No, but she kept herself to herself.

不，但她把自己藏起来了。

Instead of any of those things, she did what she always did in times of trouble: kept herself to herself.

她什么都没做，就像她遇到麻烦的时候一贯的作风：自力更生不求人。

Behind the question was all we knew of our mother, who “kept herself to herself, ” as she liked to say.

言下之意我们都了解妈妈的脾气，用她自己的话说，她是“自力更生不求人”。

I never knew her more than slightly and she was a woman who kept herself to herself.

我从来不认识她，她是一个自我封闭的女人。

She'd borne it up till now, she'd kept herself to herself, and never once had she been seen to cry.

一直到现在， 她都忍着，一个人守着自己， 从来没有人看见她哭过。

But the struggle she'd had to bring up those six little children and keep herself to herself. Terrible it had been!

但她不得不为抚养那六个小孩而努力，并让自己独处。太可怕了！
