Yoon: What’s the matter? Are you okay?
尹：发生什么事情了？你还好吗？
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.
凯利：你知道，上周是我母亲的葬礼。我把她的一些遗言带回家整理的时候被吓了一跳。
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吗？家丑不可外扬？
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.
凯利：是关于我母亲的。阅读这些信的时候，我发现母亲未婚时曾生下了一个儿子，她把孩子送给别人收养。
Yoon: Wow, that’s a bombshell!
尹：哇哦，这可真是一个重磅炸弹！
Kelly: Yeah, I feel like I’ve been sucker punched. This is life- changing.
凯利：是呀，我觉得就像是五雷轰顶一般。人生如戏啊。
Yoon: Maybe you can ask your aunts and uncles about it.
尹：也许你可以问问你的姑妈或者叔叔。
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.
凯利：但是如果母亲她有不得以的苦衷呢？我不想让已经离世的亲人蒙尘。
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：你这样做并不会让母亲蒙尘。家族的秘密已经初显端倪，而且你十分好奇。这是很平常的事情。再说了，这只是家族内部的事情。
Kelly: But maybe they’ll feel like I’m dredging up something they wish had been forgotten.
凯利：也许他们不想我去追忆一些本该忘却的事情。
Yoon: Or maybe they’ve been waiting for a chance to talk about it. You haven’t mentioned the most shocking part.
尹：或者他们只是在等待一个适合的机会坦露这件事。你还没有说最让你震惊的事情呢？
Kelly: What’s that?
凯利：是什么事情？
Yoon: You may have a half-brother somewhere out there.
尹：你可能有一位同母异父的哥哥。
Kelly: Oh my God, you’re right. That possibility is both thrilling and terrifying!
凯利：哦，天呢，对啊。这件事才是既惊人又可怕的！
