斯诺姑娘我的风格从来都是开门见山。既然如此,直接上答案:
As always, bring the answer on directly: yes, there is !
存在---诺妈!
Snow's mom!
诺妈真的是一个很神奇的存在。1990年12月,诺妈生下美女一枚(没错,就是本姑娘我!)。彼时窗外飘着鹅毛大雪,寒风凛冽如呼啸山庄。屋内的七大姑八大姨叽叽喳喳的讨论着要给小美人儿起个什么名字:小雪,大雪,雪儿,雪花,还有让本姑娘叫雪球的!诺妈一拍脑袋:叫斯诺!屋子里顿时安静,在场人都一脸疑(meng)惑(bi)---啥玩意? 诺妈曰:‘斯诺’就是snow的音译,而snow就是英文中雪的意思。 所有人继续疑(meng)惑(bi)---什么鬼? 从那一刻起,本姑娘有了个中文名:斯诺;同时有了英文名字:snow。
She is really a special mom. She gave birth to a little girl in December,1990 (well, yes, the little girl is me.) on a snowy day. Seeing the heavy snow outside the window, my aunts were suggesting that the little girl should be named as something like: snowy, snow flake and ....snowball. However, mom decided to call me "sinuo", which is the the transliteration of the english word "snow". Never heard about the English word ‘snow’, let alone the transliteration of it, people at present were confused. But special is special, she still decalred 'this is my girl and her Chinese name is Sinuo and English name is Snow'!
在那个物资匮乏的年代,在那个偏远的小山村,在那个普通话都没几个人会说的地方,诺妈给她刚出生的姑娘起了个音译名字的同时还起了英文名字,可谓......奇葩中的霸王花。这朵霸王花在本姑娘今后的成长中,一直扮演着以为....奇特母亲的角色。
In that era, China is far less developed compared with current. Our village is located at an undeveloped city with only few people speak proper mandarin. Regardless of all these adverse factors, my mom came up with a good and unique name for me.
诺妈脾气急的很,因名字中有个蓉字,江湖人称“容嬷嬷”。她一直说自己是芙蓉仙子,大家每次听到都翻个大白眼,从来不认同她跟“芙蓉”能有一毛钱关系,知道....武林外传杀出江湖,芙蓉女侠红遍大江南北。
My mom does not have a good temper and we also make fun of her by calling her "Rong Momo", the name of a famous character and well-known for her bad temper. Though she preper to be called "princess lotus" (cuz her Chinese name means lotus), all our family members believe she is far to strict to be an elegant princess. Nevertherless, several years later, a drama called sworship man became extremely famous all over China and one of the character, whose temper is as bad as my mom, is named "pricess lotus". Ever from then, we agreed to call her lotus.
诺妈经典台词之:都几点了还写作业,快快快,跟我出去玩。
恩,基本上每天晚上过了8点,诺妈就不让写作业了。得跟着她出去散步,打球,遛狗...玩啥都行,就是不能写作业。写不完咋办?第二天去挨老师骂呗。不想挨骂咋办?加快速度写呗!!哎,她就是这种奇葩的方式逼我提高效率,以至于除了高三最后两个月的冲刺阶段,姑娘我的课后作业从来都是8点就完成了。
诺妈经典台词之:给你报了个xx班。
其实本姑娘寒假暑假从没闲着过,各种班排的满满的,一个暑假得学六种不同的....的....的技能。比如初二的暑假,诺妈给报了:乒乓球,钢琴,跆拳道,中国象棋,围棋 and 舞蹈。其中舞蹈包括拉丁,民族,古典,爵士。除此之外,本姑娘还学过:速度速记,播音主持,声乐,架子鼓,吉他,古筝,中阮,二胡......基本上那时候市面上有的兴趣班都上过。奇葩吗?其实她是想让我什么都试试,从而发现我真正喜欢什么。不想学了咋整?那就不学,咱换一个!碰到有兴趣的自然就坚持下去了。结果,还真让她试出来了!从小坚持到现在的其实只有钢琴,吉他,舞蹈和网球,其余的都是三脚猫功夫。但就日子的精彩程度以及个人经历来说,足够了!
诺妈经典台词之:来,跟我学xx。
这里的“xx”啊,指代左右家务啊!什么蒸馒头,包饺子,烙饼,炒菜,穿针引线,缝衣服做被子对于姑娘我来说都不在话下。要不是对麦苗过敏,割麦子什么的估计也逃不了。天知道她干嘛要教我这些,搞得现在大家经常拿着掉了扣子的衣服来找我,还都叫我诺妈妈。姑娘我才18岁好嘛(红红火火恍恍惚惚)。
诺妈经典事例之:双语教学。
注意,诺妈不止是奇葩,还是奇葩中的霸王花!山沟沟里长出来的女娃娃,普通话讲清楚的都不多,她英语讲得竟然还不赖!她高考那年是中国高考第一次加入了英语,诺妈考了96分(满分100)。从姑娘我记事儿起,诺妈就中英双语跟我对话。什么“snow,要喝water吗?” , “snow, dog你溜了吗?“, ”snow,冰激凌is bad to you“。虽然英语水平有限,却从没放弃过说英语。还一直给我灌输要开口说!开口说!开口说! 用现在的教育理念来看,这应该是所谓的”浸润式“教学法吧,诺妈从没接触过这种名词,却用实践给本姑娘创造了一个”双语环境“。 所以啊,本姑娘能成为中英同传,实在应该感谢她。
你觉得她崇洋媚外吗?其实啊,诺妈是北师大中文系高材生,职业是高中语文老师!
咋样,对得起她霸王花的美名吧!
26年来,诺妈对本姑娘唯一的要求就是:快乐!记得有一次电视新闻中正在随机采访路人,问:你最想跟妈妈说的话是什么? 诺妈忽然转过一张很认真的脸,盯着我说:如果有一天有人这么问你,我想听到的是,妈妈我很快乐!
这不是一句随意的话,她用自己”奇葩“的培养方式,试图培养一个快乐的孩子。并且,她真的做到了。
妈妈,我很快乐!
