布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
This seemed to me the saddest and blankest moment in my life. For several years my mother had not been in good health, but I had no idea, when I parted from her the previous day, that I should never see her alive again. Besides that, I had always had an intense desire to be with her when she did pass away. One of the chief ambitions which spurred me on at Hampton was that I might be able to get to be in a position in which I could better make my mother comfortable and happy. She had so often expressed the wish that she might be permitted to live to see her children educated and started out in the world.

白话
这是我一生中最悲伤、最空落的时刻。母亲身体不好多年,但前一天分别时我完全没想到再也见不到她。我一直特别想在她临终时守在身边;在汉普顿鞭策我的主要志向之一,就是将来能让母亲过得舒服、开心。她常说她希望能活到看见孩子们受教育、走上社会。这让人明白,奋斗的目标里要早点把家人放进去,别总等“以后有出息了”再补偿。
上下文
母亲去世后,华盛顿回想自己在汉普顿求学的动力,很大一部分来自想让母亲过上好日子。
今日一问
你正在为之努力的目标里,有没有一个具体是为了让家人现在就更安心?
