American Son

His son, who is lumbered with the name Gogol Ganguli, studies architecture at Yale and acquires an All-American girlfriend, rich, blonde and well-connected.

他的儿子取了一个累赘的名字—果戈里·果戈里就读于耶鲁大学建筑系，并且交了一个纯美国血统的女朋友，金发碧眼，出身名门，家财万贯。

They married and had two daughters and a son, now 11, whom Thuy imagines as the very image of the American father she has never seen.

他们结了婚，有两个女儿一个儿子。儿子现年十一岁，翠猜想，他一定非常像她从没见过的美国父亲。

Only five families have come forward in California. (in another famous case, a Mexican woman with an American-born son was this week deported after sheltering in a Chicago church for a year.)

这些要求限制了申请正式庇护的人数，加州只有5个家庭主动响应(而本周另一起知名案件里，一名墨西哥妇女和她生于美国的儿子被驱逐出境，之前他们已在芝加哥一家教堂藏身一年)。
