God bless me
Day after day, how the years have past ! My classmates child bought me soy sauce. I am still alone. My parents see me, when I go back home alone each time. They were so worried about me, because, one by one, my classmates have married.. Some are younger than me but also have partners.
Why is spring so far away from me? I don't know what to do, but I don't give up.
Notes: Sanny I am assuming that this is a translation of a Chinese story into English.
English has a sentence structure of subject - verb - object. I think that Chinese is more Object - verb (In my simple understanding of a complex language).
So I applied this idea and then had some thoughts about what would be usual in English.
I didn't think peers was a correct choice so I substituted classmates, the people that you went to school with. And I thought also that this was an internal thought so I 'don't give me up.' to 'I don't give up' which shows your inner strength.
My old English teachers disliked the word 'got' so I have removed that as well.
What do you think ? Have I gone seriously off track ?
God bless me
