我的父母是俄国人——但我不是。我从小在美国长大,所以我从没想过我与其他孩子有什么不同,直到他们开始因为我不会说英语而取笑我。那时我4岁,一个小男孩用俄语嘲笑我,说我英文缺乏技巧,我才明白了一切。“我能说英语!”我用俄语向父母喊道。但事实上,那男孩儿是对的……因为直到上了学前班我才开始学习说英语。 My parents are Russian - but I am not. I grew up in the United States, so I never thought I was different from other children until they started to tease me because I didn’t speak English. At the time I was 4 years old, a little boy mocked me in Russian and said that I lacked skills in English and I learned everything. “I can speak English!” I shouted to my parents in Russian. But in fact, the boy was right... because I didn’t start learning to speak English until I was in preschool.
