在廉价药店里，任何有色人种都不准坐在柜台或桌子旁，我父亲是个例外。

At the Cut-Rate Drug Store, no one colored was allowed to sit down at the counter or tables, with one exception: my father.

这是我第一次在桌子旁吃饭。

It was the first time sitting at a table eating.

每到这时候，我就和姐妹们坐在桌子的一旁，相互传递苹果酱，在热烘烘的面包上抹上一层。

By now, my sisters have joined me at one end of the table where we pass the apple butter to each other to slather on the warm bread.
