Introduction about the Author | Text Analysis | Questions after Reading |

13. I had never realized that my mother was desirable, and that a man might desire her, and that her lonely existence in that house was not all that she had the right to demand from life. And I was ashamed of my characteristic filial selfish egoism.

我从来没有意识到我母亲还有女性的魅力，还可能有男人为她倾倒，我也从来没有意识到她有权向生活索取的不只是在这所房子里幽居独处，对于我做儿子的这种典型的利己主义，我深感惭愧。

14. So I decided that I would not intrude my joy on hers until the next morning. We live and learn.

因此，我决定不打扰妈妈的喜悦，第二天早上再告诉她我的喜讯。我们总是活到老，学到老。

intrude: vi. 侵扰，打扰； vt. 挤硬，强加

I hope I am not intruding.
我希望我没有打扰你。

I don’t want intrude my views upon you.
我不想把我的观点强加给你。
