How can parents not care about their children? 我渴望父母的爱。他们工作总是很忙。这一周我几乎没见过他们，因为他们直到深夜才回家。我告诉他 们我的课业压力很大， 但他们两个都不关心。有时我在家里感到很孤独。 我们上一次全家出游是什么时候？ 我们上次长谈

31、d Her Bank Account Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home. “For the rent.” Mama would count out the big silver pieces. “For the groceries.” Another group of coins. “Ill need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine, my brothe
32、r Nels or me. Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with anxious interest. At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?” And when Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “ Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mamas Bank Account.
33、 It gave us such a warm, secure feeling. When Nels graduated from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said. Eagerly we gathered around the table. I took down a box and laid it carefully in front of Mama. This was the “Little Bank”. It was used for sud

There was not enough. “ We do not want to to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads. “I wil

Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “ I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly. Mama reached across the table and tou

When the check came, I hurried over to Mamas and put it in her lap. “For you,” I said , “to put in your Bank Accou
38、nt.” I noticed for the first time how old Mama and Papa looked. Papa seemed shorter, and Mamas hair was silver now. “ Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.” “You will go with me, Katrin?” “That wont be necessary. Just hand it to the teller. Hell pay it into your account.” Mama looke

42、我都要照顾埃尔文顿家的孩子们， ”我说。 “克莉丝汀可以帮我。 ” 现在有足够的钱了。我们都感觉很好，因为我们不必去市中心从妈妈的银行账户里取钱。 那一年，这家小银行出了很多事情：克莉丝汀的行动不管发生了什么，我们都知道我们还有银行可 以依靠。 那是二十年前的事了。 去年我卖掉了我的第一篇小说。支票来了，我急忙跑到妈妈家，放在她大腿上。 “交给你， ”我说， “存 入你的银行账户。 ” 我第一次注意到爸爸妈妈看起来多老。爸爸看起来矮了，妈妈的头发现在是银白色的。 “明天， ”我告诉妈妈， “你必须把它拿到银行去。 ” “你要和我一起去吗，凯特琳？” “没必要。把它交给出纳员就行了。他会把钱存入你的账户。 ” 妈妈看着我。 “没有账户， ”她说。 “我这辈子从没进过银行。 ” 当我没有不能回答的时候，妈妈严肃地说： “小孩子害怕没有安全感是不好的。 ” （改编自凯瑟琳福布斯（Kathryn Forbes）的妈妈的银行账户 （Mamas Bank Account） ，该书有 17 个短篇故事，描述了 20 世纪初旧金山一个家庭的奋斗和梦想。 ）
