Kill the pig, pluck out the bristles: It was the evening of our graduation dance, at the International Fellowship Association in the Hsimenting district. Your mother was just 20 years old. She sported a ponytail and a billowy skirt like Audrey Hepburn's in Roman Holiday.
那天晚上，我們在西門町的萬國聯誼社開畢業舞會，你母親紮著馬尾、穿著奧黛麗赫本在電影「羅馬假期」中的蓬裙，才廿歲。
