Translatedby Spring学英语

1.
I spent a couple of decades being the leading lady; now I have a character role. It hurts to be downsized.

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。

2.
I know he's your husband now, but he's still my son.

我知道他现在是你的丈夫了,但他仍然是我的儿子。

3.
You don't seemvery confident about yourself. The littlest comment from me is taken as a criticism, soI'm very careful what I say around you.

似乎你对自己并不太自信哦。
我对你的芝麻绿豆大的评价都会被你当成批评,所以我会很小心我对你的言论。

4.
Every year, I send you a birthdaypresent, but you never even pick up thephone to thank me. This year, I said, “That's it. No more.” Yet look at me:I'm about to send another present. I guess that's how I am.

每年我都寄给你一份生日礼物,可你从来也没有打电话过来道声谢。今年,我说:“那就这样吧,以后别想得到我的生日礼物了”。但只要你看我一眼你就会知道,我正打算寄给你新的礼物,我就是这样的人。(婆婆也是刀子嘴豆腐心!)

5.
We mothers say to our children, “I want you to be happy.” And we mean that. What we don't say is, “But I would liketo be happy too.”

为人母者常对孩子们说,“我要你开心。”我们是真心实意希望你们开心。我们没有说的是,“但是我也希望自己能很开心”。

6.
I've bought and sold 13 houses in mylife. Why won't you ask for myadvice?

我一生中已经购进卖出13处房产了。你购房时为什么不能问问的建议呢?(婆婆过的桥比你走的路还多!)

7.
When I visityou,
I'm not coming for a white-glove inspection. I'm justcoming to see the family.

我来你们家的时候,并不是戴着白手套过来抹灰检查的。我只是过来看看你们。

8.
When I really want to talk to my sonprivately, I don't call your house. I call his cell phone.

当我真心想单独和我儿子说话时,我不会打你们家的座机。我会打他的手机。

9.
I'm so happy that you allow my son-your husband-to visit me on Mother's Day. It's a long trip and a big expense. I'm trulyappreciative.

我很高兴你允许你的丈夫也就是我的儿子在母亲节的时候来看望我。耗时伤财的,我真的很感激。

10.
My dirty littlesecret:
I'm afraid that if I don't get this right, you'll cut meoff.

我有一个邪恶的小秘密:我担心如果我没能做得很好的话,你会撕了我。

11.
I'm incompetition with your mother.
She takes you on vacations every year and buys things Ican't afford. All I can do is love you and babysit for you. I hope that'senough and that it's appreciated.

我一直在和你母亲较劲。她每年带你出去旅游,给你买的东西也远远超出我的经济承担能力。我所能做的只有爱你,给你带孩子。我希望这些能让你满意也能让你感激。

12.
Whenever I stay at your house, you always have my room ready, my towels, everything. You do all the right things. I'mlucky to have you!

每次我住在你家的时候,你总把我的房间准备好,包括毛巾在内的所有物品。你做得很对。能有你这样的媳妇是我的荣幸。
