Susan暑假作文第六部分—后记小结及作者简介

 

小结

 

Susan 小哭译

 

我都在文集里写了啥?让我先来解释一下:

 

我拿掉了一两篇暑假里写的作文,因为它们太私人了不适合分享。通常我不觉得分享我的想法有什么不好,但是有些内容最好还是不要给别人读。另外,你们也不一定能理解,因为那是我专门为妈妈所写的一些命题作文。还有,我没有将非常短的中文写作(我当然不会拿进来)收集进来。还有,我写的小说的其它部分,也没有被收集进来。我的小说几乎要完成了。当我写完后,我自己会出版的。

 

然而,我收集进来的所有的东西,都是它们最原始的样子。我没有为取阅读者做点啥,因为那不是我的工作风格。对我来说,要么就这样,要么就算了,中间状态看起来则象……做假。

 

我真的希望你能喜欢这个写作集,但是如果你不喜欢,我也理解。不论如何,我还是会继续写下去,不管你怎么想。我会把这本写作集送给一些人。这是我自己的传统(始于第一个鼓励我写作的老师),给我的语文老师看看我暑假里的写作。我现在算是完成这个任务了。我妈妈也会把写作集我们家的一些亲密的朋友看。大部分人看起来对阅读这些挺有兴趣,所以我今年又写了。随着我的成长,这些写作集变得越来越长……所以我真的希望读这本写作集不会让你觉得乏味。

 

我想对父母说,特别特别地感谢你们,鼓励我(有时是要求我)每天都去写。现在,我再也不需要他们每天强迫我去写作了。我去写,是因为我想写,而不再是因为这是我每天的作业。还有,谢谢你们两位在我需要推动的时候给了我动力。我还要特别感谢妈妈,她是我的每一篇文章的第一个读者,她读了我写的每一个字。

 

还有,我想感谢所有提供给我写作素材的人们。谢谢马克牧师和中华友爱教会,谢谢我的朋友们,谢谢我在摩顿的老朋友,谢谢我谈论的那些书的作者,谢谢每一个让我的这些经历成为可能的人。还要谢谢GD(G龙,他是一个K-POP歌手,非常有天赋、自信并努力工作)1D乐队,在我写作时提供了背景音乐。谢谢!!

 

最后,谢谢你阅读了这些文字。如果你能喜欢,那太好了!如果你不喜欢,哪怕你说这些东西简直就是一堆垃圾我也不会介意,我也还是要感谢你阅读了我的文字(但是如果你不管我写的东西叫垃圾的话,我真的很感谢你)。

 

对不起,事实上我说假话了,刚才对你的感谢并不是我所给出的最后一个。我最后的并且是最大的感谢是献给上帝的。如果不是上帝,什么也不可能,绝对是什么也不可能。不论是我在高峰还是低谷,他都一直和我同行。我知道,如果没有他的帮助,实际上我什么都做不了。感谢赞美主。

 

感谢上帝,因为他是好的;他的爱直到永远。 ----历王记 1634

 

作者简介(我自己)

 

Susan 小哭译

 

通常这部分内容都是作者以外的人写的,或者是作者以第三人称写的。但是我想亲自以第一人称写。必竟,讨论我自己是最有意思的话题,不是吗?

 

认真地说,在你阅读了那么多我的作文之后,如果你还不了解我……那我告诉你我头脑中的一个闪念吧(象征性地说哈),如果你还是说你不知道我,我不得不说,我觉得被冒犯了:(

 

好啦,以下是你从我的那些写作中得不到的一些基本信息。我的原名是33,但是也叫Susan(那是我在中国上英语课时父母帮我起的英文名。我随便就用了,可是现在,即使我想改名,也改不了。因为太复杂了,因为很多人都知道我叫Susan)。我十三岁了,我的生日是20007月份。我在2008年从中国来到芝加哥;两、三个月后搬到了波士顿郊外的摩顿市;后来我又在一年半以前搬回了芝加哥地区,住在橡树园;接着又在2013年搬到了H村。是的,我搬过很多次家,这次是搬得比较远的。

 

我是一个基督徒,我在2013年的复活节受洗。我是1D演唱组合的忠诚粉丝(你可以从我之前写的东西中知道这一点),我也是K-pop的一个粉丝(主要是G龙和他的男孩乐队Big Bang。实际上他是我真正去听的唯一的K-pop。我非常地崇拜他,不论是从个人的角度还是从歌手的角度。顺便说一下关于我的另外一件事儿:我对于有着金色头发和风格有点疯狂的亚裔帅哥有种天生的喜爱)。我特别地害怕昆虫、虫子、蝴蝶、蜜蜂……等等。我现在住在H村。我写的很多东西,通常都是在我“有东西想说”的时候写的。虽然也有我没东西想说的时候,可是妈妈会给我一个题目去写。写那些东西有点困难,但是我还是写了。我真的、真的热爱写作,虽然我更热爱阅读。我喜欢电影,还有油管子,还有……不管什么吧。你已经知道了那些了。

 

好了!那就是我!能够想像出来了吧!

【小哭介绍背景】我非常喜欢这次整理Susan文集时,看到她已经把一本书所需要的那些前前后后的部分都准备好了。以前每年夏天我都要重复着这类提醒,重复多了,孩子不爱听, 可是不说吧,最后一刻总是搞得每个人都要围着她的文集忙得发疯。我还记得自己当时的感觉——很失落,觉得面对的孩子跟傻瓜也没差多少,至少在这一点上。

 

今年很不同。在她开始写的时候,我照样地提醒了一下,说最后的编辑工作会因为她开始不好好安排而手忙脚乱地。好像去年的编辑工作让Susan还心有余悸,所以这次她非常地听话,问我怎么提前就可以把最后的格式给规划好后,就照做了。她每天都把新写的一点点内容加进去,时不时地就更新一下目录看看写了多少。这让她感觉颇好,我的感觉也不错:)最后一天,她三下两下就把小结和简介给写完了,唯一有点美中不足的是,她今年的封皮设计得不太理想。但是整个文集还是有模有样的了。

 

Susan爸爸最后拿到打印出来的文集时,颇感意外。他说用了两个下班路上坐地铁的时间通读了一下Susan的文集,很为Susan自豪。虽然Susan自从五岁半起,就半年或者一年左右整理出来一本文集,可是Susan爸爸从来没有真正读过。这次大概是Susan的写作真的有一些内容可以吸引到爸爸了。总归这是令Susan颇受鼓舞的一件事吧。这趟波士顿之行,我让她带上一个文件夹,装好文集,随时拿出来给人“显摆”,结果第一个就显摆给新桥看了。后来随着旅途的进程,一路上几乎每天都会见到老朋友,就几乎每天都要给别人看,她就把文件夹放在随身的包里,每一次朋友的表扬都让她心里美滋滋的。她说为了这时候的感觉,之前的辛苦都是值得的:)

 

以上说的是形式,要说内容,我对Susan小结中所说的“不管别人评价如何,她都会继续写下去”颇感欣慰。是的,坚持做一件事情,最好有一个内心的驱动力,否则外界的反应可能就会成为行动的主宰。写作又不是做市场,还是要遵从自己的心,用不着太想着取悦哪一部分人。你再努力,其实也会有人说不好,何必在意那么多呢?自己有没有进步,其实不通过外界也是有办法判断出来的。对我自己想做的一些事儿,我就是这个态度。可是Susan她才十三岁,她能够说出来这句话我挺高兴。

 

另外,我最大的震动来自于她文末对上帝的感谢和赞美!虽然我不是基督徒,可是我喜欢家里有基督徒,我觉得如果能够真心地接受上帝做自己的救主,那是件非常美好的事情!我为Susan有她自己的信仰、并且还很坚定,为荣!

 

附上英文原文:

Note

 

 

 

What do I write here? First some explainations:

 

I did exclude one or two of my writings from this, because they were a bit too personal to share. I usually don’t have trouble sharing my thoughts and all that, but some stuff are best left unread. Besides, you wouldn’t be able to understand anyway, since they were addressed specifically to my mom about a certain subject. Also, I didn’t include the short Chinese writings I wrote (of course I didn’t). And of course, there’s the rest of the novle that I was writing. It’s almost finished. I might self publish it when I’m done.

 

However, everything that I did put in here is in their original forms. I didn’t take out anything for the reader’s benifites. That’s not how I work. It’s either all or nothing for me, middle ground seems like…cheating.

 

I really hope you enjoyed reading this, and if you didn’t, that’s understandable. I’ll keep on writing anyway, regardless of how you think. There are some people that I’ll give this to. It’s kind of like a tradition of mine (starting with a teacher that first encouraged me to write) to show my Language Arts teacher the stuff I’ve wrote over the summer. I’ve done it for a while now. My mom also gives copies to some of our familiy’s close friends. Most of them seemed interested in reading this, so I did it again this year. As I grew up, though, the writing collections got longer and longer… so I really hope this wasn’t a complete bore for you to read.

 

I want to say, a huge THANK YOU to my parents for encouraging me (sometimes demanding me) to write almost every day. Now, I don’t need them to force me to write every day anymore, I do it because I want to, not because it’s part of my daily homework. Still, thank you two for giving me the push when I needed it. And expecially thank my mom for being the first to read every single one of my writings.

 

Also, I want to thank all the people out there that have provided me with topics of my writings. Thank you to Pastor Mark and CBCOP, to my friends, to my old friends in Malden, the authors of the books I talked about, and just to everyone that have made all my experiences possible. And thanks to GD (G-Dragon. He’s a K-pop singer, very talented, cofident, and hard working) and 1D for providing me background music while I write. Thanks!

 

And lastly, thank you for reading this. If you liked this, awesome! If you didn't like it, well, I won’t care if you say this is all just a pile of junk, thank you for reading it anyway. (But I would really appreciate it if you don’t call my works “junk”… )

 

Actually, I lied, that wasn’t the last thanks I wanted to give. My last and biggest one is to God. Nothing, absolutely nothing, would’ve been possible if not for Him. He’s been with be through my high and lows, and I know that without His help, I wouldn’t’ve achieved anything at all. Praise the Lord.

 

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. — 1 Chronicles 16:34 

 

About the Author (me) 

 

Usually, this part is done by someone else other than the author, or the auther refers to themselves in third person, but I want to write this by myself, in first person. After all, myself is the most interesting topic out there to talk about, isn’t it?

 

Seriously, after all you’ve read, if you still don’t know about me…. I gave you an unedited glimps inside my head (figuratively speaking), and if you still claim that you don’t know me, I’ll have to say, I’m seriously offended.

 

Aaaalright, here’s some basic info about me that you might not have gotten from all those writings. My original name is 33, but I go by Susan (That’s the English name my parents gave me while in English class in China. I just stuck with it, and now, even if I want to change it, it’ll be too complicated to, because a lot of people know me as Susan). I’m thirteen years old, my birthday is July **, 2000. I moved from China to Chicago in 2008, then moved to Malden, a suburb near Boston, a few months later. I then moved back to Chicagoland, Oak Park in specific, a year and a half ago, and then to Village of H beginning of 2013. Yeah, I’ve moved a lot. And that’s only the big moves.

 

I’m a Christian, I got baptized Easter of 2013. I’m a pretty big fan of One Direction (you can probably tell from what I wrote earlier), I’m sort of a fan of K-pop (Mostly G-Dragon and his boy band Big Bang. He’s the only K-pop I really actually listen to. I admire him greatly, as a person as well as as a singer. By the way, another fact about me: I have a soft spot for pretty asian boys with blonde hair and crazy style.) I’m deathly afraid of insects, bugs, butterflies, bees… etc. I now live in Hinsdale. I write a lot, usually when I have “something to say”. Though there are some times when I don’t, and my mom gives me a topic to write about. It’s a bit harder writing those, but manageble. I really, really like writing, though I like reading even more. And I like movies. And YouTube. And… oh whatever. You already know that.

 

Alright! So that’s me! Make what you will of it!

Susan这种心态很好,自己认定,喜欢的事情,就很专注的做下去,不在意别人喜不喜欢。可以看出,Susan是一个很有个性的孩子,有前途!

坚持下去,一定会有收获的!

谢谢阿朵,她何止是有个性!不过我很高兴,她这个小孩总体上是非常厚道的小孩。

教会团契活动,不管排不排她看管小孩,所有的十岁以下的小孩都找她。她说妈妈,只要去团契,我就得做好当BABYSITTER的准备。有的时候家长会给我打电话,说是女儿讲了,Susan姐姐去她才去!要是她没去,有小姑娘的家庭那是马上就会过来问为什么Susan没来啊?那些家长听我说Susan跟我发脾气的事儿,都说实在看不出来Susan的脾气会有那么大!
