做梦的空间（上）(6)
“你们呢？你们也是从外面往家赶吧？”眼瞅着她们跟我们同向，汉斯问道。
“玛丽早晨写完了作业，我们奖励她让她在游乐园玩了一天。”海伦满脸堆笑地说，“我家孩子不如你们家的勤奋哎，只要她做完了功课我们就让她玩。”
“你是明智的，我也希望自己有像你这样的母亲，”我羡慕地说，“我爸爸总是逼着我上各种补习班，我都烦死了！整天吃吃喝喝玩玩，这样的生活多爽啊！”
“别激动，孩子，我理解你的抵触情绪，可你知道你父母这么做是出于爱你吗？你太小了还理解不了他们的用意和这个社会有多残酷！上周我们学校解聘了五个高材生，因为他们带的毕业班达不到升学率。”海伦一脸严肃地解释给我听，“如果我家的是个男孩，我也会像你爸爸那样对他要求严格。”
“我宁可放弃接受高等教育的机会并从现在开始快快乐乐地过！”我撅着嘴说。
“好吧，总有一天你会明白的，今天就谈到这里，我还赶着为我家的小公主烧晚饭，回头见。”海伦没有回答我，她径直朝家里走去。
With time, my attitude towards learning gradual changed from the beginning aversion and bewilderment to acceptance and adaptation. Although I had the feeling that it would be a plumb job to spend my time and energy playing video games when it should have been devoted to all kinds of classes at first, I soon gave up my thought and had a taste of the pleasure of learning. The interesting knowledge tutors taught not only fascinated me but acted as a key to open the scientific door into which I could unravel the mystery of nature. They always explained the strange phenomena in daily life to us, encourage hands-on practice and seeking books for answers and never once got us to do exams and ranked everyone according to his score. After a year, I learnt more than what I had learnt at school. Once when the New Year came, Hans brought me to my uncle's home. While adults gathered together for a chat, I had nothing to do but sat by my 3-year-older brother and talk with him. As he was a fan of cars, I explained the structure of a car to him; As he had a deep love for weapons, I interpreted the attributes and characteristics of the most common guns in war. The whole process lasted 2 hours and my aunt, having overheard my talk and felt there was a lot of sense in it, conveyed her amazement and asked Linda for advice "how did you train such a little boy to be so knowledgeable?" Linda just laughed and said, "he has a gift for it."
