My dear daughter: You are a wonderful person and your mother and I think the world of you. It will not be long before you leave home to make your way in the world. Can I please give you some friendly advice? Here are some things that you should never do.
亲爱的女儿:Dear daughter,你是了不起的人,我和妈妈非常爱你。你离开家走上社会的日子不远了。我可以给你一些善意的建议吗?这是几个你绝不能做的事情。
1. Never Get Obsessed with your Appearance.
1. 绝不要为自己的外貌而烦恼。
We think you look great (though some of the outfits you wear worry us!). Please be happy with the person you are and the body you have. Eat sensibly, take exercise and be healthy. Some girls become obsessed with losing weight or getting the perfect shape. You look fine.
我们认为你长得很美(尽管你穿的某些时装令我们担忧!)。你就是你,不要为自己的外貌烦恼。要合理膳食,多做运动,保持健康。有些女孩子为减肥或塑造完美的身材而烦恼。但你已经很好了。
2. Never Get Involved with a Married Man.
2. 绝不要和已婚男人纠缠不清。
