Language points
1. …looking after us was more than a full-time job.
…照料我們比做一份全職工作還要辛苦.
這句話的主語是動名詞短語looking after us。單個v-ing形式短語在句中作主語時，謂語動詞要用單數。句中more than表示“不只是，多于”。例如：
He is more than a coach. He is a friend.
他不只是教練，更是朋友。
2. …what’s more, because I was a girl.
而且，我是個女孩。
what’s more表示遞進，“然而/還有…… ”的意思，獨立使用，既可以放句首，也可以放句中，what’s more后面加逗號。
你應該記住它，更重要的是，應該正確理解它。
You should remember it, and what’s more, you should get it right.
3. Generally speaking, I think life is better today.
總的說來，我認為今天的生活更好了。
generally speaking表示“一般而言，總的說來”。in general也可以表達同樣的意思。例如：
Generally speaking, we enjoyed the trip.
總的說來，我們這次旅行很愉快。
In general, women live longer than men.
總的說來，女性比男性更長壽。
