听力原文

母亲,是世界上最神圣的字眼,它包含了最伟大的爱。“慈母手中线,游子身上衣”可能也是我们最熟悉的诗句了。今天,就让我们借一首小诗,献上对母亲深深的爱吧!

You are not my birth mom - My real Mom wasn't you.

But You are oh so special - and the loving things you do

Make me feel so valuable - You cheer me up when I'm sad.

And If you were my Real Mom I know I would be glad.

Birth:表示“出世、诞生”等意思,比如,The birth of a child(小孩的出生)。在这里,birth表示“身世、出身”,You are not my birth mom就是“您(虽)不是我的亲生母亲”的意思。另外还有birth brothers and sisters就表示“同胞兄弟姐妹”的意思。

Cheer up:表示“使……振作起来”的意思,它的同义词是buck up。如果你想安慰伤心的朋友,就可以说 Cheer up! The news is not so bad.(振作一点吧,也不是什么太坏的消 息)。这句话可是很顶用的呵!

Moms are special people. They are loved and needed so.

Now I am thinking of You. And I wanted you to Know -

That since it's time for Mothers' Day -

And though you're just on loan -

I Love you just as much As If you were My very own!

On loan:on loan的本意是“借来的”。哇!借来的妈妈!你听说过吗?开个小玩笑,在这里on loan其实表示“非亲生的”的意思。
