“Oh, no, thank you,” the woman said and quickly forced(强迫) the old man back to the seat. “Please don’t do that. I can stand.”

“But, Madam, let me…,” Said the man, and he tried again.

You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best." What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? Or in your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no right translation(翻译). It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
