When I had finished studying, I lay back in the starched sheets of the bed and wondered what it was like for those classmates of mine, who had grown up with the ability to spend thousands of dollars on clothing, to go on trips to big cities to see expensive shows and blow even more money on fancy restaurants and stores. Who went to summer camp, private schools, who lived in big houses with maids and housekeepers, who went on vacation to foreign countries, staying in beautiful hotels.
当我学习完,躺在浆洗过的床单上,想着那些同学的生活,那些有着优越的家境、有能力承担数千美元的衣服开销、去大城市旅行、看价格昂贵的演出和砸很多钱在高档餐厅和商场的同学。那些参加夏令营、上私立学校、又或是住在有着女佣和管家的大房子、去国外度假、住在漂亮的酒店里的同学们。
To be very honest, I find it fascinating to be surrounded by classmates who come from wealth like I have never experienced. I’m not embarrassed for being unable to afford the things some of my classmates buy dozens of through online shopping. I’m not embarrassed for growing up being told “no” again and again, because my family simply didn’t have enough money.
说实话,我觉得身边围绕着很多有着我从未经历过的富裕生活的同学很有意思。尽管我的一些同学会通过网上购物买一堆这样的东西,我不为自己买不起东西而感到尴尬。我也不因为我的家庭并不富裕,而一次又一次地拒绝别人的邀请而感到尴尬。
