因為孤獨Jackie喜歡上海 Because of beinglonely Jackie likes Shanghai
其實不想說美國壞話,在這兒那麼多年. 剛來時,覺的這裡真是天堂. 那麼蘭的天,那麼綠的樹. 前面那麼大草地,後面那麼大院子. 記得父母剛來的時候很喜歡,在後院種了很多蔬菜,南瓜,黃瓜,生菜, 豆角,番茄, 辣椒,茄子,每年收成的時候都吃不了,送給老年中心的其他朋友. 以前家裡已經有柚子樹,他們又種了枇杷,無花果,結果引得松鼠, 小鳥都來吃. 柚子成熟的時候, 把樹都壓彎了, 因為正好在車道上面, 每次車子開過都會咚咚的響. 我讓園丁把樹枝剪下,趁機把那些大柚子都收集起來, 運到學校分給孩子們. 那些孩子們, Jackie的同學們, 都興奮得不得了, 排著隊等著分柚子, 一人一個. 柚子有的像排球這麼大,聞上去香噴噴的,他們興高采烈地帶回去了!每年都這樣,都知道是Jacqueline 的媽媽拿來的, 讓Jackie在學校好有面子,也教會她有好東西要跟別人分享,大家高興. 這邊東西也便宜, 家附近的超市裡水果蔬菜都特別便宜,豬腿肉一塊美金一磅,哪裡找去? 只是想象一下,這邊6:30就黑天了, 街上連白天都沒有人走, 回家就我跟 Jackie兩個人, 一開門黑咕隆咚. 每天晚上都是她親自特地去鎖門. 她告訴我她喜歡上海,為什麼?因為上面有人,下面有人,四周都有人,晚上又熱鬧,她不害怕!我想哭!
Actually, I don』t want to say bad things about the United States. I have been here for so many years. When I first came here, I felt that this place is really a paradise. So blue sky, so green trees. Big front grass yard, big back yard. Remember that my parents liked it when they first came. In the backyard, they planted a lot of vegetables, pumpkins, cucumbers, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. I can't eat them every year when it is harvest time. They gave them to other friends in the senior center. I used to have grapefruit, figtrees in my home the result is squirrel, the birds came to eat alot of them. When the grapefruit was ripe, the tree was bent, because it was just above the driveway, every time the car drove through, it would sizzle. I let the gardener cut the branches and take the opportunity to collect the big grapefruits and send them to the school for the children. The children, Jackie's classmates, are very excited, lined up waiting for the grapefruit, one for one person . The grapefruit was as big as a volleyball, smelled the scent, they went back in a happy mood! Every year, they knew it was brought by Jacqueline's mother. I let Jackie have a good face at school. I also taught her that good things should be shared with others. Everyone was happy. Fruits and vegetables are also cheap in the supermarket near the house, a piece of pork leg a dollar per pound, where to find? Just imagine that after6:30pm, there are no people walking in the street, evenduring the day. When I go home, I am with Jackie, and I open the door to the dark black. Every night, she personally went to lock the door. She told me she likes Shanghai, why? Because there are people above, down, around, and lively at night, she is not afraid! Hey, I want to cry! |
