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。
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。
4. …and she goes to work even after getting married.
結婚后她也依然去工作。
get married意為“結婚”，表示短暫行為，不能與表示一段時間的狀語連用。表示結婚多長時間，要用be married。
