The kitchen is my favorite room in a house, because it is where families gather. To me, that is the most important thing. So many of the memories people have of growing up revolve around the kitchen. My childhood memories concern the kitchens in my grandparents ‘homes.
厨房是我最喜欢的房间，因为它是家庭聚会的地方。对我来说，这是最重要的。人们对成长的许多记忆都围绕着厨房。我的童年记忆是关于我祖父母家的厨房的。
My mother's family lived in a row house in the city. The rooms were all small, and that included the kitchen. In the summertime, when we'd visit, the back door of the house would be left open. People would be sitting on the back porch and in the kitchen, talking and laughing, while my grandmother made dinner. There was no air-conditioning, but I don't ever remember feeling too hot. There was always a breeze coming through, along with the sounds of traffic and kids playing ball in the street.
我母亲和家人住在城里的一排房子里。房间都很小，包括厨房。在夏天，当我们参观时，房子的后门会开着。人们会坐在后廊和厨房里，谈笑风生，而我的祖母做晚饭。当时没有空调，但我记不得当时觉得太热了。总是有微风吹过，伴随着交通和孩子们在街上打球的声音。
My father's family liver on a farm in the country, and their house had a huge kitchen with windows on three sides. It seems like the windows were always open and the curtains blowing with the breeze. The main door to the house was almost never used. Everyone came in through the kitchen, and sat at the big table in the middle of the room. When dinner was being prepared, all the women would bustle around, while the men sat at the table talking about farm prices. Sometimes my grandmother wouldn't even sit down during dinner, but would be refilling bowls of food and people's glasses. From outside ,we could hear the cows in the field near the house.
我父亲和他的家人住在乡下的一个农场里，他们的房子有一个巨大的厨房，三面都有窗户。好像窗户总是开着的，窗帘随风飘动。这所房子的正门几乎从来没用过。每个人都从厨房进来，坐在房间中间的大桌子旁。当晚饭准备好时，所有的女人都会忙个不停，而男人则坐在桌旁谈论着农产品价格。有时我祖母甚至在吃饭的时候都不坐下来，而是在给碗里的食物和人斟杯子。从外面，我们可以听到房子附近田野里的牛叫声。
These two kitchens are the background for some of my happiest memories. From the beginning of time, human beings have gathered together near the fire where the food was being prepared. I hope that never changes.
这两个厨房是我最快乐回忆的背景。从一开始，人类就聚集在准备食物的火旁。我希望这永远不会改变
