关于本书 About the book

《床底下的一杯水》是一个凄美的回忆录, 关于作者黛西?埃尔南德斯在美国属于一个工薪阶层移民家庭长大的生活经验。作为哥伦比亚和古巴血统的女孩,在一个移民家庭长大,她努力地融入美国主流社会。用诚实和幽默以悲哀发出丁当声,她描述了生动的细节,  关于她的奋斗,  去寻找她在社会中的独特地位。她试图调和冲突的问题,如种族、 文化同化、传统与现代的价值观、以及她自己的双性恋倾向。
In this poignant coming-of-age memoir, Daisy Hernandez writes with candor and a playful wit tinged with sadness about growing up in a working-class Colombian-Cuban immigrant family living in the United States. She tries her best to fit in, to be the same as other people who speak English fluently or who have a good job. She changes herself so that people will approve of her.But when she decides to date both guys and gals, she clashes with the traditional values of her family and Latin American heritage.

她对自己感到很迷惘,努力地想要让自己跟其他一样,希望得到别人的认同,而尝试了许多方法,却也改变了自己。最终,在她的自我认同危机之中,而在经历许多挫折后,她才意识到,她不完美的家庭是世界上最重要的事情。
Daisy struggles to find her unique place in society as she grapples with clashing issues of race, cultural assimilation, traditional vs. modern values, and her own bisexuality. Ultimately, in the midst of her identity crisis, she realizes that her imperfect family is the most important thing in the world.
