From Day One
From day one of Kate's first year at college, her mother saw her as both 'green' and naive. If she had known how soon Kate would become involved with a boy met at a first-week mixer, Jean would have had her home those first few weekends instead of "getting used to being on her own."
初日
しょにち
初日から、彼女は間違っていた。
しょにち から、 かのじょ わ まちが って いた。
From day one, she was wrong.
Denshi Jisho has
