原文：

吾家旧有鸣机夜课之图，传自先祖。每至夜深人静时，庭中月色如水，母手持书卷，坐于灯下，教我诵读诗文。其声清朗，如珠玉相击；其意深远，令人回味无穷。

吾尝问母：“夜深如此，何不早休？”母笑答曰：“读书贵在坚持，岂可因一时困倦而废学哉？且汝年少，精力正盛，更应趁此时光多读圣贤书。”

忆昔之时，母常伴我至深夜，直至东方既白。虽累而不辍，此情此景，至今犹历历在目。母之教诲，犹如明灯，照亮吾前行之路。

译文：

In my family, there has been an old picture of "The Night Study under the Bell" passed down from our ancestors. Every night when it was quiet and the moonlight filled the courtyard, my mother would hold a book and sit by the lamp, teaching me to recite poetry and literature. Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of jade hitting each other; her words were profound, leaving a lasting impression.

I once asked my mother: "It's so late at night, why don't you rest early?" Mother smiled and replied: "Learning is precious in persistence. How can one stop studying just because they feel tired for a moment? Moreover, you are young, full of energy, and should take advantage of this time to read more books of sages."

I remember that my mother often stayed up with me until dawn. Although she was tired, she never gave up. This scene still vividly remains in my memory. My mother's teachings were like a bright lamp, lighting up my path forward.
