Unit 2 The Struggle to Be an All-American Girl

It’s still there, the Chinese school on Yale Street where my brother and I used to go. Despite the new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew 10 years ago remains remarkably, stoically the same.

我们之前上过的那所中文学校还在我和哥哥常去的耶鲁大街上。尽管外墙经过重新粉刷，并且周围有搞搞的铁丝栅栏，但是十年前我所知道的那个学校现在出奇地依然如故，一点没变。Every day at 5 P.M., instead of playing with our fourth- and fifth-grade friends or sneaking out to the empty lot to hunt ghosts and animal bones, my brother and I had to go to Chinese school. No amount of kicking, screaming, or pleading could dissuade my mother, who was solidly determined to have us learn the language of our heritage.

每天下午5点,我和哥哥不得不去汉语学校，而不是和四、五年级的同学们一起玩或溜出去到空地上捉鬼寻骨。不管我们怎么不情愿，踢东西也好，乱叫也好，央求也罢，都说动不了妈妈，她铁了心地要我们去学祖宗传承给我们的语言。

Forcibly, she walked us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school, depositing our defiant tearful faces before the stern principal. My only memory of him is that he swayed on his heels like a palm tree, and he always clasped his impatient twitching hands behind his back. I recognized him as a repressed maniacal child killer, and knew that if we ever saw his hands we’d be in big trouble. 从我们家到汉语学校相隔七个长长的街区，沿路有好多小山丘，妈妈赶着我们走过这段路程，最后把我们送到那位严厉的校长面前。这时我们泪流满面，满脸写着不情愿。我对校长的唯一印象是他站在我们面前踮着脚后跟摇摆时，就像一棵棕榈树,而且他总是将他那双不停抽搐的手紧紧扣在背后。在我眼里，他就是一个急不可耐的残杀孩子的凶手,还认为如果我们看到他的手,就会遇到大麻烦。

We all sat in little chairs in an empty auditorium. The room smelled like Chinese medicine, an imported faraway mustiness. Like ancient mothballs or dirty closets.

I hated that smell. I favored crisp new scents. Like the soft French perfume that my American teacher wore in public school.

我们都坐在一个小椅子上，礼堂空荡荡的。屋里散发出好似一股中药味，一种平时很难遇到的难闻的霉味。也好似放了很久的卫生球味或者是脏兮兮的衣柜壁橱味。我讨厌那种气味。我喜欢宜人的香味，它就像我在公立学校的美国老师身上散发的淡淡的法国香水味。Although the emphasis at the school was mainly language-speaking, reading, writing-the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness. With the entrance of the teacher, the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up, kowtow, and chant, “Sing san ho,” the phonetic for “How are you, teacher?”

尽管学校教学的重点主要是语言—口语、阅读、写作—每堂课总是从练习礼仪开始。随着老师走进课堂,班长总要轻摇一下铃,大家随即起身,磕头并齐道,“先生好,”这一串汉语音符就是给老师请安的意思。

Being ten years old, I had better things to learn than ideographs copied painstakingly in lines that ran right to left from the tip of a moc but, a real ink pen that had to be held in an awkward way if blotches were to be avoided. After all, I could do the multiplication tables, name the satellites of Mars, and write reports on Little Women and Black Beauty. Nancy Drew, my favorite heroine, never spoke

Chinese.

十岁的人了,我还有比象形文字更重要的东西要学，而不是用毛笔从右到左一行行吃力地抄写汉字，那可真叫墨水笔,如果你不想纸上留有墨墨点点的墨渍，你就要用一种笨拙的方式握笔。话说回来，除了练毛笔字，我还能背出乘法表,给火星上的卫星命个名,写篇有关《小妇人》和《黑美人》这两部小说的读书报告。南茜朱尔是我最喜欢的一本书中的女主人公,她从来不说汉语。

The language was a source of embarrassment. More times than not, I had tried to disassociate myself from the nagging loud voice that followed me wherever I wandered in the nearby American supermarket outside Chinatown. The voice belonged to my grandmother, a fragile woman in her seventies who would outshout the best of street vendors. Her humor was raunchy, her Chinese rhythmless and patternless. It was quick, it was loud, it was unbeautiful. It was not like the quiet, lilting romance of French or the gentle refinement of the American South. Chinese sounded pedestrian. Public. 汉语给我带来了尴尬和难堪。出入唐人街不远处有个美国人经营的超市，我在超市的任何一个地方转悠，身后都会传来那个唠唠叨叨吵人的声音。此声音来自我的祖母,她年逾七旬，弱不禁风，但她的声音能盖过嗓门最大的沿街叫卖的小贩的声音。她的幽默极为粗俗，她说的汉语拖泥带水，缺少节奏感。她不会语法规则，但是却说得很快，而且声音很大,一点儿也不悦耳。她的汉语不像法语听起来轻柔舒缓，抑扬顿挫，富有浪漫气息；也不像美国南方人讲话声音柔和，用词高雅。而我的祖母，两者都不像，她的汉语听起来没有磁性，没有特色。

In Chinatown, the comings and goings of hundreds of Chinese on their daily tasks sounded chaotic and frenzied. I did not want to be thought of as mad, as talking gibberish. When I spoke English, people nodded at me, smiled sweetly, said encouraging words. Even the people in my culture would cluck and say that I’d do well in life. “My, doesn?t she move her lips fast,” they would say, meaning that I’d be able to keep up with the word outside Chinatown.

在唐人街，每天有数以千计的华人来来往往，忙于自己的事务，给人一种忙碌躁动的感觉。我可不想像他们那样被人看成是个疯了傻了爱扯闲话之人。当我用英语说话的时候，人们向我点头并甜甜地微笑，说一些鼓励我的话。甚至华人也啧啧称赞，说我将来会有出息。“天哪，你看她嘴唇（动得好快）多灵巧，”他们总会这么说，这就意味着我将能够融入唐人街外面的世界。

My brother was even more fanatical than I about speaking English. He was especially hard on my mother, criticizing her, often cruelly, for her pidgin speech—smatterings of Chinese scattered like chop suey in her conversation. “It’s not ‘What it is,’Mom,” he’d say in exasperation.“It’s ‘What is it, what is it, what is it! Sometimes Mom might leave out an occasional “the” or “a”, or perhaps a verb of being. He would stop her in mid-sentence: “Say it again, Mom. Say it right.”When he tripped over his own tongue, he’d blame it on her: “See, Mom, it’s all your fault. You set a bad example.”

我的哥哥甚至比我更加热衷于说英语。我的妈妈英语很烂，话语中会零星夹杂着汉语或中文，如“杂碎”一词，哥哥因此对妈妈很苛刻，批评她起来常常不留面子。他总是恼怒地说道，What it is,’妈妈, 是‘What is it, what is it, what is it!’”有时候妈妈可能遗漏“the”或“a”,或者一个be动词的进行态。这时哥哥总会打断她的话:“再说一遍,妈妈。说正确了。”当他自己英语说得稍有差错时，他就会责怪妈妈:“看哪,妈妈,

都怪你没有你树立一个好榜样。”

What infuriated my mother most was when my brother cornered her on her consonants, especially “r”. My father had played a cruel joke on Mom by assigning her an American name that her tongue wouldn’t allow her to say. No matter how hard she tried, “Ruth”always ended up “Luth”or “Roof”.

最让母亲受不了的，就是哥哥对她发的辅音尤其是“r”这个音纠正起来不依不饶，让她脸面尽失。这个全怪爸爸开我妈妈的玩笑太狠了，他让妈妈读她舌头根本绕不过来的一个美国人的名字。不管妈妈怎么努力，“Ruth”这个名字最后总是读成“Luth”或者“Roof”。After two years of writing with a moc but and reciting words with multiples of meanings, I finally was granted a cultural divorce. I was permitted to stop Chinese school.

学了两年的毛笔字，也背了两年的汉语多义字，最后我被允许不再接触中国文化，不再去上汉语学校。

I thought of myself as multicultural. I preferred tacos to egg rolls; I enjoyed Cinco de Mayo more than Chinese New Year.

我觉得自己是多元文化的。我更喜欢蛋卷玉米饼;我喜欢五月节胜于春节。

At last, I was one of you; I wasn’t one of them.

到最后,我以为自己是一个美国人,而不是一个中国人。

Sadly, I still am.

遗憾的是,我现在依旧还是中国人。

高中英语：解析目的状语的几种用法

高中英语：解析目的状语的几种用法一、用to do sth表目的用不定式表目的是最简单也是最常用的方法，它既可以用于句末，也可用于句首，但比较而言，用于句首时，其强调意味较浓。如： After missing a term through illness he had to work hard to catch up with the others. 他因病一学期未上课，得努力赶上其他同学。 To avoid any delay please phone your order direct. 为免延误，请直接打电话预订。 To keep themselves awake they sat on the floor and told each other stories. 为了不至于睡着，他们坐在地板上轮流着讲故事。 To avoid back problems，always bend your knees when you lift heavy objects. 为了不使背部受伤，你在扛重东西时，一定要将膝盖弯曲着。不定式的否定式为not to do sth，而不是to not do sth。如： She had to struggle not to give in to a desire to laugh. 她极力控制自己不要笑出来。 Then there was the mad rush not to be late for school. 然后就是匆忙往学校赶，以免迟到。

I went to France not to study French，but to study architecture. 我去法国不是为了学法语，而是为了学建筑。 He claimed he had bought the cigarettes for home consumption，not to sell them. 他声称他买烟是为了自家享用，不是为了出售。二、用so as to do sth表目的 so as to do sth是to do sth的变体，意思是“以便”“为了”“为的是”等。用so as to do sth表示目的时，它通常用于句末。如： I left a message so as to be sure of contacting her. 我留下了张条子以便与她取得联系 The two lovers dropped back so as to be alone. 那对情人落在后面，为的是两人好单独在一起。 I always keep fruit in the fridge so as to keep insects off it. 我总是把水果放在冰箱里，以防虫子叮咬。表示目的的so as to do sth有时也可放在句首（但是若so as to do sth 是表示结果，则不可放在句首）。如： So as to show his boss what a careful worker he was，he took extra trouble over the figures. 为了向老板显示他是个工作非常细心的人，他在这些数字上费了比平常更多的力气。

不定式用法详解

不定式用法详解定义：在句子中充当除了谓语以外的各种句子成分的动词形式叫做非谓语动词。非谓语动词有三种：不定式，动名词，分词。注：非谓语动词具有时态和语态的变化，可以同否定词not连用，构成否定形式，可以带宾语，状语，补语。非谓语动词的名词，形容词，副词的特征；可用在句中做主语，宾语，补语，状语，和定语等。 —不定式（原形动词前加to, 构成动词不定式。不定式不做谓语，属于非谓语动词）不定式的时态，语态一般式：不定式所表示的动作和谓语动词所表示的动作或状态同时发生或几乎同时发生或存在。但多数情况下是在谓语动词所表示的动作之后发生。 e.g :They often watch us play football. (同时) She hopes to go there again. (之后发生) 完成式：不定式所表示的动作或状态发生在谓语动词所表示动作或状态之前。 e.g : I’m glad to have seen your mother yesterday 注：1）用在intended, expected, meant, hoped. promised, wanted, planned. wished. thought, desired, was, were等后，表示过去没有实现的愿望，期待或计划的等，也用来表示先于谓语动词发生的动作或状态。 e.g: He wanted to have met (=had wanted to meet) you at the airport,but he didn’t get there in time. 他原想去机场接你（事情已经发生），但他没及时赶到那儿。（没接成） e.g: We planned to have done (had planned to do) good deeds for the poor people last month. 我们原计划上个月为贫困的人们作些好事。（没作成）。

Section ⅡGrammar 时间、条件和让步状语从句时间、条件和让步状语从句在高考中约占3分，考查形式主要有单选、完型填空、语篇填空和改错，主要考察这三种从句中的引导词、谓语动词。幻灯片3 一、时间状语从句 1．no sooner...than与hardly...when 都表示主句与从句的动作相继发生，意为“一……就……，刚刚……就”，主句动词用过去完成时。如no sooner，hardly位于句首时，主句用倒装形式。 He had hardly gone to bed when the doorbell rang. ＝Hardly had he gone to bed when the doorbell rang. 他刚睡下门铃就响了。 No sooner had he got off the train than his daughter ran towards him. 他刚下火车，他女儿就向他跑了过来。幻灯片4 2．as soon as，the moment，immediately 引导的从句表示从句动作一发生，主句动作随即发生，常译为“一……就”。名词词组the second，the minute，the moment，every time，any time，next time，the first/last time，the day/week/month等亦可作连词，引导时间状语从句。 They told me about it as soon as/immediately/the moment they got the message.他们一听到口信就把消息告诉了我。 Every time he walked by the lake，he thought of his childhood life.每当他走过那个湖时，就会想起童年的生活。注意：immediately可用做连词也可用做副词。幻灯片5 3．till和until 词义是“直到……，一直……为止”，表示一个动作持续到某一时刻或某一动作发生为止，在句首只能用until。在肯定句中，主句中要用延续性动词；在否定句中，可以用非延续性动词。 She stood there till/until he had passed out of sight. 她站在那里看着，直到望不见他的身影。 Until they had finished the work，they did not go home. ＝Not until they had finished the work did they go home. 直到工作完成了他们才回家。幻灯片6 注意：(1)在not...until结构中not until位于句首时主句部分倒装。在强调句中，强调until引导时间状语时，常把not提前，构成It isn’t/wasn’t until...that...。(2)not...until和not...before意思相同，表示“直到……才，在……以前不”。幻灯片7
