第12章 What the Professor Teaches教授的教诲

早安心语

I am not afraid of tomorrow,for I have seen yesterday and love today.

我不害怕明天,因为我经历过昨天,又热爱今天。

By Joann C.Jones

During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz.I breezed through the questions until I read the last one,“What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”

Surely this was a joke.I had seen the cleaning woman several times,but how would I know her name?I handed in my paper,leaving the last question blank.

Before the class ended,one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade.“Absolutely,”the professor said.“In your careers,you will meet many people.All are significant.They deserve your attention and care,even if all you do is smile and say hello.”

I've never forgotten the valuable lesson.I also learned her name was Dorothy.

李起 译

我在护理学院读二年级时,教授对我们进行了一次测验。我轻松地做着试题,直到读了最后一道题:“学院的女清洁工叫什么名字?”这肯定是个玩笑。我曾见过女清洁工好几次,可我怎么会知道她的名字呢?空着最后一道题,我交了试卷。

下课前,有个学生问最后一道题是否计入我们的成绩。“当然!”教授答道,“在你们的职业生涯中,将遇到许多人,每个人都同样重要,他们都应得到你们的关心和照顾,纵然你们所能做的仅是冲他们微笑并问好。”

我从未忘记那珍贵的一课,而且我也记住了女清洁工的名字叫多萝西。

    Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque(IV) 怪诞蔓藤花纹的传说

    This work is a collection of previously-published short stories from the dark pen of Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1840. In this volume we examine some Tales of The Grotesque And Arabesque from the dark pen of Edgar Allan Poe. He was born Edgar Poe in Boston Massachusetts on January 19th 1809 and tragically orphaned at an early age. Taken in by the Allan family his education was cut short by lack of funds and he went to the military academy West Point where he failed to become an officer. His early literary works were poetic but he quickly turned to prose. He worked for several magazines and journals until in January 1845 The Raven was published and became an instant classic. Thereafter followed the works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and pgsk.com died at the early age of 40 in 1849 in Baltimore, Marylan
  • More Pricks Than Kicks

    More Pricks Than Kicks

    His first published work of fiction (1934), More Pricks Than Kicks is a set of ten interlocked stories, set in Dublin and involving their adrift hero Belacqua in a series of encounters, as woman after woman comes crashing through his solipsism. More Pricks contains in embryo the centrifugal world of Beckett's men and women. She lifted the lobster clear of the table. It had about thirty seconds to live. Well, thought Belacqua, it's a quick death, God help us all. It is not.
  • The Dream

    The Dream

    Renowned for his nonfiction accounts of the historical events of which he was both an eyewitness and shaper, Churchill was also an occasional writer of fiction. This is one of his fictional works—a short story in which the ghost of his father, Randolph, pays him a visit. Churchill reveals to his father all the goings-on in the world since his death in 1985, leaving out one crucial detail—his own important part in determining the unfolding of these events.At once lyrical and nostalgic, The Dream is a fascinating foray into creative narration for Churchill—demonstrating a surprising weightiness of emotion and significance.
  • Burial at Thebes

    Burial at Thebes

    Commissioned to mark the centenary of the Abbey Theatre in Dublin in 2004, The Burial at Thebes is Seamus Heaney's new verse translation of Sophocles' great tragedy, Antigone - whose eponymous heroine is one of the most sharply individualized and compelling figures in Western drama. Faithful to the 'local row' and to the fierce specificity of the play's time and place, The Burial at Thebes honours the separate and irreconcilable claims of its opposed voices, as they enact the ancient but perennial conflict between family and state in a time of crisis, pitching the morality of private allegiance against that of public service. Above all, The Burial at Thebes honours the sovereign urgency and grandeur of the Antigone, in which language speaks truth to power, then and now.
  • Endgame

    Endgame

    Originally written in French and translated into English by Beckett, Endgame was given its first London performance at the Royal Court Theatre in 1957. HAMM: Clov! CLOV: Yes.

Our ideals! CLOV: Then she hasn't forgotten us.
