房子里有一个角落,其中包含他们所谓的土耳其房间,这是为了亲密的对话。当我母亲过着六岁生日时,她的祖母带她进入了土耳其房间。他们都被命名为Inez。那天,Big Inez给了Inez Little Aperation,她自己全部。两千英亩。然后她的妹妹跑进去说,祖母,我也可以有一个种植园吗?大伊内兹低头说,孩子,你的名字叫爱丽丝。您以洋基祖母的名字命名。去问你的洋基祖母种植园。


(There was a nook in the house that contained what they called the Turkish Room, which was for intimate conversation. And when my mother had her sixth birthday, her grandmother led her into the Turkish Room. They were both named Inez. And on that day Big Inez gave Little Inez a plantation all her own. Two thousand acres. Then her little sister came running in and said, Grandmother, can I have a plantation too? And Big Inez looked down and said, Child, your name is Alice. You were named for your Yankee grandmother. Go ask your Yankee grandmother for a plantation.)

在房子里,有一个特殊的地方,称为土耳其房间,专为深入的个人对话而设计。在她的六岁生日时,她的祖母Big Inez将Little Inez带到了那里,Big Inez向她赠送了一份令人难以置信的礼物 - 一个跨越了两千英亩的种植园。这一刻标志着一代之间的重要联系,突出了遗产的主题。

不久之后,Little Inez的姐姐爱丽丝(Alice)也进入了房间,也要求种植园。但是,大伊内兹轻轻地提醒她,她以洋基祖母的名字命名,应该为她寻求这种礼物。这种交流说明了家庭关系和继承的解释方式的差异,揭示了文化身份和期望之间的潜在紧张。
