Sample Sentences

你说的我都知道，总之一甩手交钱了事呗！但是你良心上过得去吗？一问你家老人呢，你说搁敬老院里了，别人还不认为你是不孝子！我们最起码要尽孝道，尽量让妈晚年好好享享清福，有困难可以克服嘛！

I know what you're saying-- basically, pay some money and wash your hands of it! But would your conscience let you do that? As soon as someone asks about your parents, and you tell them you've stuck them in a nursing home, won't other people think you're a bad son! The least we can do is try our best to be good children, and do our best to allow our mom to enjoy a care-free life in her later years. Whatever difficulties we have, we can overcome them!
