1. 婦女們的姊妹淘 A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter.
3. 她 ( 母親 ) 將茶葉攪至杯底，並告誡她到 : 「別忘了妳的姊妹們。當妳年紀再大一點時，她們將會顯得更加重要。無論妳多愛妳的丈夫，無論妳多愛妳的孩子們，妳仍會需要姐妹。請記得一定要不時地和她們出去走走，或和她們一起做些事。」 " Don't forget your Sisters,' she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you may have, you are still going to need Sisters. Remember to go places with them now and then; do things with them.'
