当笔者听完祖先们长长的故事之后,决定把自己化成他们,看看效果会如何

谈到移民的后代,他们的根源和文化在一个人一生的形成和发展都起到重要的作用。因此,我们为五个人戏剧性的改头换面,将他们化妆成自己的祖先,重现其存档的家庭照片上的容貌。

首先是安迪,他要再现他曾曾祖父照片上的的容貌。安迪的曾曾祖父当年为了躲避屠杀,在世纪之交从伊朗北部逃到美国。

First up was Andy, who was recreating a photo of his great-great-grandfather.

曾经一度,安迪的祖父走投无路,被告知自己必须放弃信仰,否则就要被枪毙,但他祖父勇敢地拒绝了。幸运的是,枪里没有子弹,他的祖父惊险地逃过一死。

Andy's great-great-grandfather came to America from Northern Iran around the turn of the century, escaping the massacres which were occurring then.

那么现在,安迪的改造时间开始了!

化妆完毕。安迪看起来和他的曾曾祖父一样风度翩翩。“这很有意思,因为年长的人都说我长得有点像我曾曾祖父。现在我完全就是他了。

左右两张照片完全一样。

Spot on.

珍妮重现从古巴移民的祖母的一张照片。

Jenny was recreating a photo of her grandmother, who immigrated from Cuba.

1967年她的祖母通过自由飞行移民到美国。当时古巴卡斯特罗在位,政府对想要移民的对象保持密切关注,因此她的祖母被迫移民美国的时候分文未带。

Her grandmother came over in 1967 via the freedom flights. When Castro came into office, her grandmother was forced to leave everything behind because of the close eye the government kept on people who wanted to leave.

珍妮完美再现了她祖母的容貌。“对我来说,移民是个大事。要知道这样就再也见不到你的家人了……家人间没有机会见面,只能偶尔通个电话,那算什么!?”

Her mother's father died when she was one, and her mother died when she was about 10-years-old. Selorm described her mother as thoughtful and someone she would be honored to grow up like.

瑟勒姆的改造时间开始了!

“我只了解她传给我的文化的东西。所以,为了能够穿着这身衣服,并与我母亲和祖母(这件衣服原先的主人)有个连接,感觉真的很不错……因为我不总是和母亲分享那些东西”。

一开始,奥基的祖父首先来到美国,并给家里寄钱。后来奥基的祖母决定,更重要的是家人团聚,所以她卖掉他们所有的财产,并跟随丈夫到美国。

Originally, Ochi's grandfather came to America first and was sending money back to their family. Ochi's grandmother decided it was more important for the family to be together, so she sold all their possessions and followed her husband to America.

奥基的改造时间开始了!
