夜深了,Andy Liu回到了他在Perkins Hall的宿舍,他在贴着毛泽东头像和“LET’SPARTY(一起开派对)”海报的宿舍门口犹豫了一下,推门而入。Andy咕噜着跟他的美国室友打了个招呼,身后拖着他从中国带来的大箱子,箱子里装着Andy的床单、枕头还有一些换洗衣服。美国室友客套地问Andy需不需要帮他收拾箱子里的东西,Andy尴尬地呆在原地,不知道如何用英语回答室友。片刻的沉寂之后,Andy只得放弃了回答,静静地开始玩电脑。 Late at night, Andy Liu returned to his quarters in Perkins Hall, he hesitating at the dorm door next to Mao’s portrait and the “LET’SPARTY (party)” posters, and pushed in. Andy gruntly greeted his American roommate, dragging behind the big box that he brought from China with Andy’s linen in his chest, some pillows and some clothes to wash. Andy, a roommate from the United States, asked me, needlessly, to help him clean up the contents of the box. Andy stayed awkwardly and did not know how to answer his roommate in English. After a moment of silence, Andy had to give up and quietly started playing the computer.
