I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

我寄出了那封信并且等待着她的答复，却并没有收到回信。

My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn?t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

我的希望变成了失望，然后很小的期待，最后，平静——似乎什么都不会发生。我不能确定那封信已经寄到母亲手中。我仅仅知道我写过那封信，我不能试图阻止她变成她不想成为的人。 Now the present of her desk told, as she?d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.

现在，她让她的书桌表明，她很高兴我现在的工作是写作，尽管她从没做到。我把书桌仔细清理好，并且发现一些纸在里面——一张我父亲的照片和一张单页的信，被折叠着而且被看过很多遍了。

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words. 以任何你选择的方式，是我的信所问的问题的回复。妈妈，你总是选择用行动说明而不是语言。 4

My parents taught me not to waste food. My mum always found ways to make leftovers (剩余食物) taste good. I went to I1an to learn about some of their special food.
