章節(jié)摘錄

　　Cops and Robbers　　警察和強(qiáng)盜　　The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquaintedwith people you might never even introduce yourself to,had life not done it for you.　　~Kendall Hailey　　I was married at eighteen to my high schoolsweetheart. I came from a very traditional but somewhat colorful family. My father was a director for television and my mother had worked in pictures during my younger years. 　　The boy I married was from a somewhat different background. His mother was attractive and fun. She had also been married five times, twice to the same man. Three of my husband’s uncles were police officers and he had a cousin who was a firefighter.　　My father-in-law’s family was quite different. His father had been a bootlegger as a young man and even did some time in prison. His uncle was a wellconnected fence for the mob. His uncle’s son was an enforcer for the head of the largest mob on the West Coast.　　As a young sheltered bride I had no idea what any of this was about. I just knew that both sides of the family were kind and lots of fun.　　We had a sudden death in the family. My husband’s sister died and the entire family was brought to their knees. I knew that I was the only one who could handle the details of a funeral and reception back at our home.　　I made all the plans and telephoned every member of the family... every member.I let my husband know that there was nothing to worry about. I had handled everything.　　The funeral was a beautiful tribute to my special sister-in-law. We received hugs and condolences from both sides of our families and returned to our home for the reception. My friends had helped set everything up, as I knew we would be the last to arrive.　　We walked into the house to a visual I had never anticipated. A house divided! The “Cops” were in the living room and the “Robbers” were in the den. They had never been together before! When I realized what I had done all I could do was laugh!　　I later heard a wonderful story from the wife of one of our police officer uncles. She told me that after the funeral, the two sides of my husband’s family became friendlier, and my bootlegger father-in-law would take his police officer brothers-in-law and their wives out to dinner and pick up the tab. My father-in-law was a very generous man, not only in his heyday, but in the lean years to come. As they all grew older and our uncle became more successful (he was a Captain with the Los Angeles Police department), he told his wife how wonderful his sister’s husband had always been to the family. He vowed that never again would my father-in-law be allowed to pay a bill in his presence. The “cops” and “robbers” may have all had very separate careers, but they all had a very strong respect for each other and they were indeed family.　　家庭生活所賦予的重要禮物，就是讓你和那些你可能永遠(yuǎn)都不需要自我介紹的人進(jìn)行深入了解，而生活并沒(méi)有事先作出這樣的安排?！　　系?tīng)枴ず诶　∈藲q那年，我嫁給了自己高中時(shí)的情人。我來(lái)自一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)但又有點(diǎn)多姿多彩的家庭。我的父親是一名電視導(dǎo)演，我的母親在我童年時(shí)期就已經(jīng)在演戲了?！　∥壹薜哪莻€(gè)男孩來(lái)自于一個(gè)不同背景的家庭，他的母親迷人又風(fēng)趣，結(jié)過(guò)五次婚，其中兩　　次是嫁給同一個(gè)男人。我丈夫的三個(gè)舅舅是警官，他有一個(gè)表親是消防員。　　我公公那一家相當(dāng)不同。我的公公年輕的時(shí)候是走私販，還坐過(guò)牢。我丈夫的叔叔是犯罪集團(tuán)的銷贓犯，社會(huì)關(guān)系復(fù)雜。我丈夫的堂弟是西海岸最大的犯罪集團(tuán)總部的一名殺手?！　∽鳛橐幻艿奖Ｗo(hù)的年輕新娘，我對(duì)這些完全沒(méi)有概念，只知道雙方的家人都很親切，家里總是樂(lè)趣不斷?！　『髞?lái)，家中突然有人過(guò)世。我丈夫的妹妹去世了，一家人受到重創(chuàng)，我知道自己是家里唯一一個(gè)可以處理葬禮細(xì)節(jié)和接待事宜的人。　　我作好所有安排，給家里的每個(gè)成員打電話。我讓丈夫知道沒(méi)什么好擔(dān)心的，我已經(jīng)安排好所有事宜。　　葬禮是對(duì)我那特別的小姑的美麗哀悼。我們收到雙方家人的擁抱和吊唁，然后回到家里登記。我的朋友已經(jīng)幫忙安排好一切，因?yàn)槲抑牢覀儠?huì)是最后到家的?！　∽哌M(jìn)屋子，眼前出現(xiàn)了我從未預(yù)料到的情形，屋子被完全隔開(kāi)了！　　“警察”在客廳，“強(qiáng)盜”在休息室，他們之前從沒(méi)坐在一起過(guò)！當(dāng)我意識(shí)到自己干的糗事時(shí)，只能大笑出聲?！　『髞?lái)，我從其中一個(gè)警官舅舅的妻子那里聽(tīng)到一個(gè)很棒的故事。她告訴我葬禮之后公公的家人和婆婆的家人變得更友好了。我的走私販公公要請(qǐng)他的警官小舅子和他們的妻子去吃晚飯。公公是個(gè)很慷慨的人，不僅僅是在自己風(fēng)光的時(shí)候，在艱苦的歲月他也如此。他們都漸漸老去，我們的舅舅在事業(yè)上越來(lái)越成功，他是洛杉磯警察局的警長(zhǎng)。他告訴妻子自己姐姐的老公一直對(duì)這個(gè)家都很好。他發(fā)誓只要他在場(chǎng)，絕不會(huì)讓我公公埋單的。“警察”和“強(qiáng)盜”的職業(yè)大相徑庭，但他們都非常尊重對(duì)方，是實(shí)實(shí)在在的一家人?！　　死锼雇　ぐ輦悺　　?/pre>
