我们就像吉普赛人,几乎年年搬家。父亲总是能够找出许多搬家的理由,比如调换工作,房子太小,邻居素质太差,或是离城镇太远。父亲的这些理由一出来,母亲、姐姐、弟弟和我就得开始收拾了,通常忙上好几天,最后,把乱七八糟的东西扔上汽车,搬到另一个陌生的地方。 We are like gypsies, moving almost every year. My father was always able to find out many reasons for moving, such as changing jobs, too small houses, poor neighborhoods, or too far from town. As soon as these reasons for my father came, my mother, sister, brother and I would begin to pack up, usually for days. Finally, throw messy things into the car and move to another unfamiliar place.
