母亲教会了我 Things My Mother Taught Me
瓦蕾丽·斯马特/Valerie Smart
When I was a child, my mother taught me to smile and to be polite. She taught me not to talk too loud or laugh too hard, and to always have a breath mint in my pocket. She taught me to brush my hair before I went next door to play, to wear a pretty nightgown to the sleepover, and to wear a flowered dress to the science fair, because that's what“others”thought was appropriate. She also taught me to listen more than I talk, which I have always had trouble doing.
