这篇文章讲述了一位母亲在孩子成长过程中的感受和经历。她描述了从孩子婴儿时期到成年后的变化,以及她与两个儿子之间的难忘时光。虽然时间飞逝,但母子间的情感历久弥新。
　　Life seems long when we're looking ahead,and so short when we're looking back.That's especially true for a mother.One day you're holding a two-month-old baby,wondering if he's ever going to stop crying.And the next day you're seeing him off at college,wondering if he's ever going to call you.
Where does the time fly I want my children to grow up,but I don't want to let them go.The grown children can be as much fun as little ones.Here are two examples:
When my father-in-law died,I called my younger son Nate to say I'd drive up to Yosemite,and we'd drive out the next day to attend the funeral①.It was snowing when I stopped in the park.The next morning,Nate and I left early,only to get stuck behind a bus with a flat tyre,blocking the road.We sat for five hours in a blizzard (暴风雪) waiting for the road to be cleared.Meanwhile,Nate entertained② me with jokes.I will never forget it.
A few years later,I flew to New York to visit my elder son Josh.That night,Josh began having pain in his right side.We took a cab③ to a hospital and he had an operation.Afterwards,I stayed for a week to take care of him.We watched movies and ate take-out④ meals.I will never forget it.
Being a mother doesn't end when our children grow up.We still want to protect⑤ them,just as we did the day they were born.And grown children will always need a mother.At the same time,we'll always need our grown-up⑥ children to make us laugh and keep us young and fill that place in our hearts that only they can fill.

[原文呈现]　　　　　 Strangers under the same roof
　　Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a battle Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything① [1] You are not alone.Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
[1]该句为问题导入,引起读者的兴趣和共鸣,激发读者的思考。
Teenagers’ physical changes may result in such family tensions②.You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate③ to your friends, shooting up in height④ or getting left far behind.[2] You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots.When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets of your anger.
[2]该句为复合句,that引导宾语从句, shooting up in height和getting left far behind是并列的现在分词短语作状语,表伴随。
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too.You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult.You have both a new desire for independence⑤ and a continued need for your parents’ love and support.You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own⑥. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.[3] “Why can’t they just let me go ” you may wonder.On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings⑦, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride⑧.It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult.All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship⑨.
[3]该句为and连接的两个并列句。第一个分句中not always为部分否定,意为“并非总是”。
Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation⑩.The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication.When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view .Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain.After you have thought it through , explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and address their concerns .Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.[4]
[4]该句为简单句。 Through this kind of...作状语,表方式。句中两个when to...为“疑问词+不定式”结构,作动词learn 的宾语。
Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent-child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship.[5] The good news is that this stormy period will not last.[6] Everything will turn out all right in the end , and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood .
[5]该句为祈使句。remember后接两个that引导的宾语从句。第一个宾语从句的that可以省略, 第二个宾语从句的that 不可以省略。第一个宾语从句中that parent-child tensions create为定语从句,修饰前面的the stress。
[6]该句为复合句。that引导表语从句。
[名师圈点]
①see eye to eye with sb (on sth) (在某事上)与某人看法一致
②result in such family tensions导致这样的家庭关系紧张
③at a different rate以不同的速度
④shoot up in height快速长高
⑤a new desire for independence对独立充满新的渴望
⑥make decisions on your own你自己做决定
⑦struggle to control your feelings努力控制你的情感
⑧a rough ride一段艰难的历程
⑨lead to a breakdown in your relationship导致你们的关系破裂
⑩take action to improve the situation采取措施改善这种情况
the key to keeping the peace保持和平的关键
calm down平静,镇静,安静
from their point of view从他们的角度出发
think sth through充分考虑,全盘考虑,想透
address their concerns消除他们的疑虑
back down承认错误,认输
struggle with the stress和压力作斗争
turn out all right in the end最后都会变好
prepare you for adulthood让你为成年做好准备
[译文参考]　　　　　 同一屋檐下的陌生人
是不是你和父母的每一顿饭似乎都会演变成一场争执 你们曾经暖心坦诚的对话是否已变得冷漠且谨慎 你是否觉得你已经无法在任何事情上与他们达成一致 你并不是唯一的一个。激烈的争论和冷淡的沉默在青少年和他们的父母之间是很常见的。
青少年的身体变化可能会导致这样的家庭关系紧张。你可能会感到焦虑,因为你的发展速度与朋友不同,身高上升或被甩在后面。你可能会担心自己不断变化的声音、体重问题和青春痘。当这一切让你不堪重负时,父母常常会成为你发泄愤怒的首选目标。
如何平衡你日益发展的心理需求,也是个颇让人头疼的大问题。你进入到一个陌生的中间地带——不再是个小孩子但也还算不上是个成年人。你既对独立充满新的渴望,又对父母的爱与支持抱有不断的需求。你感到自己已经为肩负更多责任做好了准备,可以独立做决定。遗憾的是,你的父母不总是同意,这使你感到不快乐。你可能会想:“他们为什么就不能对我放手呢 ”另一方面,当你努力想控制自己的情感时,你希望他们能更加体贴,更有耐心——有时候他们忘记了成长是一个艰难的过程。当你的父母把你当作孩子来对待,却希望你表现得像个大人时,你的处境就会很艰难。所有这些都可能会导致你们的关系破裂。
　　尽管有时候一家人似乎根本无法和谐相处,但是你可以采取行动改善这一局面。维持和睦关系的关键是定期、坦诚的沟通。当你不同意父母的意见时,花一分钟时间冷静下来,试着从他们的角度来了解状况。或许他们经历过类似的事情,不想让你经受同样的痛苦。在你全面考虑之后,冷静地解释你的行为和感受,仔细倾听,并设法消除他们的顾虑。通过这种健康的讨论,你会学会什么时候承认错误,什么时候让父母放松控制。
　　只要记住,无法轻松应对亲子关系紧张带来的压力是完全正常的,并且你和父母可以共同努力,改善关系。好消息是这段暴风雨时期不会持续下去。最后一切都会好起来的。青少年时期遇到的变化和挑战会让你为成年做好准备。

This is my son Matthew's last night at home before college.I know that this is good news.I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school.I know that this is his finest hour.But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can't stop crying.
Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment.“Pull yourself together!” I tell myself.There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones.How dare I feel so shocked and upset
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen.Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons.As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me.After my parents' divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio.By the time Sunday came around, I was unable to enjoy the day's activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now, standing among Matthew's accumulation of possessions, I realise it's me who has become a boy again.All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare.It already has the feel of a guest bed.In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favourite blanket.That was our nightly routine until one evening he said,“Daddy, I don't think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading.I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping.I'll never have to worry about that again, I realise.
For his part, Matthew has been a rock.He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office.And I'm glad.After all, someone's got to be strong.I'm proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.

语 篇 助 解 释 疑
Strangers under the same roof
　　Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a battle Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything① [1] You are not alone.Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
[1]该句为问题导入,引起读者的兴趣和共鸣,激发读者的思考。
[原文呈现]
Teenagers’ physical changes may result in such family tensions②. You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate③ to your friends, shooting up in height④ or getting left far behind.[2] You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots.When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets of your anger.
[2]该句为复合句,that引导宾语从句, shooting up in height和getting left far behind是并列的现在分词短语作状语,表伴随。
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too.You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult.You have both a new desire for independence⑤ and a continued need for your parents’ love and support.You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own⑥. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.[3] “Why can’t they just let me go ” you may wonder. On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings⑦,
you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride⑧.It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult.All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship⑨.
[3]该句为and连接的两个并列句。第一个分句中not always为部分否定,意为“并非总是”。
Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation⑩.The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication.When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view .Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain.After you have thought it through , explain your actions
and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and address their concerns . Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.[4]
[4]该句为简单句。 Through this kind of...作状语,表方式。句中两个when to...为“疑问词+不定式”结构,作动词learn 的宾语。
[5]该句为祈使句。remember后接两个that引导的宾语从句。第一个宾语从句的that可以省略, 第二个宾语从句的that 不可以省略。第一个宾语从句中that parent-child tensions create为定语从句,修饰前面的the stress。
[6]该句为复合句。that引导表语从句。
[名师圈点]
①see eye to eye with sb (on sth) (在某事上)与某人看法一致
②result in such family tensions导致这样的家庭关系紧张
③at a different rate以不同的速度
④shoot up in height快速长高

struggle with the stress和压力作斗争
turn out all right in the end最后都会变好
prepare you for adulthood让你为成年做好准备
[译文参考]
同一屋檐下的陌生人
　　是不是你和父母的每一顿饭似乎都会演变成一场争执 你们曾经暖心坦诚的对话是否已变得冷漠且谨慎 你是否觉得你已经无法在任何事情上与他们达成一致 你并不是唯一的一个。激烈的争论和冷淡的沉默在青少年和他们的父母之间是很常见的。
青少年的身体变化可能会导致这样的家庭关系紧张。你可能会感到焦虑,因为你的发展速度与朋友不同,身高上升或被甩在后面。你可能会担心自己不断变化的声音、体重问题和青春痘。当这一切让你不堪重负时,父母常常会成为你发泄愤怒的首选目标。
如何平衡你日益发展的心理需求,也是个颇让人头疼的大问题。你进入到一个陌生的中间地带——不再是个小孩子但也还算不上是个成年人。你既对独立充满新的渴望,又对父母的爱与支持抱有不断的需求。你感到自己已经为肩负更多责任做好了准备,可以独立做决定。遗憾的是,你的父母不总是同意,这使你感到不快乐。你可能会想:“他们为什么就不能对我放手呢 ”另一方面,当你努力想控制自己的情感时,你希望他们能更加体贴,更有耐心——有时候他们忘记了成长是一个艰难的过程。当你的父母把你当作孩子来对待,却希望你表现得像个大人时,你的处境就会很艰难。所有这些都可能会导致你们的关系破裂。
　　尽管有时候一家人似乎根本无法和谐相处,但是你可以采取行动改善这一局面。维持和睦关系的关键是定期、坦诚的沟通。当你不同意父母的意见时,花一分钟时间冷静下来,试着从他们的角度来了解状况。或许他们经历过类似的事情,不想让你经受同样的痛苦。在你全面考虑之后,冷静地解释你的行为和感受,仔细倾听,并设法消除他们的顾虑。通过这种健康的讨论,你会学会什么时候承认错误,什么时候让父母放松控制。
　　只要记住,无法轻松应对亲子关系紧张带来的压力是完全正常的,并且你和父母可以共同努力,改善关系。好消息是这段暴风雨时期不会持续下去。最后一切都会好起来的。青少年时期遇到的变化和挑战会让你为成年做好准备。

This is my son Matthew's last night at home before college.I know that this is good news.I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school.I know that this is his finest hour.But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can't stop crying.
Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment.“Pull yourself together!” I tell myself.There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones.How dare I feel so shocked and upset
One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowen.Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons.As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me.After my parents' divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio.By the time Sunday came around, I was unable to enjoy the day’s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.
Now, standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions, I realise it’s me who has become a boy again.All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.
His bed is tidy and spare.It already has the feel of a guest bed.In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favourite blanket.That was our nightly routine until one evening he said,“Daddy, I don’t think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading.I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping.I’ll never have to worry about that again, I realise.
For his part, Matthew has been a rock.He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office.And I’m glad.After all, someone’s got to be strong.I’m proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.
