Suddenly my father and I were newcomers— outsiders.To the others around us, we spoke with funny northern accents.

突然间父亲和我成了“新移民”——外地人。对周围的人来说，我们说话带着滑稽的北方口音。

The only apartment we could find for the money we had was in an unheated building, with five families sharing one bathroom.

我们的钱不多，只能租得起没有供暖的居民楼，与5家共用一个卫生间。

My father cooked, cleaned and looked after me.He became a housewife, basically.

我父亲做饭、打扫卫生还照顾我。他基本上成了一个“家庭主妇”。

We lived far from my school, and since the bus was too expensive, my father would“drive”me on his bicycle every day.It was an hour-and-a-half trip each way, and I was a heavy boy, much heavier than I am as an adult.He did this in winter too.Imagine!

我们的住处离学校很远，乘公交车太贵，父亲就每天“驾驶”自行车送我去学琴，单程就需要一个半小时，我当时还很胖，体重比我现在还重。一年四季，天天如此，真不敢想象啊!

During the coldest nights, while I practiced piano, my father lay in my bed so it would be warm when I was tired.

当我在数九寒天的夜里练琴时，父亲就躺在我的床上，这样等我累了就可以睡在暖和的被窝里了。
