用这个评论标题似乎有点过火,可是读完这本美籍华人郭珍芳以自己的真实人生而写就的《中国女孩耶鲁梦》,我的感受就是如此。我们很容易羡慕美籍华人的生活,就算已经了解过他们的艰辛奋斗史,这种羡慕也是在所难免。这本自传体的女孩成长史彻底扭转了我的想法,真的是没...
评分《中国女孩耶鲁梦》一书的简介中称其为《风雨哈佛路》的姐妹篇,就这一点,就让我失了阅读的胃口。我本身读书少,一直以为自己对书的阅读偏好性并不强烈或者明显。可这本书却让我意识到,原来我自己潜意识里是不喜欢看励志类以及成功学类的书籍(当然也可以说,我单凭书...

评分每个人心中都有一个神圣的地方,那里承载着我们沉甸甸的梦想。在漫步寻梦的征程中,许多人都会出现短暂的停歇。因为在那梦想娇艳的鲜花后面,往往涌动着滔天的巨浪,并伴随暴风骤雨像我们袭来,敲到着我们追寻梦想的翅膀。这时,一些意志不坚定的人会渐渐开始反思为什么要这么...

Introducing a fresh, exciting Chinese-American voice, an inspiring debut about an immigrant girl forced to choose between two worlds and two futures.
When Kimberly Chang and her mother emigrate from Hong Kong to Brooklyn squalor, she quickly begins a secret double life: exceptional schoolgirl during the day, Chinatown sweatshop worker in the evenings. Disguising the more difficult truths of her life-like the staggering degree of her poverty, the weight of her family's future resting on her shoulders, or her secret love for a factory boy who shares none of her talent or ambition-Kimberly learns to constantly translate not just her language but herself back and forth between the worlds she straddles.
Through Kimberly's story, author Jean Kwok, who also emigrated from Hong Kong as a young girl, brings to the page the lives of countless immigrants who are caught between the pressure to succeed in America, their duty to their family, and their own personal desires, exposing a world that we rarely hear about. Written in an indelible voice that dramatizes the tensions of an immigrant girl growing up between two cultures, surrounded by a language and world only half understood, Girl in Translation is an unforgettable and classic novel of an American immigrant-a moving tale of hardship and triumph, heartbreak and love, and all that gets lost in translation.
