父亲说当时他真想把我接回家,但他不能那么做,他只能在寒风中送给我一顶木制头盔,因为他要让我成为一名真正的男子汉。我16岁那年的冬天,父亲让我利用寒假到外面打工。他与做建筑承包商的朋友说好了,让我去建筑工地做帮工,每小时付给我95美分的工钱。我并不想去打工,好不容易才放寒假,我希望能和朋友一起开车兜兜风,或是站在百货商店的门前, My father said he really wanted to take me home at that time, but he could not do that. He could only give me a wooden helmet in the cold because he wanted me to be a real man. My winter 16 years old, my father let me use the winter vacation to work outside. He and the building contractor friend said good, let me go to the construction site to help workers, pay me 95 cents per hour wages. I did not want to go to work and finally took a winter vacation. I hoped to drive a ride with my friends or stand in front of department stores.
