本文选自小说Two Kinds的第一部分,在这部分内容中,作者通过讲述一些家庭小事反映出要强的母亲那“望女成凤”的急切心态。需要注意的是,由于作者的母亲说的大多是蹩脚英语,所以本文中有关作者母亲话语的引述都不大符合英文行文规范,此是作者特意为之。——Lavender This article is taken from the first part of the novel Two Kinds, in which the author reflects the eagerness of a stronger mother by describing some family minorities. It should be noted that, because the author’s mother said mostly bad English, so the quotations of the author’s mother’s discourse in this article are not in line with the norms of English writing, which is the author’s intention. - Lavender
