Flora-

Everyday was a struggle physically. The heat was oppressive in the Summer and the cold was constant in the Winter.每天的工作都很繁重。夏天异常炎热，冬天持续寒冷。My back would burn with pain from the constant bending, lifting, and carrying. My feet would ache from standing the entire day.由于不停地弯腰，抬货、搬货，背部有灼烧般的疼痛。一整天下来我的脚也酸痛不已。The skin around my fingernails would split and bleed from the continuous work my hands were doing.手指甲旁边的皮肤因双手持续工作而开裂出血。I tried to keep my spirits up while I worked there, but day by day I felt myself wearing down.每天工作的时候我都强打精神，但是随着日子一天一天过去，我也感到厌烦。Every morning I would place Band-Aides around my fingers and pull on my worn out work boots. And every night I would drag myself home smelling of sweat and sawdust and collapse on the couch.每天在早晨我用OK绷缠在手上，穿上破旧的工作靴。每天晚上，我拖着疲惫不堪、满身臭汗、沾满木屑的身体回到家中，瘫坐在沙发上。One evening I felt like I could take it no more. 一天晚上，我觉得再也不能忍受这样的工作了。Why am I working myself to death here just to survive? 为什么为了生存我要这样至死不渝的工作？Why couldn't I find a better job t
