<正>"我"的母亲来自一个传统、保守的家庭,因而她很少做疯狂的事情。但是,接下来她的改变让"我"和"我"哥哥大吃一惊。My mother looks just like many grandmothers. She is short, fat, and white-haired. She comes from a traditional family. She didn’t do crazy stuff.That all changed a few years ago. She began to surprise my older brother and me with her "independence". In early 2015, the year she turned 75, she informed us she’d booked a seven-night trip to Turkey alone. There was no way my brother and I could allow that.
