题目内容

Born in America, I spoke English, not Chinese, the language of my ancestors (祖先). When I was three, my parents began to teach me Chinese with colorful picture cards, but I pushed them aside, My mom believed I would learn when I was ready. But the time never came

On a Chinese New Year's Eve, my uncle spoke to me in Chinese, but I just stared at him, confused, shaking my head. "Still can't speak Chinese?” He said, "You can't even buy a fish in Chinatown(唐人街)”.

“Hey, this is America, not China. I'll get some right now with or without Chinese.” I replied and turned to my mom for permission.

“Remember to ask for fresh fish, Xin Xian Yu, " she said, giving me a $20 bill. I repeated the words, running downstairs into the streets of Chinatown.

I found the fish store soon. It was very crowded. I'd like to buy some fresh fish, I shouted to the man. But he paid no attention to my English words and turned to serve the next customer. People behind laughed at me. I felt angry, “fresh fish. Xian Sheng Yu, please.” “Very Xian Sheng,” I repeated. The crowd laughed even louder. My face turned red and I ran back home empty-handed, except for the $20 bill in my pocket.
