1. When I was a child, I was too weak to play with savage children.

Appreciation: Barbarism is not derogatory. Barbarian children mainly refer to those children who are strong, dare to be naughty and can take risks in the game.

As a gentleman, I can't pretend to be a gentleman, nor can I run wild with urchins.

Appreciate: Pretend, the original intention is false, here it should be understood as deliberately pursuing the meaning of being like a gentleman, although he is actually not a gentleman. This is a somewhat derogatory word: use a derogatory word to express the legitimate goal you deliberately pursue with the encouragement of your mother and elders. Wild, like the barbarism mentioned above, refers to playing games and being greedy in the text, as opposed to being steady in behavior and concentrating on reading. This is the language that elders accuse children of being only interested in games and play, which shows that the author was deeply influenced by his elders in his childhood.

The eldest sister-in-law is the most incompetent and ignorant person, and the second sister-in-law is the most capable and narrow-minded person.

Appreciation: Being sensible here means being reasonable, distinguishing right from wrong and not demanding; Not sensible. Nature is not to distinguish right from wrong, but to insist. Narrow-minded, here refers to narrow-minded and difficult to tolerate others. One is unreasonable, the other is narrow-minded, and naturally gets angry easily. This paper introduces the temperament of two sisters-in-law, and then writes about the mother's tolerance for them, which is to set off the mother's kind and gentle character with profile description.

I have been alone in this vast sea of people for more than 20 years, and no one has ever taken care of me.

Appreciation: Mix and match shows the author's modest attitude and how deeply my mother taught me.

6. If I learn a little good temper, if I learn a little kindness to others, if I can forgive and understand, I will thank my loving mother.

Appreciate: If it means hypothetically. This sentence is what the author is saying. His excellent moral character in dealing with others comes from the lessons and influence of his loving mother. Use if to assume that you only have those virtues. Tracing back to the source, it's all because of my mother. This assumption not only shows the author's modesty, but also does not hinder the expression of respect and gratitude to his mother.
