It hurts to be downsized.[/size][/font][/p][p=30, 2, left][font=宋体][size=9.5pt]我花了几十年才成了女主人（媳妇熬成婆）；终于有名分了，要挑战我的权威真是伤心。[/size][/font][font="][size=9.5pt][/size][/font][/p][p=30, 2, left][font="][size=9.5pt]2.
[/size][/font][font="][size=9.5pt]I know he's your husband now,[/size][/font][font="][size=9.5pt] [b]but he's still my son.[/b][/size][/font][font="][size=9.5pt][/size][/font][/p][p=30, 2, left][font=宋体][size=9.5pt]我知道他现在是你的丈夫了，但他仍然是我的儿子。[/size][/font][font="][size=9.5pt][/size][/font][/p][p=30, 2, left][font="][size=9.5pt]3.
