They were like love-birds and spent as much time together as they could. They both had one child each, she a son, he a daughter.They had the same birthday although her son was a couple of years older. She had a housethat her father built for her when she got married to her first husband. She was content there.
他们俩如同一对恩爱夫妻一般,尽可能多地在一起共度时光。他们各自都有一个孩子,她有个儿子,而他有个女儿。她有栋房子,是她父亲在她和第一任丈夫结婚时为她建的。她在里面住得很满意。
The other fly in the ointment was that they were both very busy people. They both still worked! They were in their middle eighties and both had their own family businesses. She worked for her son who took over the family business and he had his own business.
另一处美中不足的是,他们俩都是非常忙碌的人。他们俩都仍然在工作!他们都已80多岁,都还有各自的家族生意。她为已经接管了家族生意的儿子工作,而他有自己的公司。
The clash in their relationship came when they neither wanted to leave their respective churches. She went to her Baptist church that she had attended for many years and he went to his which was a Pentacostal. They decided to remain friends but nothing more. He was broken hearted, but felt that his religion was the only way. She didn't want to leave her church and didn't like the extreme of his.
他们都不愿意脱离各自的教会,这使得他们的关系出现了冲突。她去的是已经加入多年的浸礼会,而他去的是五旬节派教会。他们决定只做朋友,别无他求。对此,伯父伤心不已,不过他感到自己的信仰是唯一的抚慰方式。而她不想离开自己所在的教会,也不喜欢他的教会那么偏激。
