莫里斯: 恭喜你新书完成啦！它是关于什么的呢？
Toni: It’s about a girl whose parents abandoned her at birth and who ends up living on the streets. She experiences abuse and is put in juvie.
托妮: 是关于一个小女孩，她在出生时就被父母遗弃了，只能在大街上流浪。她遭遇了虐待并被安置在少年教养院里。
Morris: Wow, that sounds heavy. Wasn’t your last book about children whose parents served time in prison and who lived in fear of bullies in their neighborhood?
莫里斯: 哇，故事听起来很沉重啊。你的上一本书也是关于孩子，他们的父母在监狱里服刑，而他们整天生活在附近街区恶霸的恐惧中，对吗？
Toni: Yes, I wrote that after my first book, which was about a brother and sister who lived in an impoverished home traumatized by events beyond their control.
托妮: 对的，那是我的第二本书。我的第一本书是关于一对生活在一贫如洗的家庭中的兄妹，他们的心灵受到了他们无法控制的事情的伤害。
Morris: Do you ever write about happy childhoods?
莫里斯: 你写过关于快乐的童年的书吗？
Toni: I do write about happy childhoods. All of the children and teenagers in my books are very resilient. They are survivors.
托妮: 我当然写过这类的内容。我书中的孩子和少年都是很有可塑性的。他们都是幸存者。
Morris: I was thinking about children who have normal childhoods with two parents living in the suburbs.
莫里斯: 我指的是和父母一起生活在郊区，有一个正常童年的孩子？
Toni: You call that normal? You think they’d be happy? I bet there’s an underbelly of crime and misery in most seemingly perfect families.
托妮: 你认为那样正常？你觉得他们会快乐？我相信在多数看起来很完美的家庭中，都蕴藏着罪恶和痛苦。
Morris: I’ve no doubt that if that were true, you’d be the one to write about it.
莫里斯: 我坚信如果真是那样的话，那一定是你写出来的。
