夏日香氣

「私はね、十代半ばにはね、自分は今が花だって、分かってた。褒められても全く嬉しくなかった。だって、若くて、見た目は、花のように咲いて、他の人から称賛されたって、自分は、何の努力もしたわけじゃなかったわ。でもね、実はね、あのころ、自分のことには、かなり不満があったの。
その頃、家にいても、私はまるで家具みたいだなあと、感じてた。
親たちにとって、こういう私は本当に難しい子だったと思うわ。」

My Granny ( part I)

"At the age of 15 or 16, I was not very pleased by others' praises at all, so to speak, being a teenager, blooming in the right time at the right place, if that was the very reason to be paid attention to.
If it was just due to my youth, whatever I do, did or have done, not to mention that I didn't do anything worth to be complimented, why should I feel honored?
To tell the truth, I was quite upset and annoyed by myself, too.
I still remember that my family treated me like I was an article of furniture in the room.
Being my parents, they have tried their best to "teach" me, since they hadn't expected my stubbonness was that unchangeable."

「說到我啊~ 我在15,6歲的時候啊~ 就知道自己只是因為正值年輕貌美才被大家誇獎, 這真的讓我高興不起來。
完全不是因為自己有多厲害, 只因為年輕, 外表怎麼看都好看, 如花似玉, 就被大家稱讚, 但其實我哪有那麼厲害啊~
說老實話, 當時我自己也對自己相當的不滿啊~
那時, 就算待在家裡, 我也和家具差不多。當我的父母親真的太辛苦了, 生出這樣難以管教的孩子。」
