bNot much, except that my mother-in-law is driving me up the wall.
没什么，只是我婆婆让我气愤。
aWhat's the problem?
怎么啦？
bShe loves to nit-pick and criticizes everything that I do. I can never do anything right when she's around.
她喜欢吹毛求疵，批评我做的每件事情。当她在边上时，我什么事都做不好。
aFor example?
举个例子？
bWell, last week I invited her over to dinner. My husband and I had no problem with the food, but if you listened to her, then it would seem like I fed her old meat and rotten vegetables. There's just nothing can please her.
aNo, I can't see that happening. I know you're a good cook and nothing like that would ever happen.
不，我看不出会发生这种事。我知道你是个手艺不错的厨师，像那样的事决不会发生。
bIt's not just that. She also criticizes how we raise the kids.
事情还不止那样。她还批评我怎么抚养小孩。
aMy mother-in-law used to do the same thing to us. If it wasn't disciplining them enough, then we were disciplining them too much. She also complained about the food we fed them, the schools we sent them too, and everything else under the sun.
aWe basically sat her down and told her how we felt about her constant criticizing, and how we welcomed her advice but hoped she'd let us do our things. She understood, and now everything is a lot more peaceful.
