"You really mean it? Then I can rest assured. It''s rare for someone with your background to have such a temperament. As a woman, I know what happened to you, and I sympathize with you, but as a mother, you should know a parent''s love for their children leads them to make long-term plans for them. I hope you can understand me, a mother who loves her son deeply."
“你…果真?那我就放心了,你这样的身份能有你这样的气度也是少见。作为女子,你的遭遇我知道也很同情你,但是作为一个母亲,你该知道父母之爱子,则为之计深远。我希望你能理解我,我只是一个深爱自己儿子的母亲。”

他是相国公子而我是歌伎坊的一个歌伎。
The road ahead requires me to walk alone with strength, step by step, unwaveringly, because I cannot give up. It is equal to committing suicide if I stop going forward. How could someone like me commit suicide?
前面的路还需要我自己一个人慢慢的走,坚强的走,一步一步向前走,坚定不移,因为我不能放弃,放弃向前面行走,于我来说就等同于自杀,我这样的人怎么可能自杀?
Anyone in the world might, but I never will because after living for so many years, I''ve realized that people can be compared in terms of status, background, appearance, wealth, and power.
全天下的人都有可能自杀,但是唯独我不会,因为活了那么多年,我琢磨出来了其实人与人之间,有比身份的,有比背景的,有比容貌的,有比财富的,有比权力的。

但是人与人之间真正的较量是生存能力,谁的生存能力更强?谁才是真正的强者。
