At
the age of nine, I was both fascinated and excited to be part of such a
significant transition. Cyprus was majestic, and the idea of getting to know my
many cousins who lived there, brought me great delight. Little did I know that
the excitement would be short lived.
九歲的時候,
在這個重大的轉變中我感到著迷與興奮.
塞浦路斯是憧憬的,
想到能認識許多住在那的表兄弟姊妹讓我很高興.
但我卻不知道興奮的感覺是那麼的短暫.
The
first year went by smoothly. My father had enrolled my younger sister and me in
an Americanized school called American Academy. There I adjusted very well. The
majority of my classes were in English, with the exception of the language
class which was in Greek. I enjoyed school and had made friends who reminded me
of the ones I had left behind in the States (since they too were of a similar background
to my own).
第一年過得很平順.
我的父親給我妹妹和我去一間叫美國學園的美式學校上學.在那裡我調整得很好.除了語言課是用希臘話,多數的課是用英文上的.我很喜歡上學,也交了許多朋友,(因為與我有相似的背景)他們使我想起我留在美國的朋友.
Everything
was going well--the climate was far more pleasant sans the harsh winters of
Upstate New York, I was given the opportunity to become acquainted with family
I had only known through pictures and the occasional phone call, and I had a slice
of home in my school. But as most things in life, this too would change.
一切都很順利,這裡的氣候很怡人沒有紐約上州的無情寒冬,我也有機會與我在照片及偶爾的電話裡知道的親人們更加熟識,而且我在學校有一點點家的感覺.但就像生命裡的許多事,這也是會改變的.
