Growing up I didn't realize how poor we were. 从小到大，我都没有意识到，家里有多么贫穷 My parents were amazing at providing for us. 我的父母总有办法供养我们 We loved watching baseball games 我们很喜欢看棒球赛 and I wanted to go to a game so bad. 我也特别特别想要看比赛 We never could afford it. 可是我们买不起门票 To make up for it, 为了补偿我们 while we were at school, 趁我们几个孩子在学校里的时间 mom made up tickets to that night's game and money for us to "spend". 母亲做了几张“门票”，让我们可以观看今晚的“比赛”，还给我们做了可以“花销”的“钞票” When we got home she had set up chairs in front of the TV 当我们回家时，她已经在电视前摆好了椅子 and numbered them. 还在椅子上面编了号码 Gave us the tickets and money 她把“门票”和“钱”交给我们 and told us to go clean up before the game. 让我们在比赛开始之前，先把自己洗洗干净 Come game time we lined up at the doorway, 比赛时间快要开始了，我们站在门口 my dad took our tickets 爸爸为我们剪票 |
