69. A Girl's Problem 一個女孩的煩惱
Like most of my schoolmates, I have neither brothers nor sisters - in other words, I am the only child of my family.
像我的大多數同學一樣,我既沒有兄弟也沒有姐妹,換句話,我是獨生子女。
My parents love me dearly of course and do all they can to make sure that I can get a good education and happy life. They don't want me to do any housework at home; they only want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I'll get good marks in all my subjects. We are one family and live under the same roof, but we do not seem to get much time to talk together.
父母當然很愛我,盡他們所能讓我受良好的教育和幸福的生活。在家里他們不讓我做任何家務,而讓我把時間都用于學習,希望我所有的科目都拿到好成績。我們是一家人,生活在同一屋檐下,可是我們很少有時間交流談話。
It looks as if my parents treat me as a visitor or a guest. Do they really understand their own daughter? I wonder how things are in other homes.
看上去似乎父母對我像對訪問者或者客人一樣。他們真正了解他們的女兒嗎?我很想知道別的家庭是怎樣的。
