一起走過的日子

Blue Sky

The Days We Went Through Together 親愛的穎敏、嘉敏： 你們是我的侄女，也是我心愛的孩子。 我愛你們！ Dear Yvonne and Carmen,You are my nieces and my beloved children. I love you! 　　從你們呱呱墜地的嬰兒開始，我就在你們身邊，看著你們一天天長大。從嗷嗷待哺、牙牙學(xué)語、蹣跚學(xué)步的嬰兒到今天亭亭玉立的窈窕淑女。 Ever since you were born, I have been by your side and have watched you grow up day by day- from crying for food, babbling, and toddling, to the graceful, kind and beautiful girls you are today. 　　在這個成長過程中，你們以甜美的笑容、善良的心態(tài)、不懈的努力踏踏實實地走過成長的每一步，成就了今天的你們。 In the process of growing up, you have gone through every step of your growth with a sweet smile, a kind mind and unremitting efforts, all of which have made you who you are today. 　　終于，你們完成了學(xué)業(yè)，擁有一份如意的工作，青春靚麗的你們就像綻放的太陽花一樣絢麗迷人。 Finally, you have completed your studies and have satisfactory jobs. You are as beautiful and charming as the sunflowers in bloom.  　　回想陪伴你們成長的日子，你們的聰明、天真、可愛、善良的點點滴滴給了我和家人很多的快樂和溫暖，你們一天天的成長、一天天的進(jìn)步，就像生活中不斷綻放的花朵，點綴著生命的美好。 Looking back on the days when you grew up, your cleverness, innocence, loveliness and kindness gave my family and I a lot of happiness and warmth. Your growth and progress day by day, just like the flowers blooming in life, are embellished with the beauty of life. 　　如今，你們各自找到了生命中的最佳伴侶，他們都是非常聰明能干、英俊瀟灑的小伙子，看見他們溫和的笑容真是讓我心生歡喜。很快，你們又將陸續(xù)步入婚姻的殿堂，這是人生另一個階段的新起點。希望你們更加努力，不斷學(xué)習(xí)，你們會收獲滿滿的幸福。 Now you have each found the best partner in your life, who are both very smart, capable, handsome young men. It makes me happy to see their gentle smiles. Soon, you will enter the hall of marriage one after another, which is a new starting point for another stage of life. I hope you will work harder and keep learning, and you will be full of happiness. 我為你們感到驕傲！感謝你們給我?guī)淼臏嘏涂鞓罚?lt;/b>祝福你們健康愉快！生活幸福！愛永隨！ 永遠(yuǎn)愛你們的姑媽 ?I'm proud of you!Thank you for bringing me warmth and happiness!Wish you good health and happiness! Live a happy life! Love is always with you! Always love you Aunt ???????????????? 　　穎敏的昵稱是“喳喳”，意為悅耳動聽的聲音。從嬰兒起就跟我形影不離，每天和我睡在一起，象母女一樣親密。我給她喂食，跟她玩耍，幫她洗澡，教她語言，教她走路，教她如廁……。喳喳是我見過的最乖巧可愛的嬰兒，無論任何時候睡醒了都不吵鬧，靜靜地躺在嬰兒床上玩弄她的玩具，直到我進(jìn)去房間查看，她就開心地向我綻放甜美的笑容，我滿心歡喜地抱起她、親親這個可愛的小天使。 Yvonne's nickname is "Ja Ja", which means a pleasant voice. She has been inseparable from me since she was a baby, sleeping with me every day, as close as mother and daughter. I fed her, played with her, bathed her, and taught her how to speak, walk, and go to the toilet. Ja Ja is the most lovely baby I have ever seen. No matter when she wakes up, she would quietly lie on the crib and play with her toys. When I checked up on her, she always happily smiled back at me. I would pick her up and kiss this lovely little angel with a heart full of delight. 　　我每天晚上睡覺都給她講故事，講得最多的是：拇指姑娘、青蛙王子、三只小豬、大灰狼、小兔子……。喳喳是一個聰明漂亮的小女孩，她非常喜歡蕩秋千，她銀鈴般的笑聲隨著飛蕩的秋千一串串地盤旋在周圍，讓人心生歡喜。這種快樂的場景通過她的眼睛和她的感受深刻地印記在心里。于是，我教她畫的第一幅畫就是蕩秋千、還有房子、蘋果樹、白云、海鷗……。特別是在我讀大學(xué)期間，我每天晚上都要讀書復(fù)習(xí)到深夜，她總是喜歡坐在我的膝蓋上，我抱著她繼續(xù)看我的書，她就在書桌上繪畫，非常安靜，從不打擾我。當(dāng)我停下來休息一會兒的時候，我又教她畫美麗的圖畫。 I told her stories every night when we went to bed. The ones I told most were: Thumbelina, Prince Frog, three Little Pigs, Big Grey Wolf and Little Rabbit. Ja Ja was a smart and beautiful little girl. She liked playing on the swings very much, and her silver bell-like laughter hovered around with the flying swing, which made people happy. This happy scene is deeply imprinted in her heart through her eyes and her feelings. The first picture I taught her how to draw was a picture of her playing on the swings with houses, apple trees, white clouds, and seagulls all around her. I was in college at the time, and I had to study late at night or even into the early mornings. She always liked to sit on my lap, as I held her in my arms and continued to read my books. She painted on the desk and was very quiet, never disturbing me. When I stopped to have a rest, I taught her how to draw more beautiful pictures. 　　小小的喳喳也很喜歡唱歌，一學(xué)就會，聲音好好聽。有一次Andy哥哥（我兒子）參加當(dāng)?shù)仉娕_舉辦的歌唱比賽，要演唱一首中文歌曲《哪有一天不想你》哥哥在家經(jīng)常唱，小妹妹也就學(xué)會了。哥哥上臺表演的時候，我的侄子侄女都去給哥哥獻(xiàn)花呢，好開心??！ ?Little Ja Ja also likes singing very much, she learned it very quickly, and she has a good voice. Once, my son Andy took part in a singing competition held by the local radio station to sing a Chinese song, "Not one day I don't think of you." Andy often sang at home, and my little Ja Ja learned it from him. When Andy performed on the stage, my nephew Kevin and niece Ja Ja all went to present flowers to him. I was so happy. 　　喳喳三歲的時候，我?guī)ビ字蓤@面試入學(xué)，在老師的辦公室里，喳喳拿起筆畫了一幅在公園里蕩秋千的圖畫，老師贊嘆不已。然后，老師問她會不會唱歌，她張開小嘴就唱了那首粵語歌《哪有一天不想你》，老師好開心地笑著說：“雖然我不懂中文歌，但你唱得太棒了！”喳喳真是一個很聰明伶俐又招人喜愛的小女孩。 When Ja Ja was three years old, I took her to kindergarten for an interview for admission. In the teacher's office, Ja Ja picked up her pen and drew a picture of her playing on the swings in the park. The teacher was amazed. Then, the teacher asked her if she could sing. She opened her mouth and sang the Cantonese song "Not one day I don't think of you," and the teacher smiled happily and said, "Although I don't know Chinese songs, you sing so well!" Ja Ja is really a very clever and lovely little girl. 　　一天晚上，我和兒子跟喳喳一起玩耍，我問喳喳誰是她的偶像，Andy哥哥在一旁跳著腳喊：“阿哥、阿哥！”我也叫著說：“姑媽、姑媽！”年幼的喳喳看看這個看看那個，無法定奪。后來，她小嘴一張：“姑媽”，真是把我樂壞了！其實，她真正的偶像是阿哥，哥哥的每一次獲獎她都拿著獎座、獎牌細(xì)看良久，了解清楚是哪一類競賽的獎項，她說要向哥哥學(xué)習(xí)。果然，她讀得非常好，成績一直遙遙領(lǐng)先。 One night, my son and I were playing with Ja Ja. I asked Ja Ja who her idol was. Andy jumped to his feet and shouted, "Brother, brother!" I also yelled, "Auntie, auntie!" Little Ja Ja looked around- she couldn't make a decision. Then, she opened her mouth and said, "Auntie!" That really made me so happy! The truth is, her real idol is Andy. Every time her brother won a prize, she would take a close look at the trophy and medal for a long time to understand what kind of award it is. She always said she wanted to learn from her brother. Sure enough, she did very well in her studies, and her grades have been far ahead. 　　喳喳五歲的時候，我就開始教她看書讀書，就是大聲朗讀。我經(jīng)常在我工作的圖書館借一些適齡的兒童讀物，鼓勵她天天朗讀，由淺入深，由簡到繁。我跟她說：“我們訂一個計劃，這個星期你可以每天讀1—2頁，下個星期你就讀3—5頁，再下個星期你就讀10頁，這樣循序漸進(jìn)你不僅可以認(rèn)識很多文字，而且還愛上了閱讀，讓你以后的進(jìn)步更快?？赡芤婚_始你會覺得有點困難，但只要你堅持下去，很快就可以克服困難?！惫?，她按照這個計劃去做，每天讀書都用書簽標(biāo)記，不久，她就高興地告訴我：“姑媽，我現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)可以每天讀十幾頁了?！碑?dāng)然，很快她就一本接一本地讀了很多書。 When Ja Ja was five years old, I began to teach her to read, that is, to read aloud. I often borrowed some books for children of the right age in the library where I worked to encourage her to read aloud every day, from simple to deep to complex. I said to her, "We have a plan that you can read 2 pages a day this week, 5 pages a day next week, and 10 pages the week after next. In this way, you can not only know a lot of words, but also fall in love with reading so that you can make faster progress in the future. You may find it a little difficult at first, but as long as you stick to it, you will soon be able to overcome it." Sure enough, she followed this plan and marked her books with bookmarks every day, and soon she told me happily, "Auntie, I can read more than a dozen pages a day now." Of course, she soon read a lot of books one after another. 　　讀中學(xué)的時候，喳喳在當(dāng)?shù)氐尼t(yī)院做義工，我經(jīng)常接送她上下班，并囑咐她不僅是認(rèn)真工作，更要對工作擁有熱情的態(tài)度，多為病人著想，關(guān)心他們，幫助他們。喳喳常常告訴我她今天幫助病人做了什么事情，人家很感激她等等。她工作很好，經(jīng)常獲得大家的稱贊。 When Ja Ja was in high school, she worked as a volunteer in the local hospital. I often took her to and from work, and told her not only to work hard, but to also have a passionate attitude towards her work, to be more considerate of patients, care for them, and help them. Ja Ja often tells me what she had done to help patients during the day, and that people are very grateful for her help. She works well and is often praised by everyone. 　　喳喳上大學(xué)了，離開家，去了NYU（紐約大學(xué)）讀書。我好想念她，拿起電話想聊一下，誰知我剛開口說了一句，眼淚立刻就涌了出來，哽咽著說不出聲，因為心中涌動著太多的愛、太多的不舍、太多的想念??！ When Ja Ja went to college, she left home and went to study at NYU (New York University). I missed her so much that I picked up the phone and wanted to talk, but as soon as I opened my mouth, tears welled up immediately and I would get choked up and speechless, because there was too much love, too much reluctance to give up, and too much miss in my heart. 　　長大了的喳喳成了我的老師，雖然我經(jīng)常操作電腦，但對日新月異的一些電腦新功能并不熟悉，需要不斷學(xué)習(xí)。于是，喳喳很耐心地給我解釋，并且把操作過程的每一個步驟寫下來，使我很容易上手。而且，她經(jīng)常熱心幫助我處理一些生活上的事情，我深感欣慰。 Ja Ja, who has grown up, has become my teacher . Although I often operate computers, I am not familiar with some new computer functions that are changing with each passing day and I need to keep learning. So Ja Ja would explain to me patiently and write down every step of the operation process, which made it easy for me to understand. Moreover, I am deeply gratified that she is always eager to help me deal with various everyday issues. ???????????????? 　　小侄女嘉敏的小名叫“豆豆”，意為聰明豆，是我兒子Andy給她的昵稱。她是一個非常聰明可愛又溫柔漂亮的小女孩，一出生就顯得與眾不同。豆豆出生那天，我們?nèi)メt(yī)院探望這個粉嫩粉嫩的嬰兒，在房間里，我忽然聽到一聲聲奇怪的聲音，我尋著聲音去找，哎喲，原來是新生兒吃奶發(fā)出來的聲音，真是太不可思議了，這么丁點的嬰兒吃奶居然可以發(fā)聲啦！難怪哥哥說她是聰明豆呢。 Little niece Carmen’s nickname is "Doudou", which means smart beans, and was given to her by my son Andy. She is a very smart, lovely, gentle and beautiful little girl, who was distinct and special from other babies. On the day Doudou was born, we went to the hospital to visit the new baby. In the room, I suddenly heard a strange sound. I went looking for it. Oh, it was the sound of a newborn who was breast-fed. It was incredible that such a little baby could make a sound when she was breast-fed! No wonder Andy said she was smart. 　　豆豆從小就顯現(xiàn)出獨立、勇敢、能干、勤勞、堅韌又靈活等優(yōu)點。豆豆兩歲就學(xué)著自己給自己梳辮子，五歲就學(xué)會了騎自行車，不怕摔更不怕痛。 Doudou has shown the advantages of independence, courage, ability, diligence, tenacity and flexibility from an early age. Doudou learned to braid her hair when she was two years old, and learned to ride a bike at the age of five. She was not afraid of falling and was not afraid of pain. 　　一天傍晚，我把兩歲的豆豆抱來我家玩，我把她放在二樓的窗臺上坐著，我們一起看外面的風(fēng)景。我問她：“豆豆，你看到外面有什么嗎？”她說：“姑媽，我看見窗子外的那棵菜長得好高了?！惫λ牢伊?！窗外那棵不是菜，是長到二樓高的小樹呀！ One evening, I brought two-year-old Doudou to my house to play. I sat her on the sill on the second floor, and we watched the scenery outside. I asked her, "Doudou, do you see anything outside?" She replied, "Auntie, I see that the vegetable outside is growing so tall." Ha, ha! I cracked up laughing. It was a small tree that grew as tall as the second floor , which DouDou had called a vegetable.  　　豆豆好喜歡我養(yǎng)的小狗Puffy，她每天從幼稚園放學(xué)總是先跑來我家抱小狗玩，跟小狗玩游戲，我們?yōu)榱私绦」枫@圈，豆豆親力親為從圈中鉆來鉆去，給小狗做示范，直到小狗學(xué)會跳躍鉆圈，真是好可愛啊！ Doudou liked my puppy "Puffy" very much. Every day after kindergarten, she always came over to my house to hug Puffy and play games with Puffy. In order to teach the puppy to jump through the hoop, Doudou personally jumped through the hoop over and over again, demonstrating to the puppy until he learned to jump through the hoop. It was so cute! 　　豆豆很喜歡畫畫，她為小狗Puffy 的生日畫了好多幅充滿童趣又非常生動的圖畫。 Doudou liked painting very much. She drew a lot of childish and vivid pictures for Puffy's birthday. 　　豆豆常常帶著小狗Puffy 騎單車，我們附近的老外看見她們這樣騎車，覺得很稀奇，問我們是否允許他拍照？我們說：“當(dāng)然可以啦，這是我們的榮幸哦！” Doudou often rode her bicycle with Puffy. Neighbors near us would be surprised to see them ride the bike together like that and asked if we would allow them to take pictures. We said, "Of course, it's our pleasure!" 　　豆豆對什么事情都很上心，記性又好。比如家里人找不到的東西，她一定會堅持幫忙去找，而且每次都不負(fù)眾望帶給大家驚喜，有時候哪怕是找兩三天她都要把東西找出來，由此可見她做事情很認(rèn)真很堅韌也很有責(zé)任心。平時家中里里外外的事情她都爭著去做，我常常由衷地稱贊她是家里勤勞的小蜜蜂。 Doudou is very attentive to everything and has a good memory. For example, if we can't find something, she will insist on helping to find it, and she will surprise everyone every time. Even when she has been looking for something for two or three days, she doesn't give up until she finds it. From this, we can see that she is very serious, tenacious and responsible in her actions. She usually competes to do things inside and outside the home, and I often sincerely praise her as a diligent little bee at home. 　　有一次，我在家里土庫的天花板夾層里放了幾塊專門黏小老鼠的老鼠膠，兩天后我想看看是否有被黏住的小老鼠，但我又害怕把手伸進(jìn)天花板里真的摸到老鼠，所以，我站在椅子上，拿著相機在天花板上的開口處轉(zhuǎn)來轉(zhuǎn)去想拍夾層里面的情景，可無論我怎么擺弄相機還是沒有辦法拍到里面，這時候，在下面一直看著我的小侄女張口就說：“姑媽，你把相機伸進(jìn)天花板里拍不就行了嗎？”哎喲，我的豆豆真聰明?。】刹皇菃?？我怎么就不會這樣想呢？慚愧慚愧！ One time, I put some pieces of mouse glue in the ceiling mezzanine of the dirt vault at home. Two days later, I wanted to see if any mice had been caught, but I was afraid to reach into the ceiling and touch anything. So I stood on the chair, holding the camera at the opening of the ceiling and turning around to photograph the scene inside the mezzanine, but no matter how much I played with the camera, I still couldn't get it inside. At this time, my little niece who was watching me, opened her mouth and said, "Auntie, can't you just put your camera into the ceiling and take pictures?" Oh, my Doudou is so clever! Why couldn't I think of that? Shame! shame! 　　豆豆很聰明，學(xué)習(xí)也很自覺，平時不見她讀書忙乎、可是，她的每科成績都很優(yōu)秀！ Doudou is very smart and self-conscious in her studies. I don't see her busy reading during ordinary times, but her grades in every subject are excellent！ 　　中學(xué)時的豆豆在當(dāng)?shù)厥姓k公廳做義工，我也常常接送她上下班，并囑咐她好好利用這個機會，讓自己學(xué)到更多的東西。因為在市政府辦公廳工作，有機會接觸到一些成功人士，多跟那些人交談，將會受益匪淺。豆豆很聽話，把我的教誨付之行動，每次我接她下班，她都告訴我一些好消息，比如，警察局長告訴她警察是如何處理超速行駛的懲罰；議員、市長他們又告訴她如何選擇理想的大學(xué)，又向她介紹各個大學(xué)的特點等等。在工作中，豆豆勇于表達(dá)自己的想法，所以，這些成年人都很喜歡她，并給了她很多建議，告訴她很多事情，傳授她很多知識，豆豆非常開心。 Doudou worked as a volunteer in the general office of the local municipal government when she was in high school, and I often took her to and from work, and told her to make good use of this opportunity to learn more. Working in the general office of the municipal government would provide her the opportunity to get in touch with some successful people and network with them. Doudou was very obedient and took action on my teachings. Every time I picked her up from work, she told me some good news. For example, The police chief told her how the police dealt with the punishment for speeding; the congressman and mayor also told her how to choose the ideal university, and introduced her to the characteristics of each university, and so on. At work, Doudou had the courage to express her ideas, so these adults liked her very much. They gave her a lot of advice and broadened her knowledge, and Doudou was very happy. 　　長大了的豆豆仍然保持孩童般的純真、溫柔、善良，并且更加懂事了，非常體貼和關(guān)心家人，常常幫助家人分憂解難。比如我想更換一個新的車房門，估計大概需要花費一千多到兩千美元左右，豆豆知道了，她熱心地打電話和上網(wǎng)多方了解各個公司的價錢、質(zhì)量、保險、客戶評價等方面的問題，然后分析比較，提供給我最好的選擇。豆豆真是我們家人的暖心寶貝??！ The now grown-up Doudou still maintains her childlike innocence, tenderness, kindness, and sensibility. She is very considerate and cares about the family, often helping the family solve various problems. For example, when I want to replace a new garage door, it is estimated that it will cost more than 1,000 to 2,000 US dollars. Doudou knows that. She enthusiastically calls and surfs the Internet to learn more about the price, quality, insurance, customer evaluations, and comparisons with various companies. She then analyzes and compares, providing me with the best choice. Doudou is really a warm-hearted girl in our family! ???????????????? 　　這是喳喳和豆豆參加的第二屆芝加哥少年五公里馬拉松比賽，豆豆后來還參加了第三屆、第四屆和第五屆的馬拉松比賽，直至她讀中學(xué)的時候仍然參加跑步運動。 This was the second Chicago Junior 5k Marathon that Ja Ja and Doudou competed in. Doudou later competed in the third, fourth and fifth marathons, and she went on to join the track team when she was in high school. 　　喳喳和豆豆讀小學(xué)和中學(xué)都要乘坐校車，上下車的地點與我家相隔僅僅二三十步，距離很近，很方便。但遇到下雨或下雪的天氣，我不忍心讓她們站在路上等校車，我會讓她們坐上我的車，我開車送她們到校車上落點，等校車到了，她們才離開我的車，立即邁上校車上學(xué)，這樣她們就不會太冷。 When Ja Ja and Doudou went to primary and middle school, they took the school bus, and the bus stop was only 20 or 30 steps away from my home, which was very close and convenient. But when it rained or snowed, I couldn't bear to let them stand on the road outside and wait for the school bus. I would let them get in my car and then drive them to the bus stop to wait for the school bus. When the school bus arrived, they would leave my car and immediately get on the school bus to go to school. That way they don't get too cold. 　　我一直都是很愛護(hù)她們的，常常跟她們聊天，關(guān)心她們的想法，指導(dǎo)她們給自己制訂短期目標(biāo)，并努力實施，與她們分享學(xué)習(xí)的心得，教她們與人相處之道，培養(yǎng)她們正直善良、熱情大方、認(rèn)真負(fù)責(zé)的良好品德，鼓勵她們積極向上，做一個能給社會和人們帶來好處的人，讓自己的生命有價值。 I always love them very much. I often chat with them, care about their ideas, guide them to set short-term goals for themselves and work hard to implement them. I share learning experiences with them and teach them how to get along with others, cultivating their integrity, kindness, enthusiasm and generosity. I encourage them to be positive and maintain their serious and responsible good characters, to benefit society and people, which will bring meaning to their lives. 　　喳喳和豆豆真是兩個溫柔善良、聰明美麗的小天使，在陪伴她們成長的過程中，我們一起度過了很多美好時光，感謝她們帶給我的幸福和快樂！ Ja Ja and Doudou are really two gentle and kind-hearted, smart and beautiful little angels, in the process of growing up with them, we have spent a lot of good time together. I thank them for bringing me happiness! ???????????????? 　　說起我們家的孩子們，他們都非?？蓯?。我兒子最大，比我的侄子侄女們的年齡大一輪，于是，哥哥自然就成了他們的偶像，也經(jīng)常成了他們文章中的主角，是他們學(xué)習(xí)的榜樣，每個孩子都很棒！ Talking about our children, they are all very cute. My son Andy is the oldest, one generation older than my nephews and nieces, so Andy naturally became their idol, is often the protagonist in their articles, and is a role model for them to learn from. Every child is great! 　　他們小時候有很多趣事，記得有一天我先生洗干凈一盤葡萄，叫兩個小侄子一起吃，當(dāng)年大侄子阿弟Kevin 4 歲，小侄子阿B Casey 只是2 歲。他們吃了幾個就不吃了，兄弟倆把盤子中的葡萄一個一個地塞進(jìn)我先生的嘴里，我先生樂呵呵地接應(yīng)不暇，吃到最后一個，是阿B 給他的，他馬上就感覺這個葡萄的口感很不一樣，軟軟的暖呼呼的，一看阿B，原來他把一直含在嘴里很久的葡萄也拿出來喂給我先生吃了（他常常喜歡把食物含在嘴里不吞下去）。哈哈哈，真是太逗了。 They had a lot of interesting memories when they were young. I remember that one day my husband washed a plate of grapes and asked my two little nephews to eat together. My eldest nephew, Kevin, was 4 years old, and my younger nephew, Casey, was only 2 years old. They stopped eating a few of them, and the two brothers stuffed the grapes from the plate into my husband's mouth one by one. My husband was filled with delight. When he ate the last one, it was given to him by Casey. My husband immediately felt that the taste of this grape was very different, soft and warm. Turns out Casey had kept this grape in his own mouth for a long time, took it out, and fed it to my husband secretly. (Casey often liked to keep the food in his mouth and not swallow it). Ha, ha, so funny!  　　我的大侄子和大侄女都是同一年出生的孩子，小時候的阿弟總是追隨著喳喳阿姐，很癡情，我們常常笑他：“以后阿姐長大讀大學(xué)了，你怎么跟她在一起？”小小的阿弟毫不猶豫地說：“我要跟阿姐讀同一個大學(xué)，我還要跟阿姐住同一個宿舍?！惫媸前盐覀冃Ψ?！ My eldest nephew and niece were both born in the same year. When Kevin was a child, he always followed Ja Ja. He was so infatuated that we often laughed at him: "When Ja Ja grows up and goes to college, how are you going to be with her?" Little Kevin said without hesitation, "I want to go to the same university as my sister , and I want to live in the same dormitory with her." Ha, ha! it really made us laugh! 　　這些小孩子真的好可愛，他們之間相處得非常友好，從來都不吵鬧。有時候我在看書或看電視的時候，其中一些有趣的情節(jié)讓我忍俊不禁地大笑起來。而當(dāng)他們看到我在哈哈笑，無論他們正在玩什么，盡管他們根本不知道我為什么笑得那么歡，但他們馬上就跟著我一起哈哈大笑，而且比我笑得還響亮。哈哈哈！真是太逗了，姑媽和孩子們狂笑成一團(tuán)。 These children are really cute. They get along very well with each other and never quarrel with each other. Sometimes when I was reading a book or watching TV, some interesting plots make me laugh. And when they saw me laughing, no matter what they were playing, although they had no idea why I laughed so much, they immediately laughed with me and laughed louder than I did. Ha ha ha! It was so funny that the auntie and the children laughed wildly. 　　有一次，奶奶帶著4歲的豆豆上街買腸粉，師傅把做好的腸粉裝在白色的外賣盒里，然后把外賣盒放進(jìn)塑料袋，再放進(jìn)叉子和紙巾，交給豆豆拿著。豆豆屁顛屁顛地跟著奶奶一路往家里走。忽然，走在后面的豆豆說：“奶奶，叉子掉地上了?！蹦棠填^也不回地說：“算了，扔了吧?！倍苟箍觳阶飞夏棠?，奶奶低頭一看豆豆兩手空空：“你的腸粉呢？”“你叫我扔了呀！”“天??！我只是叫你扔了掉地上的叉子哦！”于是，婆孫倆走回頭把袋子裝的腸粉撿起來。她們回來一說，把我的眼淚都笑出來了。 Once, Grandma took 4-year-old Doudou to the store to buy rice noodle roll. The chef put the prepared rice noodle roll in a white takeout box, then put the takeout box in a plastic bag with a fork and napkin, and gave it to Doudou to hold. Doudou followed grandma all the way home. Suddenly, Doudou, who was walking behind, said, "Grandma, the fork fell to the ground." Grandma said, without looking back, "Forget it, throw it away." Doudou quickly caught up with grandma. But when grandma looked down at Doudou, she noticed that she was empty-handed. She asked, "Where is your rice noodle roll?" Doudou replied, "You told me to throw it away!" Grandma said, "Oh, my goodness! I only told you to throw the fork on the ground, not the whole bag!" So grandma and Doudou walked back and picked up the bag containing the rice noodle roll from the ground. When they came back talking about it, I laughed my tears out. 　　我兩個侄子也非常聰明，尤其是在數(shù)學(xué)方面。小小年紀(jì)就可以心算兩三位數(shù)的乘除運算，速度快，答案準(zhǔn)，把老師驚嘆得下巴都差點掉下來了，好聰明絕頂?shù)男【`??！ My two nephews are also very smart, especially in mathematics. They can mentally calculate the multiplication and division of two or three digits at a young age. They were so fast and accurate that the teacher's jaw dropped. What smart wizards! 　　平時在周末，我常帶侄子侄女們?nèi)D書館看書和借書，引導(dǎo)他們在假期多讀課外書，多寫筆記，互相修改，共同提高。尤其是在中學(xué)階段，我會指導(dǎo)他們?nèi)绾慰己肧AT，給他們一些參考意見和建議，幫助他們準(zhǔn)備復(fù)習(xí)資料，輔導(dǎo)他們做一些模擬考試。因為這個SAT考試非常重要，是考大學(xué)的全國統(tǒng)考，要想考取理想的大學(xué)必須要提早做好準(zhǔn)備。他們知道Andy哥哥考SAT 的數(shù)學(xué)是滿分，而且考ACT 的數(shù)學(xué)也是滿分，他們是以Andy哥哥為榜樣的。所以，他們很認(rèn)真，考得很好，如今個個不負(fù)眾望，學(xué)有所成。 On weekends, I often took my nieces and nephews to the library to read and guided them to read more extra-curricular books, take more notes and improve together. Especially during high school, I would teach them how to do well on the SATs, gave them some references and suggestions, helped them prepare review materials, and helped them do some mock exams. The SAT exam is very important, as it is a national examination for universities, so if you want to be admitted to an ideal university, you must be prepared in advance. They know that their brother Andy got full marks in math in SAT and full marks in Math in ACT exams. They want to learn from Andy. Therefore, they were very diligent and did well on the exams, and now theyhave all lived up to their expectations and have succeeded in their studies. 　　我雖然不懂得烹飪，但我平時會做一些適合這些孩子們口味的食物，比如：甜酸雞翅，鹽焗雞腿，牛肉炒辣椒，羅宋湯，冬菇香菜豬肉餅等等，他們都非常喜歡吃，還把這個美味肉餅尊稱為“姑媽肉餅”，他們說我做的味道特別好吃，令他們垂涎欲滴。 Although I don't know how to cook well, I usually make some foods that suit the taste of these children, such as sweet and sour chicken wings, baked chicken legs with salt, fried chili with beef, borsch, mushroom and coriander pork pie, and so on. They all like it very much. They also call this delicious meat pie "auntie meat pie". They said that the taste was so delicious that it made them salivate. 　　我很喜歡與這些人見人愛的孩子們一起玩，他們都很喜歡我尊敬我，從小我就一直教育他們要做一個好孩子：大方、善良、熱心、努力、專注、不八卦……，我們相互交流得很好，他們都是非常好的孩子，很懂事也很貼心。他們在外面全是說英文，但是在家里我經(jīng)常跟他們說國語，雖然不認(rèn)識很多中文字，可他們會說國語和粵語，還有很多家鄉(xiāng)話，而且說得很棒！尤其是大侄子阿弟，還懂得說很多的俗語，常常讓我驚嘆不已！ I like to play with these kids who are loved by everyone. They all like me and respect me. From an early age, I have always taught them to be good children: generous, kind, warm-hearted, hard-working, ed, and not gossiping. We communicate well with each other. They are all very good children, very sensible and considerate. They all speak English outside, but I often speak Mandarin to them at home. Although they don't know many Chinese characters, they can speak Mandarin and Cantonese, as well as a lot of our native dialect, and they speak it very well! In particular, the eldest nephew Kevin also knows how to speak a lot of common sayings and proverbs, making me marvel! ???????????????? 　　母親節(jié)，喳喳送給我一個她親手做的美麗的賀卡 On Mother's Day, Ja Ja gave me a beautiful card made by her own hands: Dear Jianmei,Happy Mother’s Day to a great aunt!!Thank you for playing with me and taking care of me ever since I was a little girl.
