前几天,雪莉回了趟家,在妈妈得知了口红的价格后,两人几乎吵了整整一天。
Her mother thought that it was completely immoral to spend money like this, while Sherry thought her mother was totally beyond reasoning.
妈妈觉得她这样花钱简直就是十恶不赦,而她却觉得妈妈完全不可理喻。
What Sherry didn't know was that this woman standing in front of her had once been a little girl who had grown up in poverty and starvation.
雪莉不知道的是,这位站在她面前的女人,曾经是个在贫穷与饥饿中长大的小女孩。
That little girl could not find enough clothes to wear in winter. And those little desserts you see through the shopwindows were something from another world for her.
这个小女孩在冬天没有足够的衣服可以穿,而商店橱窗里的点心则是另一个世界的东西。
That girl needed to learn how to spend every penny as if it were two so that she could survive.
对于这个女孩来讲,一块钱需要当成两块来花,这样才能活下去。
It's just natural that two people can't understand each other, even for mother and daughter, because everybody's experience is different.
在这个世界上,没有哪两个人天生就能和睦相处,即使她们是母女。因为两个人的经历不可能一样。
Try to be patient to the people around you. Try to get to know them. Try to stand in their shoes.
