我家是一个波多黎各大家庭,我是家里的长子,下面还有10个弟弟妹妹,从小生活在纽约城拥挤的租住房里,在生命的大部分时间, 我都在寻求片刻的孤独。此时此刻,终于,这个27岁的大学生,结束了一段7年的恋情,得到了他想要的孤独,可他却怎么也高兴不起来。我想一个人静一静,但不是在圣诞节。我的家人已经返回了波多黎各,我的朋友都放假回家了,我认识的人都有自己的生活要过。天色晚了,想到要回去那空落落的宿舍,眼泪就不争气 的冒了出来。城市住家的灯火点亮起来,从门窗透出的闪烁灯光仿佛在召唤着我,我多希望有人会打开房门,邀请我走进那温暖的房间,房间一角是一株圣诞树,圣诞彩条将它装饰的绚烂华丽,天鹅绒的树摆上点缀着闪亮的雪花和包裹好的礼物
I stopped at the local market, feeling even more depressed as people filled their baskets with goodies. Dates and dried figs, walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts in their shells reminded me of the gifts we received as children in Puerto Rico on Christmas Day, because the big gifts were given on the morning of the Feast of the Epiphany, on January 6. I missed my family: their rambunctious parties; the dancing; the mounds of rice with pigeon peas; the crusty, garlicky skin on the pork roast; the plantain and yucca pasteles wrapped in banana leaves. I wanted to cry for wanting to be alone and for having achieved it.
