2. 汉译英

I have a complicated family background. According to the official record, my native place is in Dayao County of Yunnan Province, where, in fact, is the birth place of my grandfather, a place I have never been to. My father was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, but he was grown up in Jiangsu, Shanghai, and studied in Harbin Institute of Technology. My mother was from Lǚcheng Town, Danyang City, Jiangsu Province, and entered Beijing Institute of Mining Technology after her graduation from Senior High School. My parents, after graduating from university, went to work in Henan Province where the life was hard. Though I was born in Henan, grown up in Henan, the issue where I was from had once puzzled me because my family and I were always regarded as “People from the South”by my neighbors and schoolmates when I was a child. Only when I left Henan after being graduated from senior high school did I begin to realize the sentimental attachment and love of my home town where I had live for 18 years. Today, if anyone asks me “Where are you from?”I would answer proudly (with pride): “I am from Henan.”Indeed, I was born in Henan, grown up in there; therefore, I am an out and out man from Henan Province.
