Chapter One 第一章08

> 我媽從「聯合水果公司」領到了一點兒撫恤金，而且她還把我們的房子分租出去，所以我們的日子還過得去。我小時候，她總是把我關在屋裡，免得其他小孩子騷擾我。夏天下午，天氣熱壞了，她會把我安頓在客廳里，拉上窗帘，讓房間暗一點，涼快些，再給我弄杯檸檬汁。然後她就坐在那兒跟我聊天，就那麼一直說個不停，也沒什麼特別的話題，就好像一般人跟貓狗說話那樣。不過我也習慣了，而且蠻喜歡，因為她的聲音讓我覺得非常安全而舒服。

> My mama got a little pension from the United Fruit people and she took in boarders at our house, so we got by okay. When I was little, she kept me inside a lot, so as the other kids wouldn t bother me. In the summer afternoons, when it was real hot, she used to put me down in the parlor and pull the shades so it was dark and cool and fix me a pitcher of limeade. Then she d set there and talk to me, jus talk on and on bout nothin in particular, like a person ll talk to a dog or cat, but I got used to it and liked it cause her voice made me feel real safe and nice.

> Vocabulary: pension 撫恤金 boarder 租房子的人 parlor 客廳 shade 遮簾（美國英語）
