All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like a clean glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them—a mother's approval, a father's nod—are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand: their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.
参考译文:
所有的父母都会伤害孩子。谁都没有办法。孩子就像一只洁净的玻璃杯,拿过它的人会在上面留下手印。父母很少会对他们的孩子放手,所以,孩子就对他们的父母放手。他们向前走。他们向远处走。那些曾经让他们感到自身价值的东西——母亲的赞同,父亲的点头——都已经被他们自己取得的成绩所替代。直到很久以后,当他们的皮肤变得松垂了,心脏变得衰弱了,他们才会明白:他们的故事和他们所有的成就,都是基于父母的经历建立起来的,就像生命之河里的石头,层层叠叠。
