Homeless to Harvard 是我入手的第一本英文原著。看完电影《风雨哈佛路》我哭的心痛：为她原生家庭的多难，为她给自己人生加码中经历的心酸，也因为跟她太明显的家庭好环境和太大的奋斗动力不足的差距而思索。

1   酗酒、吸毒、艾滋，15岁前她人生的氛围

爸爸高智商，但太自我，只能每天看着电视回答益智类竞赛主持人提出的所有问题，而不养家、糊口。妈妈和爸爸在吸毒的道路上高度协同，能给她的是在清醒时候的嘘寒问暖的母爱。电影节奏比较快，书籍里面则是慢慢的叙述了父母相识，相知到一起把生活的大楼整歪的全过程。

爸妈都这样了，结果就是被艾滋带走，留下她和姐姐(因为生计，小时候两人就没有构建好深刻的姐妹情谊)。电影在这里就结束了家庭环境的描述。

She lived in my heart, I lived no where. I was all alone in the world.~作品改编成为电影后的催泪台词。

他们走了，lizzy 不再有照顾人的负担，仅仅照顾自己，她就显得绰绰有余了。没地方睡，凌晨的地铁上，她躺在座椅上;没有吃的，垃圾桶里有她的食物......

这个阶段的人生环境，脏乱差

但是，她惦记的是他们给的爱。

We love each other in hearts.

她坚信的是，不能像他们那样活着。

My mother is dying, my father is gong. But I had to believe there would be a road to me.~活法得不同啊！

2  读书 求学 显性化自己的人生态度

认识到换一种活法，她就下手了。找学校(美帝的教育保障机制厉害，想学习，不用爸妈非得有能力，直接签证认可你想学习就行)。追学业，白天黑夜不分，自己研究学业(老爹别的没提供，强大的学习能力)。苦难的经历丰富了她的阅历。

没什么可以失去了，如果不努力，也没什么可以得到。

多为自己争取机会，各种知识的学习，各种技能的长进。争取纽约时报奖学金......

终于，她站在了纽约时报奖学金颁奖台上，答记者问:

The sixteen New York scholarship ceremony(scene)

(Liza) Everything is changing. My life will be never the same. I don’t know that to say except thank you. Thank you very much.

(Journalist) Liza, How did you do this?

(Liza)How could I’ll do it. My parents show me what they orientated was.

(Journalist) Did you feel sorry to yourself ?

(Liza)Sorry.

(Journalist) Sleeping on the subway, sit down stairs?

(Liza)That is always been in my life and I really ,I feel that I got lucky because any sensitive security was hold of on me, so I was forced to look forward. I head to there. I was no going back and I reach the point, where I just thought, all right. I’m going to work as hard as possible I can, and see what happens. And now I’m going to college, and the New York Times is going to pay.

(Journalist) So, you were lucky. But is there anything you change if you were able?

(Liza) I give it back, all of it. If I can got my family back.

电影原台词

她用give back 诠释了家庭那份爱的重要性。

3  她陪我这些年

任何在我乱挥霍时间的场景里，她都会出现，从书中那间充斥着霉味道的房间里走出来，从电影里她妈妈的棺木上坐起来，从优酷上她在做讲演的荧幕上走下来。这些年，虽然我没有太大的人生成就，但是我学会了像她一样珍惜身边的大环境，从家庭中汲取爱同样回馈爱。
