First Love Mixtape: Side A (Encore)

Jax_:用Kimi查询到：“First Love Mixtape”是《Modern Love》专栏于2020年7月11日刊登的一篇散文，作者是Jaeah Lee。这篇文章以一盒自制的“初恋混音带”为线索，回忆了她与高中时期第一位男友之间的情感经历，并穿插了移民家庭背景、种族认同、以及成长过程中对爱与自我价值的理解。文章通过每一首歌的选取与交换，展现了两个亚裔美国青少年在加州郊区如何借助音乐来探索彼此的情感世界，也反映了她如何在多年后重新审视这段关系的意义。 以下是这篇散文的英文原文节选（非全文）： I still have the tape.

I gave it to him in the parking lot after school, pressed into his palm like contraband. He listened to it on his Discman that night, he told me later, lying on his bedroom floor, headphones on, heart full. 你可以通过《纽约时报》官网的 Modern Love专栏页面 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/11/style/modern-love-first-love-mixtape.html 阅读全文。
