Last person left

Is aoir an sliocht seo ar shaol daoine saibhre i mbáile átha cliath le linn ré an Tíogar Cheilitigh agus at na luachanna a bhí acu

It is a satire piece about the lives of the rich people in Dublin during Celtic tiger and their values

Tá an t-údar ag aoradh Lisín Albright

Author makes fun of lisín

Tá an t-údar ag magadh faoin mbaothghalántach a bhaineann léi agus na luachanna atá aici

The author makes fun of her snobbery and her values

Léirionn an t-údar go bhfuil rud éigin éadomhain falsa ag baint le saol ndaoine sin agus dtuigeann siad saol na ngnáthdhaoine

The author shows the fairness and shallowness of their lives and they don’t understand the lives of ordinary people

Bean ghnóthach í Lisín

She’s a busy woman

Tá sí féin agus Pól pósta le 20 bliain

She and pol are married 20 years

Tá beirt mhac acu, cuán agus ruán

She has 2 sons (cuan and ruan)

Tá cónaí uirthi ar bhóthar galánta

She lives on a beautiful road

Tá an china ar an scéal go raibh an saibhreas agus an stádas ní ba thábhachtaí di an grá

It seems from the story that wealth and status are more important to her than love

Tá colainn fhoirfe ag Lisín. Tá sí tanaí agus dathúil. Is léir go bhfuil a híomhá an-tábhachtach di.

Lisin has a perfect body. She’s skinny and good looking. It’s clear image is important to her

tá sí tabhachtach di freisin go bhféachann sí níos faiseanta agus níos áille ná aon bhean eile ar an mbóthar

It is also important to her that she looks more fashionable and beautiful than any other woman on the road.

Foghlaimíonn sí an-chuid teangacha -Spáinnis, Rúisis, Sínis agus Seapáinus- cuid de na teangacha is deacra le foghlaim

She is learning many languages ​​- Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Japanese - some of the most difficult languages ​​to learn.

Ligeann sí uirthi go bhfuil speis aici inti

She pretends to be interested in her

Ní theastaíonn ó Lisín aon fadhb a fheiceail ina saol

She doesn’t want to see problems in her life

Níl a mac ruán compordach leí agus ní mhothaíonn sé gur féidir leis fadhbanna a phlé léi

Her son is not comfortable with her and doesn't feel like he can discuss problems with her.

Ligeann sí uirthi go bhfuil gur duine riogarí

She pretends she’s royalty

Tá a lán airgid aici mar tá Tiogar Cheiltigh ann

She has a lot of money because it is the Celtic tiger

Léirítear iad mar dhaoine baothghalánta agus gránna

They are shown as horrible people

Go hiomlán gafa lena n-íomha

Completely obsessed with image

Nach máthair mhaith í Lisín

She isn’t a good mother

Mothaímid nach bhfuil fíor spéis ag Lisín sna rudaí seo

We feel she doesn’t have a true interest

ise is cúis lena bhás

She’s responsible for his death

He can’t stay quiet or still

Líonann sé an carráiste le torann

He fills the carriage with noise

Ní thuigeabn sé go bhfuil sé ag cur isteach ar Catherine

He doesn’t understand he is annoying her

Labhraíonn Paul gan star gan staonadh

Paul talks without stopping

Tá sé ag brath at a bhata siúil agus ar a análóir

He’s depending on his walking stick and his inhaler

Tá sé ag brath ar chineáltas daoine eile chun tríd an saol

He depends on the kindness of others to get through life

Míshuaimhneach
