In the summer of my eleventh year the home I had grown up in burned to the ground in the middle of the night.
11岁的时候,我住的房子在半夜三更被烧成了灰烬,那里曾是我长大的地方。
Thankfully, my Mom, Dad, Nana, brothers, and I escaped along with our dogs.
幸运的是,我的爸爸、妈妈、奶奶、几个哥哥,还有我,包括我们养的几条狗,都逃了出来。
Yet, we had nothing but the night clothes we were sleeping in.
不过,除了穿着睡觉的一身睡衣,我们也一无所剩了。
I spent the rest of that night with friends of our family trying unsuccessfully to sleep in a bed in their attic .
我们借宿到了一个朋友家里,住在他们的阁楼上,那天的后半夜,我躺在床上辗转难眠。
I was too scared to doze off, though. I didn’t know what lay ahead for us.
我太害怕了,不敢睡着。我不知道在未来等待着我们的是怎样的命运。
The next day my Mom brought me a few t-shirts and pairs of jeans given to her by another friend.
第二天,我妈妈给我带回了几件T恤,还有几条裤子,这是她的另一个朋友送给她的。
One pair of them was too short and the other pair too long but I didn’t care. At least I had some clothes again.
其中一条牛仔裤非常短,另外一条又太长了,可是我并不在意。至少我又有衣服穿了。
