When I was a boy growing up, 当我还是一个小男孩的时候 On Sundays, 每到周日 we would always have a delicious Italian dinner. 我们都会吃一餐丰盛的意式大餐 My Nana’s slow cooked sauce was the key. 我祖母精煮慢炖的酱紫是这顿饭的灵魂 In it were cooked potatoes, chicken, steak, and meatballs. 这里面有土豆，鸡肉，牛排肉，还有肉丸子 Mounds of spaghetti would also be boiled 堆成小山的意大利面煮好了 and dropped into the red sauce. 再倒入艳红色的酱紫 We also had loaves of homemade Italian bread 我们还有一条条家里自己做的意式面包 covered in butter. 上面涂满了黄油 Every now and then 每隔一段时间 there were also big chunks of Provolone cheese. 我们还能吃到大块大块的波伏沃起司 We would all eat, talk, and laugh 我们一边吃一边交谈，欢笑 until both our bellies and hearts were full. 直到肚子里装满食物，心中充满欢乐 After Mom and Nana passed away 妈妈和祖母去世后 my Dad would still make the sauce from time to time 父亲偶尔还是会做这样的酱汁 |
