89、也不能偷偷溜进那片空地去寻找鬼魂和动物骨头，而非得去中文学校上课。无论怎么跺脚踢腿、大喊大闹、或者苦苦哀求，妈妈都无动于衷。她下定决心要让我们学会祖传的语言。DetailedReading96CT-p3第3段 中文译文 连拖带拽，她带着我们走过那长长的七个街区的陡坡路来到学校，把我们扔在那无比严酷的校长面前，我们满脸都是倔强的泪水。我头脑里只记得，那个校长像一棵棕榈树，双脚站立，身体左右摇晃，双手手指交叉放在背后总不耐烦地抽动着。在我眼里，他是个心情压抑、行为狂躁的谋杀小孩的凶手，而且还知道，如果一旦看见他的手，我们就有大麻烦了。DetailedReading97CT-p4-5第4-5段 中文
90、译文我们都坐在空空荡荡礼堂里的小椅子上。屋内散发着像中药似的气味，一种来自远方的陈年霉味，像年代久远的樟脑丸或肮脏的小房间里的味道。我对那种味道深恶痛绝。我喜爱清新的香味，比如我的那位公立学校美国老师身上的那种温馨的法国香水味。虽然在那所学校里主要是学习语言说话、阅读、写字，但是每堂课总是以操练礼貌开始。老师一走进教室，最好的那个学生就打铃，于是大家全体起立、磕头、并齐声说，“先生好”，即“老师您好”的中文发音。DetailedReading98CT-p6第6段 中文译文那年我十岁，比起用毛笔从右至左一横一竖、煞费苦心地写方块字，我有更好的东西去学习。毛笔是一支真正的墨水笔，要避免弄出墨点儿来

92、etailedReading100CT-p8第8段 中文译文在唐人街，数以千计的华人为了生计来往忙碌，他们说起话的声音杂乱无章。我可不想被人以为疯了，以为在胡言乱语。我开口说英语时，人们对我点头示意、报以微笑，还说上几句鼓励的话。甚至连与我同民族的人也会忙不迭地说我以后会有出息。“天哪，她那小嘴唇动得多快，”他们说道，意思是说我跟得上唐人街外面世界的步伐。DetailedReading101CT-p9第9段 中文译文提到说英语，我弟弟比我更吹毛求疵。他对妈妈特别严格，经常批评她的洋泾浜英语，丝毫不留情面说她的英语会话中像炒杂碎似的夹杂着一两句中文。“不是What it is,妈妈，” 他会很生
93、气地说。“是What is it, what is it, what is it!”有的时候，妈妈也许会漏掉“the”或“a”, 或者忘掉动词“being”。他就会在她说到一半的时候打断她。“再说一次，妈妈。要说正确了。”他自己口误时，就会把责任推给她。“瞧，妈妈，都是因为你，是你树立的坏榜样。”DetailedReading102CT-p10-11第10-11段 中文译文最让妈妈怒不可遏的是弟弟抓住她在辅音上出的错，尤其是“r”这个音。爸爸对妈妈恶作剧，给她取了一个美国名字，她那舌头就是发不出这个音。无论怎么努力，她说“Ruth”，结果不是“Luth”，就是“Roof”。用毛笔写了两年字，背
