看到很多小伙伴说，这是他们人生中第一次读原版书，或者说这本是他们从头到尾读完的第一本英文书，我心里充满了喜悦。

用这篇文章来分享下，我觉的有意思的人物和一些表达。

这本书很有趣，主要通过三个主人公——白人女性Skeeter，黑人女仆Aibileen和Minny，这三个人各自的独白，分别从她们三位不同的视角，推动了全书的故事发展。

我来说说性格上和我最相似的Minny Jackson吧！

I spot Minny in the back center seat. Minny short and big, got shiny black curls. She setting with her legs spayed, her thick arms crossed. She seventeen years younger than I am. Minny could probably lift this bus up over her head if she wanted to. Old lady like me's lucky to have her as a friend.

这是全书一开始，Aibileen对自己的好朋友Minny的介绍，又矮又墩，可以抬起公交车，如鲁智深倒拔垂杨柳般有气势，霸气外露。

I take the seat in front a her, turn around and listen. Everybody like to listen to Minny.

对于Minny的外表轮廓有了些许认识之后，短短一句话，也写出了Minny内在的一些特质，每个人都喜欢听她（说）。她说的内容我就不挨个描述了，效果肿么样呢？

The whole bus be laughing now cause Minny don't like nobody talking bad about her white lady except herself.

Minny 第一次和Celia见面也是非常有趣的：

The back door opens and there stands Miss Marilyn Monroe. Or something kin to her.

这是第一次Celia尝试去和黑人女仆握手，并且被Minny委婉拒绝。

The white lady sticks her hand out to me and I study her. She might be built like Marilyn, but she ain't ready for no screen test. >>>>>>

>>>>>>I smooth down my white uniform instead of shaking her hand.

在Minny的自述中，14岁的她，在生日当天被妈妈教育如何在白人家庭中做工，Rule No. 1 to 7...

"Now come here and give your mama a big hug on your birthday——Lord, you are heavy as a house, Minny."

"I ain't eaten all day, when can I have my cake?"

"Don't say 'ain't', you speak properly now. I didn't raise you to talk like a mule.

所以细心的朋友应该看得出，Minny的自述中，语言明显要好的多，相比其他黑人，Minny几乎没有语法错误，我觉得这和她妈妈的教育有很大的关系。

Minny人生中的第一天上班也很有趣：

But when the white lady said "Now I want you to be sure and handwash all the clothes first and put them in the electric machine to finish up."

I said "Why I got to handwash when the power washer gone do the job? That's the biggest waste a time I ever heard of." 

That white lady smiled at me, and 5 minutes later, I was out on the street.

第一天上班，也是第一天丢工作，开启了总共丢了十七份工作的职业生涯。这个人物很有喜感，不论是别人的评价还是她的自述，本书有更多精彩的描写值得你去细细品味。

如果没有看过这本书的朋友，翻开第一页，也开始你的原版书阅读之旅吧。
