Bore a crime-C 6-18

Chapter 6

Trevor和他妈妈的关系很有趣，有时像猫和老鼠, 有时像警察和罪犯，她们不断进行斗智斗勇，最有趣的是Trevor七八岁时和他妈妈一起去超市，他妈妈为了不给他买糖果故意装不认识他，令他快奔溃，最后教育他。这段感觉特别搞笑。Trevor妈妈不仅幽默搞笑也相当机制，当她发觉“斗法”中自己语速上处于劣势时，开始改变策略，转为书信沟通。

“I chose to have you because I wanted something to love and something that would love me unconditionally.”Trevor 妈妈生他的原因，却没想到理想和现实差很多。

Every child is born the center of his own universe.

每个孩子都有属于自己的世界，是独立的个体，作为父母要学会先做好一个引路人然后让自己放手。

My relationship with my mom was like the relationship between a cop and a criminal in the movie-the relentless detective and devious mastermind she’s determined to catch.（好句）

It’s better to take it, spend some time crying, then wake up the next day and move on. You’ll have a few bruises and they’ll remind you of what happened and that’s okay.

所有的经历无论好坏都是人生的一部分，唯有接纳它，并勇敢面对。

Chapter 7 Fufi

Fufi is Trevor’s first dog. The experience with Fufi shapes what he’ve felt about relationships for the rest of his life: You do not own the thing that you love.

Fufi的“背叛”让Trevor很难过，也让他成长。

Chapter 8 Robert

My mom was wild and impulsive. My father was reserved and rational. She was fire, he was ice. They were opposites that attracted, and I am a mix of them both.（好句：Trevor爸妈的性格冰与火）

好句：My father was pushing seventy by that point.

他的父亲是个神秘的人，他对父亲的了解很少，大概知道他是个反种族歧视的瑞士人，曾拥有家餐厅，在幼年时和父亲一起生活过一段时间，在他13岁那年，他的父亲搬离其他地方，他们也失去了联系。直到24岁这年母亲让他去找他的父亲，因为他是他生命的部分，他的母亲是智慧的，这样他今后就不会因为这件事而有遗憾，不会不知道自己父亲到底怎样、在哪里、是否活着。当他找到父亲时，才知道父亲其实一直在默默关注着他，Trevor用质问的方式想解开对父亲的疑惑，从他父亲的回答可以看出他是个很有个性的人， 他要求Trevor自己和他呆几天了解了。

我想Robert的性格除了后天母亲对他的言传身教，还有来自父亲个性基因的遗传。

Chapter 9 The Mulberry Tree： Trevor的‘’继父Abel，一个酗酒、残暴的人。

We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.——chapter 11

The first thing I learned about having money was that it gives you choices. People don’t want to be rich. They want to be able to choose. The richer you are, the more choices you have. That is the freedom of money.——chapter 15

People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.”——chapter 15

My whole life, telling me stories about growing up in the homelands, being abandoned by her parents, she had always said, “You cannot blame anyone else for what you do. You cannot blame your past for who you are. You are responsible for you. You make your own choices.”——chapter 18
