51. Independent Mom 独立的妈妈

Margaret was very close to her mom. They had always been best friends. Margaret was now 25 years old. It was time for her mom to let her go out on her own. "You have to be more independent," said her mom. Margaret didn't want to.

玛格丽特跟她妈妈很亲密，他们一直都是最好的朋友。玛格丽特现在25岁，现在是时候让她自己出去独立生活了。“你得更独立点，”她妈妈说。玛格丽特却不想这样。

"I don't want to leave you all alone," said Margaret. She was scared that her mom would be too lonely. She was usually a very shy woman. She was allergic to fur, so she couldn't even have a pet.
"Don't worry about me," said her mom. "Once you move out, my new boyfriend can move in with me."

“我不想留你独自一人”玛格丽特说，她很怕她妈妈会太孤单。她是一个很害羞的女人，她对毛发过敏，所以她连宠物都不能养。“别担心我”她妈妈说，“一旦你搬出去了，我的新男朋友就能搬进来和我住了。”
