I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I feel ordinary inside, but I know ordinary kids don’t make others run away screaming (尖叫) on the sports field. Ordinary kids don’t get stared (盯着) at everywhere they go. It’s all because of my face.
I’ve got used to (习惯于) how I look. I know how to pretend (假装) I don’t see the faces people make. My family have learned to do this too: me, Mom, Dad, and Via. In fact, Via isn’t so good at it. Once, some older kids made noise about me. I didn’t hear them, but Via felt angry and berated them.
Via doesn’t see me as ordinary, and Mom and Dad don’t either. They see me as special. I think the only person who knows how ordinary I am is me. My name is August. I won’t describe (描述) my face—whatever you’re thinking, it may be worse.
Next week, I will start the fifth grade. Because I’ve never been to a real school, I have a lot on my mind. Can I run freely on the field with other kids? I can almost smell the freedom! ... will the teachers and kids be nice to me? Will I have friends?
People think I haven’t been to school because of how I look, but that’s not it. Do you know how many surgeries (手术) I had? Twenty-seven. The big ones were before I turned four, so I don’t remember them. I had two or three surgeries every year after that. ▲ That’s why my parents decided it was better for me not to go to school. But I’m much stronger now.

### 文章部分
我知道我不是一个普通的十岁孩子。我内心觉得自己很普通，但我知道普通孩子不会让别人在运动场上尖叫着跑开。普通孩子无论走到哪里都不会被人盯着看。这都是因为我的脸。
我已经习惯了自己的长相。我知道如何假装没看到人们的表情。我的家人也学会了这样做：我、妈妈、爸爸和维娅。事实上，维娅并不太擅长这样。有一次，一些大孩子对我指指点点、说三道四。我没听到他们的话，但维娅很生气，还斥责了他们。
维娅不觉得我普通，爸爸妈妈也不觉得。他们觉得我很特别。我觉得唯一知道我有多普通的人就是我自己。我叫奥古斯特。我不会描述我的脸——不管你怎么想，实际情况可能更糟。
下周，我将开始上五年级。因为我从未去过真正的学校，所以我有很多心事。我能和其他孩子在操场上自由奔跑吗？我几乎能闻到自由的气息！……老师和同学们会对我好吗？我会有朋友吗？
人们认为我没上学是因为我的长相，但事实并非如此。你知道我做过多少次手术吗？二十七次。大的手术在我四岁之前就做了，所以我不记得了。从那以后，我每年要做两三次手术。这就是为什么我的父母认为我不上学更好。但我现在强壮多了。
