The only thing about them that makes their moms worried and regretful is that perhaps they are over 30 or 40, but are still on their own; or they are married but there is never any "news"; or they have children but are divorced; or even that they have a child without being married.
她們唯一讓媽媽操心、遺憾的，可能是年過卅、四十，卻仍小姑獨處；或是結了婚卻遲遲沒有「消息」；或是有了孩子卻與先生離婚；甚至不婚生子。
