8、How could my home be in a little village in Poland, more than four thousand miles away from where I was born and raised? My home was in Brooklyn, New York. That was where my friends were, that was where I went to school, and that was surely where my home was.,In-depth Reading,3 As years passed, howe

9、ver, I continued to visit my grandmother every summer in that very same Polish village. I was not entirely sure what compelled me to return year after year. But I have realized now that I kept coming back because, consciously or not, I knew there was a certain truth in those words that my grandmothe

10、r uttered to me on that warm summer evening.,4 My Polish culture has always been a huge part of my life. My parents immigrated to the United States in 1994, only two years before I was born.

13、turday morning, I eagerly skipped along to the Henryk Sienkiewicz Polish School in Brooklyn.,In-depth Reading,5 It didnt bother me that I had to go to school six days a week instead of five, for I valued the time spent among my Polish teachers and classmates.

It was here that I acquired friendships which I cherish to this day.,6 As time progressed, however, and as my English became

16、le to. My parents also noticed this change, but they refused to let me forget my native language.

19、o the person that I am today and has taught me values of family and community that will remain with me throughout my entire life.,In-depth Reading,記住家之所在 1 “不論你在世界上的什么地方，不論生活可能會帶你去往何處，要記?。耗愕募覍⒂肋h(yuǎn)在這里”。 2 在一個夏日的夜晚，奶奶讓我坐下，告訴我這番話。但是，作為一個十歲的小女孩，我不明白這話是什么意思。我的家怎么可能是在波蘭的一個小村子里呢？它離我出生和成長的地方至少有四千英里之遙。我的家在紐約的布

20、魯克林，那兒有我的朋友，是我上學(xué)的地方，當(dāng)然就是我的家之所在。 3 然而，時間在流逝，我每年夏天都會去往那個波蘭的村莊看望我的祖母。我過去不能完全確定究竟是什么促使我一年又一年去那兒。但是現(xiàn)在我知道了，我總回去是因為我明白（不管是否有意識地）有某種真相存在于那個溫暖的夏夜奶奶所告訴我的那番話里。,參考譯文：,In-depth Reading,4 波蘭文化一直都是我生活中的一個重要組成部分。我的父母于1994 年移民到美國，僅僅兩年之后我便出生了。因為那時他們的英語詞匯量相對有限，所以我在成長的過程中只講波蘭語。我學(xué)到的所有英語單詞都是巴尼教的，它是電視里的那只最快樂的恐龍。遺憾的是，盡管我把巴

21、尼的那些朗朗上口的歌詞全都記入了腦海，但是當(dāng)我進入學(xué)前班的時候，我的語言障礙還是很明顯。我不能明白為什么沒有同學(xué)在早餐時吃gofry（波蘭語“華夫餅”），或者為什么我每次在課間提議玩zabawa w chowanego（捉迷藏）的時候，他們都茫然地望著我。雖然我平日的生活里充滿了此類挑戰(zhàn)，但是我的周末卻是完全不同的經(jīng)歷。每個周六的早上，我會興高采烈地一路蹦跳著去上位于布魯克林的亨利克 顯克維奇波蘭語學(xué)校。,In-depth Reading,5 我并不介意每周必須上六天學(xué)，而不是五天，因為我珍惜與波蘭語老師和同學(xué)們一起度過的時光。當(dāng)我提出要去ubikacja（衛(wèi)生間）的時候，老師明白我的意思；當(dāng)

22、我把午餐落在家里的時候，同學(xué)們總是愿意與我分享他們的kanapki（三明治），這些都讓我感到舒適。在這里，我獲得了珍惜至今的友誼。,6 但是，隨著時間的流逝，我的英語變得原來越流利，態(tài)度也發(fā)生了變化。波蘭語學(xué)校每周一天的學(xué)習(xí)不能與英語學(xué)校每周五天的學(xué)習(xí)相比了。,In-depth Reading,7 我很快意識到，我不能再像原來那樣輕松而流暢地用波蘭語表達自己的想法了。我的父母也注意到這這一變化，但是他們不愿讓我忘記自己的母語。他們繼續(xù)送我去波蘭語學(xué)校，與我一起讀波蘭語書，不時地糾正我說話時的語法錯誤。他們還要確保我可以得到完整的文化體驗，鼓勵我參加每次普瓦斯基紀(jì)念日的游行，參加很多傳統(tǒng)的波蘭語

23、講故事比賽。最重要的是，他們每年夏天都送我回波蘭，讓我熟悉重要的地標(biāo)和拜訪其他的家族成員。對他們的不懈努力，我無比感激。,In-depth Reading,8 盡管波蘭語不再是我的主要語言，但波蘭將永遠(yuǎn)是我的根。它體現(xiàn)在我日常生活中的每個方面，從習(xí)慣的食品到傳統(tǒng)的音樂。波蘭血統(tǒng)把我塑造成了今天的我，并且教會了我家庭和集體的價值，這些都將伴隨我的一生。,In-depth Reading,Part 1 ( 1 3) is the start of the whole story.,Part 2 ( 4 7) is a flashback describing her childhood story
