东京真是大啊,不小心走散的话,找一辈子也无法相见。
Look how big Tokyo is. If we got lost, we'd never find each other again.
唉,我那儿子总跟我的希望背道而驰,第一,没有雄心,不懂得所谓的志在千里,所以前些日子 我对那小子讲这话,那小子却说:东京因为人多,都会拍马屁。
He has a degree. But all doctors have to have degrees. I'm afraid we expect too much of our children. They lack spirit. They lack ambition. I've told that to my son. He said that there are too many people in Tokyo. That it's hard to get ahead.
可是,沼田桑,这是人世间老子们的欲望,欲望是无止境的我想,这种事非得想开点儿不可。
I'm as dissatisfied as you are. But we can't expect too much from our children. Times have changed. We have to face it. That's what I think.
人生,实在是短暂的呀。
Isn't life too short, though?
那木鱼声我实在听不下去,不知道,好象妈妈在这砰砰的木鱼声中将化为乌有。
I can't stand that sound. As I hear it, I feel as if Mother were becoming smaller, bit by bit.
妈妈死了就立刻要东西,我一想到作母亲的心情就非常难过,不是自己亲生的倒是亲切温暖,父母子女之间不该是这样的关系。
Wanting her clothes right after her death. I felt so sorry for poor Mother. Even strangers would have been more considerate.
我像你这么大的时候,也这么想过,不过孩子长大后,渐渐离开父母,到了姐姐那样的年纪,就有和父母不同的,姐姐她自己的生活,我想姐姐决不是出于心术不良才那样,谁都会认为自己的生活才是最重要的。
At your age I thought so too. But children do drift away from their parents. A woman has her own life, apart from her parents, when she becomes Shige's age. So she meant no harm, I'm sure. They have to look after their own lives.
有时候半夜里忽然想起来,如果就这样孤身一人生活下去,将来究竟会怎么样呢?一天一天没什么事地过着,也非常寂寞,我的内心深处还在等待着什么。
Often I wonder, when I can't sleep, what will become of me if I stay this way. Day passes and night comes, yet nothing happens, and I feel a kind of loneliness. My heart seems to be waiting for something.
真奇怪…比起我们自己生养的孩子来,你算是个外人,然而你却比他们更亲切地对待我们。
It's strange. We have children of our own, yet you've done the most for us, and you're not even a blood relative.
一个人过日子,日子也就忽然觉得长了。
Living alone, I feel the days will get very long.
那根本不是什么新婚,没有那样的,今天早晨男的早就起来了,可女的总是在被窝里吸烟,那男人也太宠着她了,我听到他对女人说,这回你可完全是我的了,耳朵、眼睛,还有那张嘴都是我的了,那样的女人谁能知道是谁的呀。
Do you believe they're really newlyweds? This morning she was smoking in bed after he got up. He's an idiot. He said, "You belong to me. Your ears, eyes, mouth - All of you is mine." Who knew what belongs to who?
