I Don't Understand
秀娟怎么也没有想到自己的孩子会被一个白人骗走
I don't understand Canada is a lawful country and why a Chinese kid can be taken away by a white con-artist.
大郭在多大的实验室做了四年的博士后
I don't understand why a post-doc can't find a full time job in a local college, in a lab, or a smaller university else where in Canada, USA, Asia and Africa.
可是养孩子呢,不说孩子的吃用,光是请个保姆就要花去近千元一月。
I don't understand why so many Canadians earning a minimum wage have kids one after another. Those educated tends to apply cost and benefit analysis before having any kids.
秀娟的爸妈虽然也只是一般工厂工人,可是好歹是城里人,有单位分房,有医疗,养老保险,所以,当时看到唯一的女儿这般的执迷不悟除了暴跳如雷,发誓断绝关系也没有其它的方法。
I don't understand why in 2007, we are having the same mindset and using the same language of 1911.
觉得就这么一个女儿还要被这个农民的儿子带走
I don't know why the "class" difference has become the theme of this essay. China and India are real twin brothers.
面试是在圣诞前夕
I don't understand why the author wrote a fiction to reflect life of Chinese immigrants in Canada, without any knowledge of Canada. Who would do an interview on Christmas eve?
岂不知在加拿大overqualified 和underqualified没有什么大的区别,说到底就是没戏
I don't understand the meaning of overqualified. Human Resources may tell you "you are not a good fit to the position". You may have a PhD in English Literature, but you are not qualified for a caretaking position. The key is good fit, not over or under qualification.
秀娟捧着电话号啕大哭,电话那头的香港律师可没有这种耐心,他的小时费是120刀,可没有空听一个大陆女人在这里干嚎。林小姐,你不要冲动,如果现在带孩子离境,你就是挟制未成年加拿大公民,那时候我可保不住你了,就这样,你赶紧给人家打个电话,有情况我和你联络,嘟嘟嘟嘟…
I don't understand what the author means. To expose how legally ignorant 秀娟 is?
生怕大郭哪里受伤什么的,一个手无缚鸡之力的书呆子怎么扛得了50磅一包的纸箱子
I don't understand why 大郭 was doing a job he was not a good fit to such a position. |
