- I grew up on the coast of England in the '70s. My dad is white from Cornwall, and my mom is black from Zimbabwe.
- 我于上世纪七十年代，生长在英格兰的海岸边，我父亲是来自康沃尔的白人，我母亲是来自津巴布韦的黑人。
- Even the idea of us as a family was challenging to most people. But nature had its wicked way, and brown babies were born.
- 对于许多人来说，是无论如何也想不到我们是一家人。但大自然自有意想不到的一面，棕色的孩子出生了。
- But from about the age of five, I was aware that I didn't fit. I was the black atheist kid in the all-white Catholic school run by nuns.
- 但自从五岁开始，我就察觉出我的格格不入。我是一个信奉无神论的黑人孩子，在一个由修女运转的白人天主学校。
- I was an anomaly, and my self was rooting around for definition and trying to plug in.
- 我是一个另类，我的自我在不断寻找一个定义，并试图将自己套入定义。
- Because the self likes to fit, to see itself replicated, to belong. That confirms its existence and its importance. And it is important.
- 因为自我都是愿意去融入，看到自己被复制，有归属感。那能确认自我的存在感和重要性，这很重要。
- It has an extremely important function. Without it, we literally can't interface with others.

- We can't hatch plans and climb that stairway of popularity, of success. But my skin color wasn't right.
- 我们无法制定计划，无法爬上潮流和成功的阶梯，但我的肤色不对。
- My hair wasn't right. My history wasn't right. My self became defined by otherness, which meant that, in that social world, I didn't really exist.
- 我的发色不对，我的来历不对，我的自我被他人定义，这意味着在社会上，我并不存在。
- And I was "other" before being anything else -- even before being a girl. I was a noticeable nobody.
- 我首先被定义为一个另类，甚至先于被定义为一个女孩，我是一个引人注意的没有人。
- Another world was opening up around this time: performance and dancing. That nagging dread of self-hood didn't exist when I was dancing.
- 在这个时候，另一个世界出现了，那就是表演和舞蹈。对于自我纠缠不清的恐惧，在我跳舞时并不存在。
- I'd literally lose myself. And I was a really good dancer. I would put all my emotional expression into my dancing.
- 我像是失去了自己，我是一个好的舞蹈演员，我会把我所有的感情投入到舞蹈中去。
- I could be in the movement in a way that I wasn't able to be in my real life, in myself.
- 在舞蹈中，我能完成我在现实中自己无法做到的动作。
