摘要
五年前,你们不愿参加我的婚礼。我不能说对此完全没有预料到,你们也不能说感到意外。你们让我清楚知道,根据犹太教严格的教条和规定,犹太教信徒是不允许跨信仰联姻的。而我也清楚表明,我已不再信奉犹太教,而且对印度书籍、音乐和人民的兴趣与日俱增。我意识到那个与我共度余生的人要会欣赏甚至支持我对南亚语言、历史和文化的热爱。
It＇s been five years since the wedding you wouldn＇t attend. I can＇t say ! didn＇t see it coming, but you can＇t say you didn＇t see it coming either. You made it clear, with the strict Jewish upbringing and rules about marrying in the faith. I made it clear, with the ditching of services and my burgeoning interest in India--its books, music and people. I realised that I needed to spend my life with someone who would appreciate, even encourage, my love of South Asian language, history and culture.
