只有一只眼睛的母亲[/size][/p][p=23, 2, left][size=4]
[/size][/p][p=23, 2, left][size=4]My mother had only one eye. When I was growing up, I hated her for it. I hated the uninvited attention it got me at school. I hated how the other children stared at her and looked away in disgust. My mother worked two jobs to provide for the family, but I was just embarrassed by her and didn't want to be seen with her.[/size][/p][p=23, 2, left][size=4]
我妈妈只有一只眼睛。在我成长的过程中，我非常讨厌这样的她。我讨厌在学校受到的不请自来的关注的眼神。我讨厌别的孩子盯着她然后厌恶地转过头去。为了支撑这个家，我妈妈要做两份工作，但我却只觉得她令我很尴尬，不想被看到和她在一起。[/size][/p][p=23, 2, left][size=4]

I didn't even think about my mother anymore.[/size][/p][p=23, 2, left][size=4]
