本期“地道英文”选自他的一篇小说,限于篇幅,内容有删减。故事讲述的是一个孩子顿悟的过程,文中有多处暗示“我”的家境贫寒,但“我”却浑然不觉;反而觉得用硬纸板充当鞋垫是毫无所谓,每天喝土豆汤很不错,每天都可以和爸爸妈妈待在一起是件很幸福的事,“我”的天真没有让“我”过多地思考和怀疑。直到平安夜那晚,父母只字不提过节的事儿,“我”才意识到家中穷困的状况,从而联想到以前的种种,这让“我”痛苦不已。小时候的痛苦记忆总会留下永不消退的伤疤,这也许就是为什么父母无论遇到什么困难都不和我们言说的原因吧。父母以隐忍成就了我们的无忧童年,感谢你们! This issue “authentic English ” is selected from his novels, limited to space, the content is cut. The story is about the process of a child’s epiphany. There are many places in the article that imply that “I” is a poor family, but “I” is unaware. I think it does not matter that I use cardboard as insoles. Very good, every day and mom and dad stay together is a very happy thing, “I ” innocence did not let “I ” too much to think and doubt. It was not until the night of Christmas Eve that my parents said nothing of the past, and I was only aware of the poor conditions in my home so that I was reminded of all the previous ones. This made me suffer so much. The memories of childhood pain always leave the scars never faded, which is probably why parents do not talk with us no matter what the difficulties encountered. Parents obscene achievements of our carefree childhood, thank you!
