姨妈aunt[英][ɑ:nt] [美][ænt, ɑnt] 中英文故事：外婆的玟瑰花（4） 外公是一个倔强傲慢的农场主。自从外婆在战争时和一个军人好上后，他一个人将3个孩子抚养长大。那时，妈妈才10岁，沃尔舅舅13岁，而姨妈塞尔维亚只有6岁。 外婆的离弃给这个家庭带来了巨大的压力，特别是少了一个无偿劳力。为了解决劳力问题，外公就和邻居交换儿子使用。他们认为这样可以让孩子多干活。 Grandad, a tough cocky farmer, had raised three children single-handedly after Grandma had shot through with a serviceman during the war.
