On a Chinese New Year's Eve,my uncle spoke to me in Chinese,but all I could do was __25__ at him,confused,scratching my head.“ Still can't speak Chinese?”He__26__ me,“You can't even buy a fish in Chinatown.”
“Hey,this is America,not China.I'll get some __27__ with or without Chinese.”I replied and turned to my mom for __28__.
“Remember to ask for fresh fish,Xin Xian Yu,”she said,handing over a $20 bill.I __29__ the words,running downstairs into the streets of Chinatown.
I found the fish __30__ surrounded in a sea of customers.“I'd like to buy some fresh fish,”I shouted to the fishman.But he __31__ my English words and turned to serve the next customer.The laugh of the people behind increased __32__ their impatience.With every __33__,the breath of the dragons(龙)on my back grew stronger—my blood boiling—__34__ me to cry out,“Xian Sheng Yu,please.”“Very Xian Sheng,”I repeated.The crowd erupted into laughter.My face turned __35__ and I ran back home __36__,except for the $20 bill I held tightly in my pocket.
Should I laugh or cry?They're Chinese.I'm Chinese. I should feel right at __37__.Instead,I was the joke,a disgrace(丢脸)to the language.
Sometimes,I laugh at my fish __38__,but,in the end.the joke is on __39__.Every laugh is a culture __40__;every laugh is my heritage(传统)fading away.
