2.linad 。。。。我猜是Linda，人名吧。
3.slim and delicate looking but tough and firm inside 外表柔弱，内心坚强
4.你有些空格没打出来吧， had abackground of diverse illnesses 应该是 have a background 吧
5.有些没断句吧。。.My husband later that when she walked merrily off the plane on cheristmas day in 1994 with her round ,worried looking chinese bady bundled in red and holding atoy bear he had aweird impression that we would eventually raise this child 这句，我个人感觉是有些缺了或者顺序错了之类的，但是大意应该是“我的丈夫在看到我的朋友Linda有一个小孩的时候，感到很奇怪”吧。
6.three years my best friend died 应该是three years later吧
6.iwas 55,afulltime textbook editor whith two almost grown daughters应该是 I was 55， a full-time textbook editor with two almost grown daughters（两个已渐成人的女儿）
7.my huaband 应该是my husband 吧
8.iwas loking forward to a few years of empty nesting and then some grendchildren 应该是I was looking forward to 这句应该是少了点什么吧。。。不过look forward to doing sth 期望做某事
9.Starting over with a dunamic kingergartner was, to be frank ,not my expectation. 这一句：start over with sth 重新开始。。。。， 后面应是dynamic吧，“有活力的” to be frank 老实说，常用短语
有什么不懂的你再具体问吧追问
为啥是Starting over with a dynamic kingdergartner was ，为啥was在后面？
追答这个是一个语法，是用动词ing形式作为主语
比如说，Reading books is one of my favorite thing. 读书是我喜欢的事之一。
这里Reading books 在这里是作为 主语 is 是谓语
很常用的
原句里 to be frank 是相当于一个插入语，只要知道意思，然后分析语法的时候可以去掉的
学英语要基础开始。别急于求成
虽然你这种方法也许不错。。。可是 找篇 对的 文章吧。。。。从小学文章看起、、、
