He's called Bageye because he has
他被称为“泡泡眼”是因为
permanent bags under his eyes.
在他的眼下永远有两个大眼袋。
As a 10-year-old, along with my siblings,
作为一个十岁的孩子，与兄弟姐妹一同，
I dreamt of scraping off the poison
我设想着将除蝇纸上的
from fly-killer paper into his coffee,
毒药刮下来放到我父亲的咖啡中；
grounded down glass and sprinkling it
将玻璃摔碎然后
over his breakfast,
洒在他的早餐上；
loosening the carpet on the stairs
把台阶上的地毯弄皱，
so he would trip and break his neck.
这样他就会绊倒然后摔断脖子。
But come the day, he would always
但是，在当天他总是能
skip that loose step,
越过那节松了的台阶，
he would always bow out of the house
他总是会低着头就出门了，
without so much as a swig of coffee
而没有大口喝咖啡，
or a bite to eat.
也没有吃一口早餐。
And so for many years,
因此，这么多年来，
I feared that my father would die
我害怕我的父亲在我有机会
before I had a chance to kill him.
杀掉他之前就去世了。
(Laughter)
（笑声...)
Up until our mother asked him to leave
在我们的母亲让他离开，
and not come back,
并且再也不要回来之前，
Bageye had been a terrifying ogre.
“泡泡眼”一直是一个可怕的恶魔，
He teetered permanently on the verge of rage,
他永远都在愤怒的边缘徘徊，
rather like me, as you see.
这和我有些相像， 如你们现在看到的这样。
He worked nights at Vauxhall Motors in Luton
他在卢顿的沃克斯豪尔公司上夜班，
and demanded total silence throughout the house,
因此他要求在白天房子里要绝对安静。
so that when we came home from school
这就使得，当我们下午三点
at 3:30 in the afternoon, we would huddle
放学回家后，会挤在电视旁，
beside the TV, and rather like safe-crackers,
像破解保险箱的窃贼似的，
we would twiddle with the volume control knob
我们会转动电视上的声音调节钮，
on the TV so it was almost inaudible.

And at times, when we were like this,
每当我们这样做的时候，
so much "Shhh," so much "Shhh"
屋子里只会有许多
going on in the house
“嘘..." ”嘘..."的声音。
that I imagined us to be like
这让我想象我们就像
the German crew of a U-boat
德国U型潜艇上的船员似的，
creeping along the edge of the ocean
在大海的边缘悄悄潜行，
whilst up above, on the surface,
同时在上方的水面上，
HMS Bageye patrolled
“泡泡眼”号皇家海军在巡逻，
ready to drop death charges
随时准备着在听到第一声
at the first sound of any disturbance.
噪音时执行死刑。
So that lesson was the lesson that
所以，那节课给我的告诫正是：
"Do not draw attention to yourself
“无论在家里，还是在外面，
either in the home or outside of the home."
都不要将别人的注意力引到你身上。”
Maybe it's a migrant lesson.
也许这是对移民者告诫。
We were to be below the radar,
我们就像是暴露在雷达下的目标一样，
so there was no communication, really,
所以，在“泡泡眼”和我们之间
between Bageye and us and us and Bageye,
之际上并没有真正的交流。
and the sound that we most looked forward to,
而我们最期盼听到的声音，
you know when you're a child and you want
如大家所知那样，当你还是个孩子时，
your father to come home and it's all going to be happy
你盼望着你的父亲回家， 然后所以的一切都将幸福欢乐，
and you're waiting for that sound of the door opening.
这就会让你期待着家门被打开的声音。
Well the sound that we looked forward to
然而，我和我的兄弟姐妹所期盼的声音
was the click of the door closing,
是房门被关上时的声响，
which meant he'd gone and would not come back.
这就意味着我们的父亲出去了且不会回来了。
So for three decades,
因而，三十多年来，
I never laid eyes on my father, nor he on me.
我从未注视过父亲一眼， 而他也没注视过我。
We never spoke to each other for three decades,
在过去的三十多年， 我们从未交谈过，
and then a couple of years ago, I decided

to turn the spotlight on him.
将聚光灯投向他。
"You are being watched.
“你正在被监视，
Actually, you are.
真的，
You are being watched."
你正在被监视着”
That was his mantra to us, his children.
这是他对我们—他的孩子们， 所说的咒语。
Time and time again he would say this to us.
一次又一次他这样对我们念道。
And this was the 1970s, it was Luton,
这张照片就是1970年摄于卢顿，
where he worked at Vauxhall Motors,
他当时在沃克斯豪尔公司工作，
and he was a Jamaican.
他是牙买加人。
And what he meant was,
他说那些话的意思就是，
you as a child of a Jamaican immigrant
你作为一个牙买加移民者的孩子，
are being watched
你是时刻被人监视着的。
to see which way you turn, to see whether
有人监视你拐向哪条路，监视你
you conform to the host nation's stereotype of you,
是否遵守你所移入国家为你设立的模式，
of being feckless, work-shy,
表现的没有价值，游手好闲，
destined for a life of crime.
注定一生充满罪行。
You are being watched,
你正在被监视着，
so confound their expectations of you.
所以，把他们所有的期盼都打消吧。
To that end, Bageye and his friends,
最后，“泡泡眼”和他的朋友们，
mostly Jamaican,
大部分都是牙买加人，
exhibited a kind of Jamaican bella figura:
展示了一种良好的印象：
Turn your best side to the world,
把你最好的一面展示给世界，

If you have seen some of the images

in the '40s and '50s,

I asked my mom, "Whatever became of Summerwear?"

When the book came out,
