有家人的地方才是家，那里有每个游子的牵挂，无论它是多么的简陋，却没有任何豪宅比得上它。对一个离乡背井的游子，家能赐给心灵的平静和寄托。

nthe birds singing gaily, that came at my call--- 一呼即来的鸟儿正在欢唱
n
ngive me them, -- and the peace of mind, dearer than all! 赐给牠们－还有心灵的平静，这些胜过一切！
n
nhome! home! sweet, sweet home!家啊！家啊！甜蜜的家啊！
n
nthere’s no place like home! there’s no place like home!没有地方比得上家！没有地方比得上家！
