[双语] 父亲寄语:工作是种福气 　　I grew up in Lakeland, Louisiana, one of 12 children. We all lived on my parents’ subsistence farm. We grew cotton, sugar cane, corn, hogs1, chickens and had a large garden, but it didn’t bring in much cash. So when I was 12, I got a parttime job on a dairy farm down the road, helping to milk cows. We milked 65 cows at 5 in the morning, and again at 2 in the afternoon, seven days a week. 　　我在路易斯安那州的莱克兰长大，是家里12 个孩子之一。我们所有人都依赖父母自给自足的农场过活。我们种棉花、甘蔗、玉米，养猪、养鸡，还有一个大花园，但农场没办法让我们有多少收入，所以我在12 岁时在马路前面不远的一个奶牛场里找了一份兼职工作——帮忙挤牛奶。我们要在早晨5 点钟为65 头奶牛挤奶，下午2 点钟还要挤一次，一周七天不休息。 　　In the kitchen on
