在我九岁时,妈就对我说:“你也能成为天才。你会样样事都应付得很出色的。琳达姨算什么?她那女儿,只不过心眼多一点而已。” 至于我将成为哪方面的天才,妈并不急于立时拍板定案。起初,她认为我完全可以成为中国的秀兰·邓波儿。我们不放过电视里的秀兰·邓波儿的旧片子,每每这时,妈便会抬起我的手臂往屏幕频频挥动:“你--看。”这用的是汉语。而我,也确实看见秀兰摆出轻盈的舞姿,或演唱一支水手歌,有时,则将嘴唇撅成个圆圆的“○”字,说一声“哦,我的上帝”。 When I was nine years old, Mom said to me, “You can be a genius too. You will handle everything very well. What is Linda? What about her daughter? It’s just a little more.” “ As for the genius to which I will become, Mom is not eager to make a final decision. At first, she thought that I could completely become China’s Xiulan Dengboer. We have not let go of the old film of Shirley·Dan Boer on the TV. At this moment, mom will lift my arm and wave to the screen frequently: “You-see.” This is Chinese. And I, indeed, saw Xiulan make a light dance, or sing a sailor’s song. Sometimes, the lips were turned into a round ”○○“ word, say ”Oh, my God." .
