Now I consider her father and mother, her aunts and uncles, as my family-people who love me and whom I love.

她的父母、叔叔、阿姨像我的家人一样爱着我，当然我也爱他们。

But when I call my aunts and uncles, they tell me not to mourn - that they didn't waste their blood, that they died for a good cause.

但是当我打电话给我的叔叔阿姨的时候，他们告诉我不要悲伤不要哀悼——他们并没有白白浪费他们的鲜血，他们为正义而死，死得很伟大。

All my aunts and uncles talked it over as if they were choosing a prep schoolfor me, and finally said, “Why—ye—es, ” with very grave, hesitant faces.

叔父姨母们如同给我挑选私立小学，讨论半天，表情凝重而犹疑，终于开口：“呃——好——吧——”。

When I was a child the adults around me, my great-aunts and uncles, would always say things about what I might be when I grew up.
