Yoon: What’s the matter? Are you okay?
尹：發生什么事情了？你還好嗎？
Kelly: You know that my mother’s funeral was last weekend. I brought some of her papers home with me to sort through and I’ve had a shock.
凱利：你知道，上周是我母親的葬禮。我把她的一些遺言帶回家整理的時候被嚇了一跳。
Yoon: What? An old family secret? Some skeleton in the closet?
尹：怎么了？有什么古老的家族秘密嗎？家丑不可外揚？
Kelly: It was for my mother. While reading some of her letters, I found out that she had a son out of wedlock when she was young and she gave the baby up for adoption.
凱利：是關于我母親的。閱讀這些信的時候，我發現母親未婚時曾生下了一個兒子，她把孩子送給別人收養。
Yoon: Wow, that’s a bombshell!
尹：哇哦，這可真是一個重磅炸彈！
Kelly: Yeah, I feel like I’ve been sucker punched. This is life- changing.
凱利：是呀，我覺得就像是五雷轟頂一般。人生如戲啊。
Yoon: Maybe you can ask your aunts and uncles about it.
尹：也許你可以問問你的姑媽或者叔叔。
Kelly: But what if my mother didn’t disclose this to me for a reason? I don’t want to air her dirty laundry now that she’s gone.
凱利：但是如果母親她有不得以的苦衷呢？我不想讓已經離世的親人蒙塵。
Yoon: You wouldn’t be airing dirty laundry. A part of your family history has come to light and you have questions. That’s natural. And plus, you’re keeping it in the family.
尹：你這樣做并不會讓母親蒙塵。家族的秘密已經初顯端倪，而且你十分好奇。這是很平常的事情。再說了，這只是家族內部的事情。
Kelly: But maybe they’ll feel like I’m dredging up something they wish had been forgotten.
凱利：也許他們不想我去追憶一些本該忘卻的事情。
Yoon: Or maybe they’ve been waiting for a chance to talk about it. You haven’t mentioned the most shocking part.
尹：或者他們只是在等待一個適合的機會坦露這件事。你還沒有說最讓你震驚的事情呢？
Kelly: What’s that?
凱利：是什么事情？
Yoon: You may have a half-brother somewhere out there.
尹：你可能有一位同母異父的哥哥。
Kelly: Oh my God, you’re right. That possibility is both thrilling and terrifying!
凱利：哦，天呢，對啊。這件事才是既驚人又可怕的！
