媽媽手記 (一) I gave birth to my children

    語文班老師，要學生自我介紹 ( talking about self ) ,我寫了…

      When I was child, my mother taught me, "Your name is Hsiao- Yin , your lived in the
9 Duck Street, Birkdale ."

      When I met my lover, we talked about songs. dances.and hobbies. We had good time
together.

      When I gave birth oldest daughter. " Oh my goodness."
      When I gave birth young daughter. " Oh my God . I could like son. "
      Three years later, I gave birth oldest son. All family was happiness.
      When I was forty-two years old, I got my litter baby. "Oh thank God. "

       When I was fifty years old. I want to Australia for my new life.

    一眨眼就十年，時間, 空間,....的距離，讓我警覺孩子們和我，有了點距離……所以每天一大早，
藉著internet 向我的孩子們道早安，聊聊天，希望親子間，無距離。

born 和 give birth 有何分別。
 born 是 我出生 ( 媽媽生我 ).
give birth 是我生我的小孩。(我是媽媽)

   我的 internet 老師解釋 ： "主詞不同，通常 born 是用在被生的人，Ex : Jeff was born  in 1998; give birth 指的生的人，也就是誰給的 Ex : Mom gave birth to Jeff in 1998.
