My father used to talk to me about his five siblings. He used to say that I was unfortunate that I had none. And I used to envy him and wonder how nice it would be to have a houseful of brothers and sisters. I also used to wonder what would happen to me if I were to lose my parents. Frankly speaking, I do not have to share anything with anybody. I own all my parents' love. I can ask for anything I want. I always wear new clothes and eat the best food. Since my parents spend all their money on me, I can study at the best university of the country.
Lucky as I am, I now and then feel very lonely and I have nobody to complain about my loneliness. How I long for a quarrel with my brothers and sisters! Of course I have classmates and friends, but they are different. Sometimes I feel so pessimistic that after my parents leave the world, I will have no blood relatives left to share with me the fond memories of my parents. Furthermore, I am likely to become selfish while I realize the world is for sharing.
So, I am happy but lonely; I am fortunate but piteous; I am loved but spoiled; I am well-bred but selfish, because I am the only child of the family.
我父亲曾经和我谈他的五个兄弟姐妹。他常说,我是不幸的,我没有。我曾经嫉妒他,不知道会有多好满屋的兄弟姐妹。我也不知道将会发生什么如果我失去了我的父母。坦白地说,我没有与任何人分享任何东西。我拥有我所有的父母的爱。我可以问任何我想要的。我总是穿新衣服,吃最好的食物。因为父母把他们所有的钱都花在我,我可以在全国最好的大学学习。
幸运的我,我现在感到很孤独,没有人抱怨我孤独。我多么渴望一个争吵与我的兄弟姐妹!当然我有同学和朋友,但他们是不同的。有时我觉得很悲观,我父母离开这个世界后,我将没有血亲留下来与我分享美好的回忆我的父母。此外,我可能变得自私,我意识到世界是分享。
所以,我很高兴但孤独;我很幸运但哀怨的;我爱但变质;我有教养的,但自私,因为我是家里的唯一的孩子。
