32、生学位，也有了比较成功的职业生涯。然而，前进的每一步都是通过令人精疲力竭的奋斗取得的。我的大学学费一部分是通过打多份报酬极低的零工挣来的。毕业以后，我很幸运地找到一份工作。可是，适应企业文化需要付出另一种代价。最初，我需要付出双倍的努力才跟得上。渐渐地，我意识到如果缺乏自信，别人就不把你当回事儿，于是便学着装出一副自信满满的样子。迫于裁员潮的威慑，我利用业余时间读了研究生，因为那是我所知道的能在保障工作方面取得优势的唯一办法。当我有资格申请公民身份时，又花了一大笔律师费，并且忍受了充满压力的数年时光，努力应对种种纷繁复杂的情况以获得在美的永久居住权。,ChineseVersion,equiva

44、生活迈进的方向划上句号。另外一部分的我仍旧渴望着自己曾经在加纳熟悉的简单生活尽管接受这种生活要付出虚幻的代价。我们大多数人离家远行时从不考虑自己会发生多么大的变化，或是有多少令人伤痕累累的挑战将摆在我们面前。我还记得自己的想法曾经一度跟那个洋葱小贩没什么两样。有人看得比较远，给了我一个来美国的机会，所以我还是感到必须作出回报。,ChineseVersion,inanticipationof:inpreparationforsth.happening期待着,e.g.,Heboughtextrafoodinanticipationofmorepeoplecomingthanhedinvited.T

50、不”。知识的教化带来了纯真的丧失和一种无声的挣扎。我所经历的文化冲突与来自其他文化的移民在美国所面临的如出一辙。我可以接纳我的新身份两个国家进步性的融合者并欣然接受其赋予的新责任，而不再去多想自己在两个国家间饱受折磨之事。,ChineseVersion,tradewith:toexchangewith与对换，与进行交换,e.g.,EarlyexplorerstradeddirectlywiththeIndians.Iwouldntmindtradingplaceswithherforaday.,deepdown:inreality;inspiteofappearances实际上；在内心深处，在
