That night I took Lyda to see the house where I had spent my first four years and the wooden railroad overpass where I'd played. 那天晚上我领莱达去看我四岁之前住的房子，还有我常在那里玩耍的木制的铁路地下通道。
Because my grandmother was in the crowd, Mary graciously invited me to speak to the hometown folks, though Lyda was supposed to do it. 我外婆也站在人群中，尽管本该莱达讲话，但此时玛丽还是很慷慨地邀请我向家乡父老讲几句。
