K: how many people are there in your family?
J: my immediate family is quite small. It’s just my older step-brother, my mom, my step-dad and me. how about you?
K: I have a large family. I have three older sisters, my twin sister, a younger brother, and parents.
J: I didn’t know you were a twin! Are you identical or fraternal?
K: we’re identical. I mean, we look exactly the same, but we are complete opposites when it comes to everything else.
J: interesting. It must be great having a twin sister. Are you best friends, too?
K: we used to be really close, but that all changed once she moved to Shanghai. How about your family? You didn’t mention to your biological father.
J: I don’t know much about him. He died when I was just a baby. Even though I don’t have a blood relationship with my step-father and step-brother, I consider them to be my real family.
K: what about your step-brother’s mother? Does he keep in touch with her?
J: no, she also died when my step-brother was little. My mother and my step-father met each other shortly after my father died and became good friends. They ended up getting married a few years later.
K: sounds like it was meant to be.

你們家有幾口人？
我的直系親屬人數不多。只有一個我繼父帶來的哥哥，我母親，我繼父和我。你呢？
我們家可是個大家庭。我有3個姐姐，一個雙胞胎姐姐，一個弟弟和我父母。
我不知道你是個雙胞胎。你們是同卵雙生還是異卵雙生？
我們是同卵雙生。
我的意思是說，儘管我們長得一摸一樣，但是其它地方毫無相似之處。
真有意思！有個雙胞胎的姐妹的感覺一定很棒。你們倆也是最好的朋友吧？
我們曾經親密無比。但後來她搬到上海以後，情況就變了。你們家的情況怎麼樣？你沒有提過你的親生父親。
對於他耳朵事情我知道的不多，我還在襁褓中的時候他就去世了。即使我跟我的哥哥和繼父沒有血緣關係，但我還是覺得他們就是我真正的家人。
那你那位哥哥的母親怎麼樣？他還跟她有聯繫嗎
沒了。她也是在我哥哥很小的時候去世的。我父親去世後不久，我媽媽和我繼父就認識了，還成了很好的朋友。幾年之後，他們才結婚。
這似乎是命中註定。
