Mama, Do You Love Me?
by Barbara M. Joosse. illustrated by Barbara Lavalee
Mama, do you love me?
Yes, I do , Dear One.
How much?
I love you more than the raven loves his treasure,
more than the dog loves his tail,
more than the whale loves his spout.
*raven-烏鴉
spout-鯨的噴水孔
How long?
I 'll love you until the umiak flies into the darkness,
till the stars turn to fish in the sky,
and the puffin howls at the moon.
*umiak-愛斯基摩皮筏
puffin-海鸚
howl- 嚎叫
Mama,what if I carried our eggs- our ptarmigan eggs!-
and I tried to be careful,
and I tried to walk slowly, but I fell and the eggs broke?
Then I would be sorry.
But still, I would love you.
*ptarmigan-雷鳥
What if I put salmon in your parka,
ermine in your mittens,
and lemmings in your mukluks?
Then I would be angry.
*parka-(愛斯基摩人等穿的)有頭套的毛皮外衣
ermine-貂
mitten-連指手套
lemming- 旅鼠 ( 產於北歐,繁殖數目達到極限時便大規模遷徙,有時逕直行進入海
溺死,被稱之為「旅鼠集體自殺」 )
mukluk- (愛斯基摩人穿的)海豹皮靴
What if I threw water at our lamp?
Then, Dear One, I would be very angry.
But still, I would love you.
What if I ran away?
Then I would be worried.
What if I stayed away and sang with the wolves and slept in a cave?
Then, Dear One, I would be very sad.
But still,I would love you.
What if I turn into a musk-ox?
Then I would be surprised.
What if I turn into a walrus?
Then I would be surprised and a little scared.
*walrus-海象
What if I turned into al polar bear,
and I was the meanest bear you ever saw
and I had sharp,shiny teeth,
and I chased you into your tent and you cried?
*tent-帳篷
Then I would be very surprised and very scared.
But still, inside the bear, you would be you, and I would love you.
I will love you,
forever and for always,
beacuse you are my Dear One.
