英语翻译
.For years I wanted a flower garden.I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins,Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.Five children.I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight,as well as time.Often when my children were little,one of them would want something that cost too much,and I'd have to say,"Do you see a money tree outside?Money doesn't grow on trees,you know."
Finally,all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.
Then,one spring morning,on Mother's Day,I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly,I looked out the window and there was a new tree,planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow,because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.Then I put my glasses on - and I couldn't believe what I saw.There was a money tree in my yard!
I went to have a look.It was true!There were dollar bills,one hundred of them,taped all over that tree.There was also a note among them,”Thank you for your time,Mom.We love you.”
Later,my children bought me tools,a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty,just like I wanted.When I go out and take care of my flowers,I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did.It feels like they're right there with me.
I live in a city where winters are long and cold,and summers are way too short.But every year now,when winter sets in,I look out my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me,and I get tears in my eyes - every time.I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!

我一直都想拥有一个花园,并花了好多时间思索什么种类的花栽在一起会好看.但之后我有了马修和马文,双胞胎阿里萨和艾伦,还有紧随其后的第五个孩子海伦.忙于照顾这五个孩子,我无法开辟一个花园.
时间和金钱是拮据的.当我的孩子们还很小的时候,他们中经常会有一个想要一些贵重的东西.我只能说“你们见过摇钱树吗?你要知道,钱不是从天上掉下来的.”
最终,五个孩子都完成了高中学业和大学学业并离开了家.我重新开始考虑开辟一个属于我自己的花园.
之后的一个春天的清晨,那是母亲节,我正在厨房忙碌.突然,我透过窗户看到一颗陌生的树被种在了我的院子里.我原以为这一定是棵垂柳,因为我看到有一些东西在它的枝干间摇曳.但当我戴上了我的眼镜——我简直无法相信我看到了什么-----我的院子里有一棵摇钱树!
我走近去看个究竟,它确实千真万确的立在哪里：树上用胶布绑满了面值100元的美元.在它们之间还有一张便条：“妈妈,谢谢你为抚育我们所耗费的时间,我们爱您.”后来,我的孩子们给我买了一些工具,一个向日葵的踏脚石（虾米意思?）和一本园艺书.
那是三年前的事了.现在我的花园已经繁花似锦,正如我期待的那样.每当我出去照料我的花儿们,我似乎不再像以前那样对孩子们充满思念.好像这些花儿就是我的孩子们,它们就在那儿静静地陪伴着我.
我居住的城市冬天寒冷而漫长,夏天却十分短暂.但现在每当冬天降临,我都会透过窗户眺望并遥想着来年春天小小花园中的大好春光.每当回想起孩子们为我做的一切,我都热泪盈眶.我仍然不确定世上是否会有摇钱树,但我知道,爱,会开出一树繁花.
