21、his.

He turned his head to one side. “What change? he asked, trying to appear calm.“When the promise was made two years ago”, she said, “my love did not belong to

23、anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”“I wish you to understand, Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life.

24、rgive me and keep my secret.”“I will do both those things, ”he said.

I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple

27、 truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with. Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But

28、I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English”, for example. But they seem just as bad, as if eve

29、rything is limited, including peoples perceptions(认识) of the limited English speaker.
