I was born in New York City and grew up in an apartment building ①there. My family, with
Irish roots, lived on the top floor. People of German, Italian, and Puerto Rican backgrounds
lived on different floors. When I climbed the stairs to our apartment, I often ran into people
on the other floors. They said "Hi!" to me and sometimes offered me tea and sweets. I liked my
neighbors and had nice chats with them. I gradually got interested in foreign cultures.
Each apartment had an emergency exit. When I felt sad, I went through it and sat on the
emergency stairs for a while. For me, the exit was like the hatch of a submarine. Outside, I
often felt like I was in another world, a world of imagination.

ウ です。

ドイツ系、イタリア系、プエルトリコ系の「背景」を持った人々がそれぞれ別の階に住んでいた
と直訳でも解釈出来ますが、正確を期すれば「生い立ち」となります。
