鉴于你底子好,起点高,对你就要比对二姐苛刻一些!以后請以同一态度对待俺的E文写作!

I went through your recording ×2 looking for something to pick at~ and willfully being picky on some ambiguous spots, like "strength", "fullfilled". Hope you can pay me back blow for blow~ ^v^

The Mother’s Prayer for its Daughter

First, Lord: No tattoos. May neither the Chinese symbol for truth nor Winnie-

the-Pooh holding the FSU logo stain her tender haunches. May she be beautiful

but not damaged, for it’s the damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s

eye, not the beauty. When the crystal meth is offered, may she remember the

parents who cut her grapes in half, and stick with beer.

Lead her away from acting, but not all the way to finance - something where

she can make her own hours but still feel intellectually fulfilled(再短点儿,看看webster字典,这个u的发音:) and get outside

sometimes and not have to wear high heels. What would that be, Lord?

Architecture, midwifery, golf course design? I’m asking you because if I knew,

I’d be doing it, youdammit.

May she play the drums to the fiery rhythm of her own hearts with the sinewy

strength (听了好几遍这里,想了想,还是标出来吧,怎么听都像 stringth) of her own arms, so she need not lie with drummers. Oh Lord, break

the Internet forever, that she may be spared the misspelled invective of her

peers and the online marketing campaign for “Rape Hostel V: Girls Just Wanna

Get Stabbed.”

And when she one day turns on me and calls me a ***** in front of Hollister,

give me strength, Lord, to yank her directly into a cab in front of her friends,

for I will not have that nonsense. I will not have it.
