相当妈妈了!
Wanna be a Mom!
2007年
天生好奇的我又迎来一次大转变，
是继续当广告总监？
还是去瑞法边境的CERN陪伴做访问学者的他？
我选择了后者。
In the year of 2007,
I, the one who 's never lack of curiosity,
welcomed another big change in life.
Staying to be an advertising director
or going with him to CERN,
which is at the border of France and Switzerland,
where he would be a visiting scholar.
I chose the latter.

我被莱蒙湖边的日内瓦城给迷住了。
I was stunned by the beauty of Geneva
by Lake Leman.

为了快速融入新环境，
我进入一所语言培训学校学习法语。
I started my French course in
a language school to fit in the new environment.

很快的，我能用法语进行日常交流了。
在“日内瓦断椅”下，
意外遇到了“中国迷”联合国欧洲总部退休官员P先生，
他希望我在课余能教他汉语。
It was not long before that French
became my daily communication language.
Under the Broken Chair in Geneva,
I encountered Mr.P, a retired official
from UNOG and a Chinese culture lover as well,
he asked whether I could teach him Chinese
after my French course.

我们把教室选在CERN的餐厅，
这里既是餐厅也是开放式的讨论空间，
没有比置身于一群物理学家当中更有意境的事了。
我喜欢听P先生聊他的小提琴演奏家儿子。
We began our Chinese course
at the cafeteria in CERN,
which is also a place for open discussions.
There's nothing more ideal than being with
a group of physicists.
I was so fond of listening to his stories
about his son, a violinist.

半年后，接到国内友人的消息：5岁的兔子死了。
Half year later,a message came from
my friend in China, saying:
The 5-year-old rabbit was gone.

“如果兔子不是兔子，是孩子就好了，
这样就可以收到邀请拿到签证一起在这里生活。”
难过的我，走出家门，在勃朗峰桥畔，
竟遇到了他在CERN的合作伙伴维克多教授一家。
"If our rabbit was a child who could
get an invitation letter for visa,
it would be with us now." Feeling upset ,
I went out for a walk.
And on the Bridge of Mont Blanc,
I came across with Pro.Victor and his family,

看到他们天使一般的女儿，
我的心，
瞬间被照亮了！
The moment when I saw his daughters
who were like angels.
I felt my heart illuminated thoroughly.

如果说生命有期限是对人类的一种保护，
让人更懂得珍惜当下的人与事，
那么宠物兔的死提醒了我，
我们不过是浩瀚星空中的一粒尘埃，
惟有创造与我们一样的新的生命，
才能让所有的探索变得更有传递价值，
我知道，我的心准备好了：
成为一个妈妈！
If life expectancy is a protection for mankind
to cherish what we have at the moment.
My pet rabbit’s death actually reminded me
that we were merely dust in the universe,
that only by creating new life like us
could we make all researches
more valuable to be passed on.
And I realized that I was fully ready to be a Mom.

是什么契机让你想有个孩子呢？下一集，尽请期待！
