标题：第12期:我的名字(1)

内容：
My name 1In English my name means hope.

In Spanish it means too many letters.

It means sadness, it means waiting.

It is like the number nine.

A muddy color.

It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing.

It was my great-grandmothers name and now it is mine.

She was a horse woman too, born like me in the Chinese year of horse―which is supposed to be bad luck if youre born female―but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese, like the Mexicans, dont like their women strong.

My great-grandmother.

I wouldve liked to have known her, a wild horse of a woman, so wild she wouldnt marry.

Until my great-grandfather threw a sack over her head and carried her off.

Just that, as if she were a fancy chandelier.

Thats the way he did it.

我的名字 1在英语里，我的名字的意思是希望。

在西班牙语里，它意味着太多的字母。

它意味着哀伤，意味着等待。

它就像数字九。

一种泥泞的色彩。

它是没到星期天早晨，爸爸刮胡子是播放的墨西哥唱片，呜咽的歌。

它过去是我曾祖母的名字，现在是我的。

她也是一个属马的女人，和我一样，生在中国的马年――如果你生为女人，这会被认为是霉运――可是我想，这是个中国谎，因为，中国人和墨西哥人一样，不喜欢他们的女人强大。

我的曾祖母。

要是我见过她多好，女人中的野马，野得不想嫁人。

直到我的曾祖父用麻袋套住她的头把她扛走。

就那样扛着，好像她是一盏华贵的枝型吊灯。

那就是他的办法。
