我听到爱的声音（英语天天阅读20081122）

      When I was growing up I do not recall hearing the words “I love you” from my father. When your father never says them to you when you are a child, it gets tougher and tougher for him to say those words as he gets older. To tell the truth, I could not honestly remember when I had last said those words to him either. I decided to set my ego aside and make the first move. After some hesitation, in our next phone conversation I blurted out the words, “Dad… I love you!”
There was a silence at the other end and he awkwardly replied, “Well, same back at ya!”

I chuckled and said, “Dad, I know you love me, and when you are ready, I know you will say what you want to say.”
   Fifteen minutes later my mother called and nervously asked, “Paul, is everything okay?”
A few weeks later, Dad concluded our phone conversation with the words, “Paul, I love you.” I was at work during this conversation and the tears were rolling down my cheeks as I finally “heard” the love. As we both sat there in tears we realized that this special moment had taken our father/son relationship to a new level.
   A short while after this special moment, my father narrowly escaped death following heart surgery. Many times since, I have pondered the thought, if I did not take the first step and Dad did not survive the surgery, I would have never “heard” the love.

maybe the real love sound is silence sometimes~

In China the relationship of the family especially between father and son can't expresss in word.

当我渐渐长大，已经记不起父亲对我说过“我爱你”之类的话了。孩提时，父亲从来没有对我们说过那些话。随着父亲日渐衰老，那些话就越来越难说出口了。坦白地说，我也真的不记得自己最后一次对父亲说“我爱你”是在什么时候了。（我只记得当时）我下定决心放下自尊（这样翻译不合适，什么词比较好呢？），主动表达我的爱。在一次电话聊天中，我犹豫了一会后突然脱口而出：“爸爸••••••我爱您！”
电话那头先是一阵沉默，后来父亲很不自然地说，“嗯，我也是的。”
I chuckled and said, “Dad, I know you love me, and when you are ready, I know you will say what you want to say.”
我咯咯地笑着说：“爸爸，我知道你爱我。我知道你准备好了，就会说出你想说的话。”
Fifteen minutes later my mother called and nervously asked, “Paul, is everything okay?”
过了十五分钟后，母亲打来电话，紧张的问道，“Paul，你没事吧？”
A few weeks later, Dad concluded our phone conversation with the words, “Paul, I love you.” I was at work during this conversation and the tears were rolling down my cheeks as I finally “heard” the love. As we both sat there in tears we realized that this special moment had taken our father/son relationship to a new level.
几周后，父亲在一次电话交谈结束时（父亲临挂电话时），对我说：“儿子，我爱你。”当时我正在工作，听到了“爱”的声音，顿时眼泪顺着脸颊滚滚而下。我们都噙着泪坐着，意识到我们父子关系在那一特殊时刻升华了。
A short while after this special moment, my father narrowly escaped death following heart surgery. Many times since, I have pondered the thought, if I did not take the first step and Dad did not survive the surgery, I would have never “heard” the love.
在那之后不久，父亲从心脏手术中死里逃生。后来，我一直这样想：假如我没有先“采取行动”，父亲没有度过手术关，我就永远听不到“爱”的声音了。
