参考译文：
有一天，我们家庭晚餐。当大人们在外面忙着严肃的谈话时，我一个人留在厨房里帮奶奶洗碗。像往常一样，我的祖母会给我讲她童年的故事。
我的祖母出生在第二次世界大战之前，她的童年生活方式与我的完全不同。她没有机会上学。就像在典型的家庭里，男孩比女孩更受宠爱，我奶奶不得不呆在家里做家务。她唯一能抓住的学习机会是她的兄弟和家庭教师一起上中文课的时候。她会静静地坐在长长的餐桌的另一头，仔细地听着。这种训练教会了她倒过来读和写中文——这是一项非常实用的技能，尤其是当我们看同一张报纸的时候。在大多数周末，我的祖母，那时还是跟小女孩，和她的兄弟去海滩。在那里，他们会穿过深水，盘腿坐在水下，屏住呼吸，看着周围发生的一切。让我佩服的一点是——她能在水下睁开眼睛，还能舒服地坐在海底。
与她的童年相比，我的童年要快乐得多。我很感激我没有像她那样经历苦难。我从来没有遇到过教育的问题。我想，我们不同的童年经历正是让我的祖母成为一位非常值得交谈的人的原因：她的故事总能让我的历史课本变得生动起来。
