Chapter 6
Trevor和他媽媽的關(guān)系很有趣，有時(shí)像貓和老鼠, 有時(shí)像警察和罪犯，她們不斷進(jìn)行斗智斗勇，最有趣的是Trevor七八歲時(shí)和他媽媽一起去超市，他媽媽為了不給他買糖果故意裝不認(rèn)識(shí)他，令他快奔潰，最后教育他。這段感覺特別搞笑。Trevor媽媽不僅幽默搞笑也相當(dāng)機(jī)制，當(dāng)她發(fā)覺“斗法”中自己語(yǔ)速上處于劣勢(shì)時(shí)，開始改變策略，轉(zhuǎn)為書信溝通。
“I chose to have you because I wanted something to love and something that would love me unconditionally.”Trevor 媽媽生他的原因，卻沒想到理想和現(xiàn)實(shí)差很多。
Every child is born the center of his own universe.
每個(gè)孩子都有屬于自己的世界，是獨(dú)立的個(gè)體，作為父母要學(xué)會(huì)先做好一個(gè)引路人然后讓自己放手。
My relationship with my mom was like the relationship between a cop and a criminal in the movie-the relentless detective and devious mastermind she’s determined to catch.（好句）
It’s better to take it, spend some time crying, then wake up the next day and move on. You’ll have a few bruises and they’ll remind you of what happened and that’s okay.
所有的經(jīng)歷無(wú)論好壞都是人生的一部分，唯有接納它，并勇敢面對(duì)。
Chapter 7 Fufi
Fufi is Trevor’s first dog. The experience with Fufi shapes what he’ve felt about relationships for the rest of his life: You do not own the thing that you love.
Fufi的“背叛”讓Trevor很難過，也讓他成長(zhǎng)。
Chapter 8 Robert
My mom was wild and impulsive. My father was reserved and rational. She was fire, he was ice. They were opposites that attracted, and I am a mix of them both.（好句：Trevor爸媽的性格冰與火）
好句：My father was pushing seventy by that point.
他的父親是個(gè)神秘的人，他對(duì)父親的了解很少，大概知道他是個(gè)反種族歧視的瑞士人，曾擁有家餐廳，在幼年時(shí)和父親一起生活過一段時(shí)間，在他13歲那年，他的父親搬離其他地方，他們也失去了聯(lián)系。直到24歲這年母親讓他去找他的父親，因?yàn)樗撬牟糠郑哪赣H是智慧的，這樣他今后就不會(huì)因?yàn)檫@件事而有遺憾，不會(huì)不知道自己父親到底怎樣、在哪里、是否活著。當(dāng)他找到父親時(shí)，才知道父親其實(shí)一直在默默關(guān)注著他，Trevor用質(zhì)問的方式想解開對(duì)父親的疑惑，從他父親的回答可以看出他是個(gè)很有個(gè)性的人， 他要求Trevor自己和他呆幾天了解了。
我想Robert的性格除了后天母親對(duì)他的言傳身教，還有來(lái)自父親個(gè)性基因的遺傳。
Chapter 9 The Mulberry Tree： Trevor的‘’繼父Abel，一個(gè)酗酒、殘暴的人。
We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.——chapter 11
The first thing I learned about having money was that it gives you choices. People don’t want to be rich. They want to be able to choose. The richer you are, the more choices you have. That is the freedom of money.——chapter 15
People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.”——chapter 15
My whole life, telling me stories about growing up in the homelands, being abandoned by her parents, she had always said, “You cannot blame anyone else for what you do. You cannot blame your past for who you are. You are responsible for you. You make your own choices.”——chapter 18
