《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《中国女孩耶鲁梦》这本书是一本半自传小说,是一个中国女孩的美国奋斗史,内容简单可以概括为: 身在美国的贫穷中国女孩,最终成长为耶鲁大学的高材生。因为一场家庭变故,11岁的阿金不得不随母亲到美国投靠亲戚。然而,在这个看起来遍地都是黄金和梦想的国家,迎接她的是前所...
评分这本书写了一个亚裔女孩移民到美国的奋斗史。书中女主人公在和母亲相依为命的生活中表现出了勇敢坚强等等美好品质。但是,这些描写也太夸张了,作者着力渲染铺垫的部分真做作。总之,刚开始看这本书时觉得很激励人,很同情书中女孩的遭遇,但是看着看着就变成了一本极力夸...

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.
