龙应台在《目送》中说：所谓母女母子一场，只不过意味着，你和他的缘分就是今生今世不断地在目送他的背影渐行渐远。你站在小路的这一端，看着他逐渐消失在小路转弯的地方，而且，他用背影告诉你：不必追。
谨以此书献给所有曾经想要逃离的儿女，以及学会温柔放手的父母。

Once there was a little bunny who wanted to run away.
So he said to his mother, "I am running away."
"If you run away," said his mother, "I will run after you.For you are my little bunny."
“如果你逃走的话，我就去追你。”他的妈妈说，“因为你是我的小宝贝呀。”
"If you run after me," said the little bunny,
"I will become a fish in a trout stream
and I will swim away from you."
"If you become a fish in a trout stream," said his mother,
"I will become a fisherman and I will fish for you."
"If you become a fisherman," said the little bunny,
"I will become a rock on the mountain, high above you."
"If you become a rock on the mountain high above me,"
said his mother, "I will be a mountain climber,
and I will climb to where you are."
"If you become a mountain climber,"
"I will be a crocus in a hidden garden."
"If you become a crocus in a hidden garden,"
said his mother, "I will be a gardener. And I will find you."
他的妈妈说，“我会变成一个园丁，我还是会找到你的。”
"If you are a gardener and find me,"
said the little bunny, "I will be a bird
"If you become a bird and fly away from me,"
said his mother, "I will be a tree that you come home to."
"If you become a tree," said the little bunny,
"I will become a little sailboat,
and I will sail away from you."
"If you become a sailboat and sail away from me,"
said his mother, "I will become the wind
and blow you where I want you to go."
"If you become the wind and blow me," said the little bunny,
"I will join a circus and fly away on a flying trapeze."
"If you go flying on a flying trapeze," said his mother,
"I will be a tightrope walker,
and I will walk across the air to you."
"If you become a tightrope walker and walk across the air,"
said the bunny, "I will become a little boy
"If you become a little boy and run into a house,"
said the mother bunny, "I will become your mother
and catch you in my arms and hug you."
"Shucks," said the bunny, "I might just as well
stay where I am and be your little bunny."
"Have a carrot," said the mother bunny.
