1stParagraphThenarratordescribesherfatherinhereyes.

我并不真正了解父亲，他不是个很容易相处的人。

我觉得他比较以自我为中心,还有一点虚荣,有时候还会让人觉得有距离感。

公众们肯定都认为他很随和,其实在家的时候他基本上都是独处,不怎么跟我们交流的。

2ndParagraphThenarratorcitesanumberofexamplestosupportherstatementthatherfatherisquiteself-centeredandalittlebitvain.

我小的时候父亲很少在家的，因为那时几乎没有什么关于他的记忆。

他对家庭生活一直是有一些生疏。

对他来说，工作总是放在第一位，而且记忆中他总是在外地演戏或是排练。

他喜欢别人找他签名，也喜欢被别人认出的感觉。

他获得过几个奖项，并为此感到骄傲。

记得在他获得大不列颠影帝奖时，我们必须到白金汉宫去领取奖牌。

那真是令人难以置信的无趣。

还有其他数以百计的人拿同样的奖项，所以你得一直坐在那等好几个小时。

每当有人来拜访我们家时，父亲总爱把他的奖项拿出来炫耀。

3rdParagraphThenarratortellsofherschoolexperiencetoshowthatherfatherisnotawareofwhatshereallyneedsandhowshereallyfeels.

我上过公立学校，但是因为缺乏学习兴趣并且总是缺课，被勒令退学了。

最主要的是我一点也不想去那上学，因为这样我就和我的朋友们分开了。

把我送到那个学校读书他一定很高兴，但事实上到最后这一切只是浪费钱而已。

我想我一定让他感到非常失望。

后来我也试着做过几份工作但是都不能安心长久地做下去，然后我意识到我真正想做的是生活在乡村，并且，这也是我现在做的事情。

4thParagraphThenarratorexaminesthedifferentinterestssheandherfatherhaveandtellsofthegapbetweenthem.

作为一家人，无论是情感上还是空间上我们都有距离。

这些日子我们很少见到彼此。

我和父亲的性格大相径庭。

我的兴趣一直都在乡村，而他则喜欢书和音乐，尤其是歌剧，这恰恰是我所讨厌的。

如果他们来看我,他们的衣着也完全不适合在乡村穿—貂皮大衣和漂亮的但不适合在田间走长路的小皮鞋。

14humble:

a.lowinrankorposition,obscure,modest

egTheyaremenofhumblebirth.

Heisveryhumbletowardshissuperiors.

5thParagraphThenarratortellsthedifferentattitudessheandherfatherhavetowardshermarriageandhavinggrandchildren.

父亲对我的婚姻更是完全反对。

他一直希望我和我的丈夫分开。

我想我丈夫出身太卑微了。

而父亲一定是想让我嫁给一个有名望的人，但结果并不能使他如愿。

而且事情往往就是这样。

我们夫妇俩并不打算要孩子，但是我的父亲总是不停地谈论着他想抱孙子。

人总不能仅仅因为自己迫切地想抱孙子就逼着别人要孩子吧。

6thParagraphThenarratortellsthatsheisnotthatinterestedinwhatherfatherisdoing.我看电视时从来不看他。

我对那些没什么兴趣，更何况他通常都不记得告诉我们他什么时候会出现在电视上。
