生命苦短，我們都在不斷老去。現在正是時候與父母敞開心扉，來一場意味深長的談話。你不時聽到別人說，自己有多么后悔沒有在父母在世的時候與他們多說說話。現在你有這個機會，一定不能留下遺憾。

We spend so much of our lives with our parents and yet most of it is devoted to routine and commonplace things.

我們大多數時間都與父母生活在一起，但是這些時間常被瑣事虛度掉了。

Time is short and unfortunately we are all getting older. There may never be a better time than now to have a meaningful conversation with your parent or parents.

生命苦短，我們都在不斷老去。現在正是時候與父母敞開心扉，來一場意味深長的談話。

You sometimes hear people say that they regret missed opportunities while their parents were alive and that there were things they wish they had spoken about. Make sure that you seize the chance while you can.

你不時聽到別人說，自己有多么后悔沒有在父母在世的時候與他們多說說話。現在你有這個機會，一定不能留下遺憾。

Family history

家族史

1. Can you tell me a story about your parents or grandparents?

跟我說說你們的父母或者祖父母的故事吧?

Family history is much more than a family tree and a photo album. It is also a collection of stories which become your family folklore. Be sure to have some stories about your ancestors that you can pass on to your descendants.

家族史不僅僅是一張族譜和一本家庭相冊那么簡單。它還包括家族中發生的各種奇聞異事。知道一點關于你家祖先的故事，以后也可以講給你的后人聽。

Their childhood

父母小時候

2. Can you tell me a story about when you were a child?

說說你們小時候的故事吧?

Stories about their adventures, hopes, fears and relationships with friends and parents can be fascinating and revealing. Why not record them on video?

父母們的那些冒險、希望、害怕，還有和朋友們在一起的小故事往往都很有趣，而且發人深省。為什么不把這些小故事用攝像機錄下來呢?

The old time

自己小時候

3. Can you tell me a story about me as a child?

說一個關于我小時候的故事吧?

Your parents will remember funny or embarrassing things about you as a little child. These will be handy when one day your child asks you question 2 above.

父母們對于你小時候的那些淘氣事、丟人的事都會記得很牢。問問父母這些故事，當你老的時候，你的孩子問你小時候的故事時，你就知道怎么回答了。

Life philosophy

人生道理

4. What is the one piece of advice you would like to share with me?

你們有什么人生道理要與我分享的嗎?

Your parents have a lifetime of experience and there are still things that you can learn from them. They may share something philosophical, funny or silly. Whatever it is it can pass into the family sayings and mythology.

父母們人生經驗豐富，你可以從他們身上學到很多東西。他們會跟你說一些充滿哲理的話，也會告訴你那些逗趣的事或者傻事，不管是什么，這些人生道理都將成為家訓和家庭傳奇。
