求翻译！！！救急啊

When Berenice Belizaire arrived in New York from Haiti with her mother and sister in 1987, she was not very happy. She spoke no English. The family had to live in a small and crowded Brooklyn apartment, a far cry from the comfortable house they'd had in Haiti. Her mother, a nurse, worked long hours. School was torture. Berenice had always been a good student, but now she was learning a new language while enduring constant taunts from the Americans. They cursed her in the cafeteria and threw food at her. Someone hit her sister in the head with a book. "Why can't we go home?" Berenice asked her mother.
Because home was dangerous. The schools weren't always open anymore, and education – her mother insisted – was the most important thing. Her mother had always pushed her: memorize everything, she ordered.
"I have a pretty good memory," Berenice admitted last week. Indeed, the other kids at school began to notice that Berenice always, somehow, knew the answers. "They started coming to me for help," she says. "They never called me a nerd ."
Within two years Berenice was speaking English, though not well enough to get into one of New York's elite public high school. She had to settle for a neighborhood school, James Madison, a school with a history of unlikely success stories. "I didn't realize what we had in Berenice at first," says math teacher Judith Khan. "She was good at math, but she was quiet. And the things she didn't know! She applied for a summer program in Buffalo and asked me how to get there on the subway. But she always seemed to ask the right questions. She understood the big ideas. She could think on her feet. She could explain difficult problems so the other kids could understand them. Eventually I realized she wasn't just pushing for grades, she was hungry for knowledge … And you know it never occurred to me that she also was doing well in English and history, all these other subjects that had to be much tougher for her than math."

1987年，当Berenice Belizaire离开Haiti，和她的妈妈妹妹到纽约的时候。她一点都不开心，她不会说英文。整个家庭不得不居住在布鲁克林又小又挤的公寓里，这和他们在Haiti舒适的房子有很大的差距。她的妈妈是一个护士，一直工作很长时间。学校是折磨人的。Berenice是个好学生，但是现在她一边在学习一门新的语言，一边忍受着来自美国人的持续的嘲弄。他们在咖啡馆里咒骂她，把食物扔在她身上。甚至有人用书打她妹妹的头。“我们为什么不回家？”Berenice问她的妈妈。
以为家里很危险。学校不会再开放了，还有教育。——她的妈妈坚持着———教育是最重要的事情。她的妈妈总是推着她前进。她记着所有的一切。
我的记性很好。Berenice上周说着。确实，学校里的其他孩子开始注意到Berenice无论如何总是知道问题的答案。“他们开始寻求我的帮助”她说“他们再也不叫我鸟人了。”
两年内，Berenice可以说英文了，虽然还没有好到可以融入到纽约公立高中的水平。所以他不得不去了临近的一所学校，詹姆斯麦迪森，一所并一定有很多成功故事流传的学校。“我起初没有意识到我们可以从Berenice中挖掘到什么。”数学老师Judith Khan说道。“她很擅长数学，但是她很安静。就算是碰到她不知道的，她也不会问。她申请了一个在巴福罗的暑假项目，她问我怎么坐地铁到那儿。但是她好像总是问出正确的问题。她明白大思想。她全身上下都能思考。她可以解释困难的问题，解释地很浅显使其他孩子可以理解。最终我意识到她不仅仅是为了成绩。她是对知识渴望。你知道吗？我从来没见过一个学生可以像她那样，在英语历史也做得很好，所有她仍然做的好的科目比起数学，那都是难的多的。

Answer 2

1987年当Berenice Belizaire和她的妈妈、姐妹从海地到达纽约，她不是很高兴。她不会英文。家人不得不生活在Brooklyn一个又小又挤的公寓，和她们在海地舒适的房子大不相同。她的妈妈，一个护士，工作很长时间。学校是一种折磨。Berenice曾经是一个好学生，但是她正在学习一个新的语言而长时间被美国人嘲弄。他们在自助餐馆诅咒她而且把食物扔向她。一些人用书打她姐妹的头，“为什么我们不能回家呢？”Berenice 问她妈妈。

因为家是危险的。学校再也不开放了，而且教育——她妈妈坚持——是最重要的东西。她妈妈一直逼她“记住一切”，她命令道。
“我有一个非常好的记忆力”Berenice 上周承认。的确，学校的其他孩子开始注意到Berenice总是，以某种方式知道答案，“他们开始向我寻求帮助”她说，“他们再也不叫我呆子了”

两年内Berenice说英文了，可是不够好去进入纽约优秀的公立高中。她不得不进入一个附近的高中。James Madison，一个没有成功故事历史的学校，“起初我们没有意识到Berenice
身上有什么”数学老师Judith Khan说，“她数学很好，但是她太什么了。而且这事她不知道！她申请了一个Buffalo的暑期项目并且问我怎样乘地铁过去。但是她似乎总是问对的问题。她明白伟大的观点。她能脚踏实地的去思考。她能解释难题为了其他孩子能明白它们。最终我意识到她不仅仅是被逼而学，她是对只是的饥渴...而且你知道我从没想到她的英语和历史也很好，她对所有这些其他的学科比数学还要用功。”
