  这一段和我读过的《最蓝的眼睛》中
• 
  
  passage and the one I read from Bluest Eye about Pecola,
  关于皮克拉的那一段 有何不同
• 
  
  that passage of negativity about her being a kind of blank or a negative,
  关于她作为黑人 或者说一种负面存在
•

  也许她们不时看看后窗

  and a face so like their mother's,
  和一张酷似妈妈的脸
• 
  
  so rapt and full of tender watching
  全神贯注 眼神充满温柔

  只有露西尔会觉得那是我的脸
