斯ういつて呉れる裏に、私は二人が私に對して有つてゐる過分な希望を讀んだ。迂濶な父や母は、不相當な地位と収入とを卒業したての私から期待してゐるらしかつたのである。
translation
Behind the scenes, I read the unreasonable hopes they both had for me. It seemed to me that my careless father and mother were expecting a disproportionate position and income from me, who had just graduated.
