我的爷爷是一位作家,他于1954年获得诺贝尔文学奖,代表作是《老人与海》,他的名字就是欧内斯特·海明威。爷爷为家族带来了无上的荣耀,然而几十年来,病魔却也一直缠绕着我的家族。爷爷在我出生前几个月因病抑郁自杀,而他的父亲早在他年轻时也是因为抑郁症而自尽。爷爷的妹妹、弟弟、我的一个叔叔、两个姐姐后来又相继因酗酒、吸毒、抑郁症或其他怪病而自杀或暴毙。人们都说海明威家族被诅咒了,所有家族成员都将不得善终。
My grandfather was a writer. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. His masterpiece is “The Old Man and the Sea.” His name is Ernest Hemingway. Grandpa brought paramount glory to the family, but for decades, the sickness has always been around my family. Grandpa committed suicide during the first few months of my life because of depression, and his father died of depression as early as when he was young. Grandpa’s younger sister, younger brother, one of my uncle, and two older sisters later committed suicide or sudden death due to alcoholism, drug abuse, depression or other strange diseases. People say that the Hemingway family was cursed and all the family members will not be able to make ends meet.
