A woman who operates a small business from her home. (NOTE: "Betty" is a short form of the common English female name "Elizabeth")
Before she could afford to open a shop, my mother was a basement Betty who made and repaired women's clothing in our family's tiny, cramped apartment.
在有足够的钱开店面之前，我母亲只是在家里做点小买卖，在我家狭小拥挤的房子里给人缝补衣服。
