    王高启有两个女儿,没有儿子,乡村重男轻女,他始终为此抬不起头。莎莉和梦龙来访,王高启就试着用多年前学习的英语和他们对话。这着实让周围的村民感到吃惊。那段时间,他晚上就把以前的英语课本找出来复习,以备第二天能继续用英语讲话。他每天脸上都洋溢着兴奋和喜悦,似乎找回了生活的信心和勇气。

    Wang Gaoqi has two daughters and no son. In a culture that values boys over girls, he felt losing face in the village. When Sari and Munro came to the village, Wang Gaoqi tried to speak to them in English he learned many years ago. This indeed surprised the villagers. In those days, Wang would review the contents in his old textbook at night, in order to continue English conversations with the foreigners the next day. He looked cheerful and enthusiastic. He might have regained confidence and courage about life.
