Part1原题呈现:
They don't mean it
Our family moved here from China two years ago, and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways. This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.
The party went pretty well. Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods. After the dinner they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.
"I loved the dishes. You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work." Mrs.O’Meara said to my mother.
“The girls helped with the cutting and I'm sorry they did such a terrible job."said Mother.
I heard a little gasp(倒吸气) from my friend Kim O’Meara, who stared wide-eyes at Mother. When I asked what the matter was, she told me she just didn’t understand why my mother said so.
I had to laugh."She doesn't mean it. It’s just the way she talks."
Seeing her still confused, I went on explaining, “In China, parents consider it good manners to deny praises bout their children. Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging(自夸)." Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.
That Easter, the O’Meara invited our family for dinner. Mrs O’Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot. As Mrs. O'Meara started cutting the cake for dessert, Mother said," I'm not sure if l can eat one more bite.That was the best ham I've ever tasted!"
"Aw, that ham was terrible,"said Kim."I bet you could do a lot better, Mrs. Yang."
