Question

请问下面这句话如何翻译？谢谢！

It was these memories that had absorbed my mind as I tried to do as Dad said and “give a piece of myself.” They were also what made me cry. They reminded me of what would never be again. Mom would be able to feel and hold a frog, but she wouldn't see Isaiah's comical antics. She'd be able to smell a rose, but she'd never see the beautiful blooms that she loved. She'd be able to hear the rain, but she'd never see the rainbow to follow.
谢绝机器翻译，请谅解。

Answer 1

当我试着按照父亲所说的和为了全身心去做时，我的脑海中只剩下这些记忆的片段，也是能让我流泪的回忆。它们使我想起那些再也不可能重复的往事。母亲应该可以感觉到并且可以朦胧的看到，但她却看不了以赛亚的滑稽表演. 她可以闻到玫瑰,但她却看不到她所钟爱的的美丽的花朵。她可以听到雨在下，却看不到随之而来的彩虹。

这篇文章选自<<Mother's eyes>>,写的不错,很感人!

当努力按照父亲说全身心去做时,是这样的一些记忆吞噬了我的心灵:这些记忆会让我流泪.它们让我意识到那一切已成(遥远的)过去.母亲可以捻着饰扣,去感知它,但是却无法看到艾赛亚夸张滑稽的动作;可以嗅到玫瑰的芳香,但再也看不到她曾经深爱的那些盛放的花朵了;可以听到雨滴的滴答,但再也看不到雨后的彩虹了!

顺便说一下:

give a piece of oneself:
全身心去感知;十分投入地去做.....
