“我在十几岁的时候是个瘾君子。当时,我与任何一个绝望的黑人青年一样,不知道生命的意义何在。”奥巴马在自传《源自父亲的梦想》中这样写道,“烟酒、大麻……我希望这些东西能够驱散困扰我的那些问题,把那些过于锋利的记忆磨到模糊。我发现我了解两个世界,却不属于其中任何一个。” “I was a drug addict when I was a teenager, and I was like any desperate black youth who did not know what life meant.” Obama wrote in his autobiography “From Father’s Dream, ”Alcohol and tobacco, marijuana ... I hope these things will disperse the problems that plague me and blur those too sharp memories, and I find that I understand two worlds but not one of them.“ ”
