　　英語散文一

He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him on the niceties of behaviour; without a word of objection, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John -- a veteran procrastinator – said, "You're right. I guess I will."

他會很慷慨地把自己的磁帶借給弟弟，並告誡他如何有良好的行爲舉止;他會毫無怨言地把燒爐子用的劈柴抱進來。有一天當我建議他在晚飯前開始做作業時，約翰這個一貫拖拉的傢伙居然說：“您是對的，我想我會做的。”

When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn't know what caused the changes, she said laughing. "It must be his coat!" Another teacher told him she was giving him a good mark not only because he had earned it but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children in a long time, “Could this be John?" he asked, looking up to John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.

當我對他的一個老師提起這件事，並說我不知道這是爲什麼時，她笑着說：“一定是因爲他的大衣!”另一個老師告訴他，她要給他一個好成績，不僅僅因爲他理應獲得，還因爲她喜歡他的大衣。在圖書館裏我們遇見了一位朋友，他已經很長時間沒有看見我們的孩子了。看着約翰長高的個子，品評着他大衣的樣式，這位朋友不禁問道：“這是約翰嗎?” 同時向約翰伸出了手，完全是紳士間的行爲。

John and I both know we should never mistake a person's clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practising standards of excellence in though, speech, and behaviour, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside.

約翰和我都知道不應該以貌取人，可穿着優雅爲世世人看，在思想上、言語上、行動上實踐優秀的標準，以達到內外的和諧統一，這又另當別論。

Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I've remembered with a keen sting what it felt like to be in the eighth grade -- a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat. The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast panorama where all the doors are open. And if I were there right now, I would picture myself walking through those doors wearing my wonderful, magical coat.

有時看着約翰上學去，我就不禁怦然心動，想起自己上8年級時的感覺——那時嘗試不同的生活方式就如同試衣服一樣簡單。整個世界、整個未來在你面前展開，猶如一幅巨大的畫卷，那裏的每一扇門都敞開着。如果此刻我能回到那兒，我會在這些門間穿行，身上就穿着那件奇妙的、帶有魔力的大衣。

"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, l read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me" said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I said. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled", 'Gravity'" Over their laughter, I told them, 'I'm choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."

“我首先想到的是我那即將出世的女兒的幸福生活，”邁克爾答道。“當時我躺在地上，我記起我有兩種選擇：我可以選擇活着，也可以選擇死。我選擇了活。”“你難道不害怕嗎?你失去知覺了嗎?”我問。邁克爾接着說，“……那些護理人員棒極了。他們不停地告訴我我會好的。但當他們把我推進手術室，我看到醫生和護士臉上的表情時，我真是嚇壞了。在他們的眼裏，我讀出了‘他是個死人。’我知道我應該採取行動。”“你採取了什麼行動?”我問道。“有一位人高馬大的護士大聲衝我問問題，”邁克爾說。“她問我是否對什麼過敏。‘是的，’我說。醫生和護士都停下手中的活兒等我回答。我深吸一口氣大聲說出，‘萬有引力。’他們的笑聲未了，我告訴他們，‘我選擇活着。把我當活人而不是死人來做手術。’”

Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I 1eamed from him that every day we have a choice to live fully. Attitude is邁克爾活了下來，這要感謝他那些醫生的高明醫術，但也要歸功於他那令人讚歎的態度。我從他那裏學到了我們每天都有機會充實地活着，關鍵是態度
