《芒果街上的小屋》 一本优美纯净的小书,一本“诗小说”。由几十个短篇组成,语言清澈如流水,点缀着零落的韵脚和新奇的譬喻,如一首首长歌短调,各自成韵,又彼此钩连,汇聚出一个清晰世界,各样杂沓人生。所有的讲述都归于一个叙述中心:居住在芝加哥拉美移民社区芒果街上的女孩埃斯佩朗莎。生就对弱的同情心和对美的感觉力,她用清澈的眼打量周围的世界,用美丽稚嫩的语言讲述成长、沧桑、生命的美好与不易和年轻的热望与梦想,梦想有一所自己的房子,梦想在写作中追寻自我,获得自由和帮助别人的能力。

  The Family of Little Feet
  There was a family.All were little.Their arms were little,and their hands were little,and their height was not tall,and their feet very small.

  The grandpa slept on the living room couch and snored through his teeth.His feet were fat and doughy like thick tamales,and these he powdered and stuffed into white socks and brown leather shoes.

  The grandma's feet were lovely as pink pearls and dressed in velvety high heels that made her walk with a wobble,but she wore them anyway because they were pretty.     

  小脚之家

  有一家人。都是小个。他们的胳膊很小,他们的手也很小,他们的个头也不高,他们的叫非常非常小。

  爷爷睡在客厅的沙发上,牙缝里漏出鼾声。他的脚又白又胖,像厚厚的玉米肉粽,他把它们扑上粉,套上白袜子,塞进棕色皮靴里。

  奶奶的脚像粉红珍珠一样好看,穿着天鹅绒的高跟鞋,走起路来一歪一扭。可她还是穿着它们,因为鞋子漂亮。
