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。”
