平天子要宜男。"

萱草既可入药,又可作菜肴。北方人唤作黄花菜,广东 人叫做金针;《本草纲目》载曰:"今东人采其花而货之,名为黄花菜。"拉丁学名的种名fulva,就是"黄褐色"的意思。又其花丝细长,状如古时金针,又名金针菜。

历代医书讨论萱草甚为详细,《本草注》谓:"萱草味甘,令人好戏,乐而忘忧。"晋代嵇康在《养生论》中写道:"合欢蠲忿,萱草忘忧,愚智所共知也。"(蠲通"捐",是抛弃之意)。《本草求真》谓:"萱草味甘而气微凉,能去湿利水,除热通淋,止渴消烦,开胸宽膈,令人心平气和,无有忧郁。"清同治期间,称着江南的费伯雄于《医方论》说:"劳者,五脏积劳也。伤者,七情受伤也。百忧感其心,万事劳其形,忧愁太过,忽忽不乐……萱草忘忧汤主之。" 1993年王楚翘、范斌等报导《萱草花治疗失眠症的临床与实验报告》,认为此药有镇静安眠作用,且少有副作用,对各种原因引起的失眠症,尤其是肝功能障碍伴有失眠者,是一种比较理想的药物。

萱草花有药食同功的双重功能,不但营养价值极高,且有极好的健脑效果,在 日本 称为健脑菜,并列为"植物性食品中最有代表性的健脑食品之一"。另外,据吴李久华在《延寿考》中云:"嫩苗为蔬,食之动风,令人昏然如醉,因名忘忧"。《群芳谱》记载:"春食苗,夏食花,其雅牙花的跗皆可食。但性冷下气,不可多食"。《中药大辞典》载其含有生物碱、黄酮类。据测定每100克干制品中含蛋白质9.14克、脂肪0.4-0.25克、糖分50-60.2克、钙300-463毫克,并含有维生素A、B、C及多种微量元素。

药食俱佳的金针菜,传说与神医华佗有关。华佗生在社会混乱瘟疫流行的东汉末年。有一年,华佗到 江苏 泗阳行医时,忽然曹操派人来请华佗为他治疗头疼之疾。华佗不从,曹兵以刀相逼。当天夜里,华佗转辗反侧不能入眠,朦胧中见一仙人,吩咐华佗如此这般,然后把金针向他怀里一扔,便飘然飞走。华佗醒来,果然在胸前摸到一把金针。翌日华佗含泪向送别的人说:"今有一束金针,送与你们解救灾难!"说完手一扬,一束金光,飞向四面八方。众人随着金光望去,只见漫山遍野长满了叶青青,花黄黄的植物。人们采其花蕾煮水喝下去,慢慢地止住了瘟疫。金针菜从此传遍各地,经过人们的尝试,不仅能治病,而且还是一道可口的菜肴呢!

萱草在现代化学染料出现之前,还是一种常用的染料。另外,萱草对氟十分敏感,当空气受到氟污染时,萱草叶子的尖端就变成红褐色,所以常被用来监测环境是否受到氟污染的指针植物。
