　　【boarder】

　　I’m a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder(寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.

　　The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.

　　Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱) Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.

　　Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds.”

　　That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.

　　The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.

　　Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first.

Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds.”

　　去年四月，莫里斯先生死了。现在，莫里斯太太很孤单，我希望朱迪想要她和他们住在一起。一天，玛格丽特告诉我奶奶要和他们住在一起，她的爸爸妈妈会要回我的房间。这个消息并不吃惊，我和朱迪和接下来的一天我去问她。我说我不想生活在他们的地下室里的任何更长的时间如果是莫里斯太太需要。朱迪似乎惊讶。然后她告诉我没有真正地我走了，因为他们还没有做出任何决定关于她母亲来和他们住在一起。“我自然很担心我妈妈。她身体一直不好。”她悲伤地笑了笑说。“老实说，安得烈和我的母亲没有得到很好。我们等待一下，看看会发生什么。也许妈妈会好自己的生活，也许他们会改变他们的想法。”

　　That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.

　　这是六个月前。在这段时间我听说莫里斯太太有两个疾病，她的健康每况愈下。护理之家是一次提到但莫里斯太太拒绝去那里。所以到现在她仍然独自生活，我仍然生活在地下室。
