参考答案：(译文)
A：1997年，一位中国学者说赛珍珠“透过文学，凭一己之力改变了美国人心目中被扭曲的中国人形象”。
B: Yes, she is a cross-cultural envoy between the West and China. Known by her beautiful Chinese name一Sai Zhenzhu, she is very popular with Chinese people.
A:这的确是个美丽的名字。1892 年，赛珍珠出生于美国弗吉尼亚州。在她三个月大时，父母带她一起来到中国。随后的四十年，赛珍珠几乎都是在中国度过的。
B: That’s why Pearl spoke both Chinese and English from childhood. She had learned to speak Chinese before she learned to speak English. She was most of the time taught by her mother and by a Chinese tutor. She grew up playing with Chinese children who referred to her as a “foreign devil”.
A:孩子们肯定没有恶意。后来呢，赛珍珠回到了美国，就读于伦道夫·梅康女子学院，她学习成绩优异并小有名气。然而，故乡对于她来说却十分陌生，她反倒觉得自己是异乡人。
B: Yes, it was very complicated for her. After her graduation, she returned to China to take care of her sick mother. Her first and only biological child, Carol, was born a few years after she got married. Soon afterwards, she found out that her daughter was severely retarded. Almost at the same time, her mother died after a long illness.

B: A Pulitzer and a Nobel, this is amazing! And her works were too many to mention. Her novels deal with the interactions between East and West. This is why she engaged in some activities in political journalism, perhaps?
A:是的，赛珍珠对很多问题都非常关注，如纽约移民的生活和印度独立运动。此外，她还不断为争取妇女权利而斗争。当然，赛珍珠一生都在致力于帮助美国民众了解中国文化。
B: Indeed. In her lifetime she succeeded in opening Americans’ minds about social, racial and gender injustice in her writing and her acts. She also had a profound influence on the way Americans think about China and about international relations in general.
