If I want to feel more beautiful, I have the Bottegas. But I always remember where my mom ends and I begin. Wearing her shoes but walking my own p

8、ath is exactly what my mother wanted to give me. 2007年5月，我母亲查处晚期胰腺癌。尽管大家都知道结局不妙，但是谈话很快就越过死亡和临终，集中在他的鞋上。南希.戴里的鞋子闻名遐迩，藏品丰富。或许数量没有伊梅尔达.马科斯那么多，但伊梅尔达以量闻名，我母亲以质取胜。鲁布托、夏奈尔、普拉达、迪奥和周仰杰只是她橱柜里的一部分“名流”-并配有羽毛、雕塑风格的鞋跟、动物皮革和奇异的宝石。各种颜色和高度都来者不拒。所以，人们都肆意猜测，这些鞋会落到哪里。谁也不知道，那些鞋是留给我的。这让认识我妈妈和我的人震惊。我是家里的“勃肯”（德国休闲凉鞋品牌译注），指

9、甲不干净，也没抹指甲油，对环保生活的益处讲得太多。靴子、木底鞋、扣拇指的塑料凉鞋是我的最爱。尽管如此，有人问我，葬礼后，她的大批鞋子怎么办，我明明白白地答道：“放进我的橱柜。”“你打算怎么处理这些鞋？”对方这样说，暗示我对实用鞋的嗜好否定对任何跟儿鞋的需要。“我想，我得多打扮打扮。“噢，你妈妈会很高兴！”人们说，暗示我还有希望。是的，那就是我的妈妈。当他代表我们城市被人遗忘的孩子与市议会和洛杉矶县监督委员会斗争时，完美的衣着和令人惊叹的鞋子是她最爱的制服。在她的推动下，洛杉矶县儿童与家庭委员会、洛杉矶县家庭保护计划、洛杉矶县儿童计划委员会等机构得以成立。我们的鞋符合我们各自慈善事业的特点。她是

10、决策者我是草根。她穿着普拉达高跟鞋宣扬被收养儿童的权利我穿着新百伦登山靴跑到乍得东部帮助达尔富尔难民。我们曾在内罗毕条件最恶劣的贫民窟参加艾滋病预防项目，我妈妈极为激动，但在鞋子方面准备不佳；她承认，她的白色名牌运动鞋不适合充满细菌的泥地。但为提升气氛，她以典型的南希风格说:“我相信普拉达有漂亮的登山靴，下回穿。人们问，我怎么穿她的鞋子，我脑海里只闪过一个词：不可能。这不是妈妈生前希望的。他赞美我，尽管我穿不上4英寸的高跟鞋。她喜欢我在她的领域找到自己热爱的世界，她甚至更喜欢我以自己的方式发挥作用。去世前一天，她和我讨论我们之间的关系对我俩有多重要。我们有惺惺相惜的社交圈，在各种场合彼此介绍。我开玩笑说，如果我化妆，打扮得漂亮些，她会更喜欢。我知道，这是大错特错：她珍爱现在的我，谁要是说全都因为有她才有今天的我，她就会把话题转开。只要我能触摸妈妈柜橱的东西，她就绝没有远离。她的鞋如今放在我的小得多的柜橱里，但我随时都可以套上它们。如果需要力量，我知道最恰当的“马诺洛”。如果想感觉更美丽，我有“宝缇嘉”。但我始终记得妈妈在哪里结束，我在哪里开始。穿她的鞋，但走自己的路，这正是妈妈想给我的。（赵菲菲译自洛杉矶时报网站2010年3月31日）
