Unit 13 T ext A

Live and Learn活到老，学到老

Good grades and a good job are easy to get. A good education is a different story.好分数和好工作都不难获得，但接受良好的教育却是另一回事。

Her eyelids sank from lack of sleep, but Teresa’s exams were always perfect, 由于睡眠不足，特丽萨的眼睑松垂，但她考试成绩总是出类拔萃，her writings longer than required（被动语态）, 作文写得比要求的长，and her math problems rewritten to ensure cleanness. 数学题目要再做一遍，以保证卷面整洁。She played the violin and the piano, 她拉小提琴、弹钢琴，volunteered at the hospital, 去医院做志愿者，participated in various school clubs and enjoyed none of them.参加学校里的各种俱乐部活动，虽然这些她一样也不真的喜欢。It seemed that she was born to succeed and was more than willing to sacrifice herself in the name of achievement. 她好像天生就是为了取得成功，甘心情愿地把自己牺牲在成就名声当中。I watched her as her laughter stopped. 我一直关注着她，直到她笑不出来。And on T eresa’s graduation day,特丽萨毕业的那天，she wore the valedictory medal, but her eyes were empty.她带着全优毕业生的奖章，双眼却空洞无神。

Many students today display a worrying tendency to choose universities, fields of study and careers on the basis of earning potential. 当今许多学生表现出一种让人不安的倾向，他们基于将来能挣多少钱的考虑来选择院校、研究领域和职业。In a large 1989 survey of college students all over the U.S., 1989年对全美国大学生的一项调查显示，72 percent of the students reported that their primary goal in attending college was to make more money upon graduation. 72％的学生承认他们上大学的目的就是为了毕业后多挣钱。This state of mind came with the present generation. 这种精神状态同当代大学生一起而来。Studies show that the majority of baby boomers attended college to develop themselves,研究表明，1947-1961年间人口生育高峰时出生的大学生上大学是为了自我发展，their critical（批判性的）thinking skills and their personal philosophies of life.培养批判思维能力和个人的人生哲学。

Nationally, the number of students going into business-related fields has 从整个国家来看，从事与经济相关工作的毕业生人数已明显增长。and emphases.这一增长主要由于教育和职业重点的转变所致。At Duke, economics is now the most popular major, attracting nearly 15 percent of the undergraduates, while history majors are only 5 percent of the undergraduate population. Thirty years ago the situation was reversed, with economic and business administration majors together being 8.7 percent of the undergraduates and almost 12 percent of the undergraduates declaring themselves history majors. The number of English majors has also decreased, from 9 percent in 1969 to 5.5 percent today.在杜克大学，经济学是现在最热门的专业，吸引了大约整个学校15％的本科生，而历史学系的学生仅占整个本科生比例的5％。三十年前，情况恰好相反，主修经济学和商业管理的学生仅占本科生比例的7％，而几乎12％1~本科生是主修历史学的。现在，主修英语语言文学的学生数量也有所下降，从1969年的9％下降到当今的5．5％。

Degrees in economics are popular and likely to offer their holders high salaries without the added effort of medical or law school. And given the goals of the college students of this generation, such options are attractive.经济学学位现在

很是吃香，很有可能让毕业生拿到高薪，也不用像攻读医学或法律那样需要付出更多的努力。从当代大学生的目标来看，经济学类确实很吸引人。

But certainly, everything has its price. With this wrong idea of education, students convince themselves again and again that learning is a mechanism by which one reaches other goals. Having accepted this idea, students learn to demand little from their courses, little from their professors and little from themselves. They are satisfied with the game of institutionalized education –play by the rules, cheat in the exams, win the degree.当然·办任何事情都要付出

代价。由于这种错误教育观点的误导，学生们更加相信学习是个机械的手段，通过它可以实现其他的目标。接受了这种观点之后，学生变得不愿再从所学课程中学习知识，不愿再从老师、再从自己那里学习知识。他们满足于这种程式化的教育--按规则游戏，考试时作弊，最后获得学位。

Educational administration encourages this attitude with an overemphasis on grades and standardized tests. The college admission process, an imperfect science, can rarely distinguish between those students committed to learning and those committed to other aims. As a result, the selection process often unintentionally reinforces this overemphasis on concrete indicators of achievement. In this environment students are reminded that the measure of success in the GPA, and that their energies are best spent in pursuit of the goal rather than an exploratory pursuit for understanding. More often than not, they destroy themselves in the process.教育机构鼓励这种态度，过分强调考试成绩和标准化考试。大学录取的过程并不完备，很难区分哪些学生是致力于学问研究的，哪些学生是想实现其他目的的。结果，录取过程无意间更加强调突出了学生的具体考分。在这种环境下，学生提醒自己成功的标准就是各科成绩的平均积分点，把绝大部分精力花在了追求目标而不是探求知识的理解上。在这一过程中，他们经常毁了自己。

Despite all the facts above, there is still hope to remain. Weak signs of idealism have been found in this generation, and strong individuals with deep desires to learn remain calm by the goals of their fellows. Those students whose curiosity cannot be satisfied are few, but easy to identify in person. They learn for the sake of learning, ask questions on any subject and regard each experience as an opportunity for a mental adventure.虽然有上面提到的各种现实j但仍能看到希望存在。理想主义的微弱迹象已经在当代人身上发现。有人意志坚强，渴求知识，不为同伴的目标吓倒。这些求知欲难以满足的学生虽然数量不多，但能够相对容易地分辨出来。他们为知识而学习，提问涉及各学科的问题，把每一次经历都看做思维探险的机

会。

It is both idealistic and practical to suggest that universities should encourage a “life of the mind”. The person who likes to go to work in the morning will be more productive and more creative, and he will stop working late in life. By finding joy in their work, many individuals teach by example, and those around them develop a respect for education and an ability to find value and enjoyment in any situation.大学应该鼓励"思维生活"，这既具理想化，又切合实际。喜欢一大早就工作的人更具有创造性，效率也高，直到晚年才会停止工作。他们在工作中找到了快乐，以自身为榜样，周围的人也对教育产生了敬意，逐渐有了一种在任何情况下发现价值和快乐的能力。

The process of learning and developing is more important than the result. Understanding this can help find potential happiness in every moment, while focusing only on the result provides very short happiness upon achievement.

学习和自我发展的过程要比结果重要，理解了这一点，就可以在每时每刻发现潜在的欢乐，而仅仅注重结果只会在取得成就的瞬间有即逝的快乐。

In treating learning as a means to an end, this generation has damaged the quality of their education and consequently, the quality of their life. Unaware and unashamed, some students are sacrificing their loves and their inner lives to pursue superficial goals, thereby, reinforcing social abnormalities which will persist until every Teresa takes responsibility reversing the trend.当代人把学习当做实现某一目的的手段，这损害了他们所受教育的质量，继而，他们生活的质量也受到损害。既没有这种意识，也不感到羞耻，一些学生牺牲了自己的爱和内心生活来追逐表面的目标，结果加强了教育的社会畸形发展，只有当每一个像特丽萨那样的人承担起责任时，这一社会潮流才会扭转。

Save money for College on My Own自己挣钱上大学

I will never forget the day in my first year in high school.我永远不会忘记读高一时的一天，I was sitting on the stairs descending into the basement, 我坐在通往地下室的楼梯上，putting my head in my hands and crying out in despair to my parents that I would never be able to save enough money for college. 双手抱着头，绝望地向父母哭诉说，我怎么也攒不够上大学的钱。My parents tried to console me, 父母极力安慰我，but it seemed impossible to save $64,268, the cost for the private institution that I desperately wanted to attend.可当时要挣够64268美元(这是我迫切想上的那所私立大学的费用)，看来是不可能的。

Now let me tell you the amazing story of how I earned this sum of money.现在让我告诉你我挣这笔钱的令人惊异的过程。

It all began with a paper route in Ankeny, Iowa. 一切是从我在依阿华州安克尼市送报纸时开始的。I hated delivering that route, but was determined to stick it out for six months until my family moved to Wausau, Wisconsin.我虽然很讨厌送报纸的那条路线，还是决定坚持下去，直到六个月后我们家搬往威斯康星州的沃索市。With a few meager dollars from my paper route, 随着每次送报纸换来的几块钱，my savings began to develop. 我的存款开始增加。My next job was with an athletic company as a telephone customer service representative.我的第二份工作是给一家运动员公司做电话客户服务代理。The savings account continued to grow very slowly. 存折上的钱增长速度仍然很慢。Then came the fall of my junior year of high school, and I began to work as a waitress at a restaurant. 在我上高二的秋季，我开始在一家餐馆当服务生。It was hard work, but the money began to roll in and this job paid at least twice as much money per hour.之后，工作很辛苦，但钱来得快，每小时的报酬至少要比原来多出一倍。

By the time my senior year arrived, I had saved a considerable amount of money. 等到了高三，我已经存了数目可观的一笔的钱。This was encouraging, 这颇让人鼓舞，but I knew that I would also need some help, 但我知道这仍不够，so I began the process of applying for scholarships. 所以就开始申请奖学金。Sometimes it was discouraging because I was rejected again and again. 由于接二连三地遭到拒绝，有时我颇感沮丧。Then, my first scholarship offer came in, 后来我等来了第一笔奖学金，$2,000 a year to play tennis.每年2000美元，条件是我得为学校打网球。This is only a small dent at a school that costs approximately $14,000 a year, 进这所大学每年需要高达14000美元的学费，这2000美元只是杯水车薪，but it was a start. 但仍不失为一个良好的开端。Several other academic scholarships also came my way and soon my scholarships were up to $9,050. 之后，我又获得了几项学科奖学金，很快，奖学金的总额达到9050美元。With the scholarships and my savings, 有了奖学金，再加上我自己的存款，I had enough money for my first year!第一年的学费足够了。

Another interesting development emerged. 随之又有了进展，很有意思。I began testing out of classes. 我开始参加不同科目的免修考试。Running anxiously to the mailbox in anticipation of my test scores became part of my daily routine. 每天焦虑不安地冲向邮箱，盼望能取得考试成绩，这成了我生活的一部分。Excitement mounted as test after test came back with passing results.当一个又一个考试通过的通知寄来时，Each passing result saved me approximately $1,000 in tuition and then enabled me to graduate a year early. 激动之情也与之俱增。每通过一门科目的考试可节省约1000美元学费，还可以提前一年毕业。This would save room and board expenses as well.这样又可以省下一笔住宿费和伙食费。

Finally, I entered the institution. 我终于进了大学。Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. 由于精打细算，大学第一年里我不用去打工。Then, summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. 但等暑假到来时，我得拼命去打工。I continued working as a waitress at night, 我

晚上继续在餐馆当服务生，instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. .同时每周几个上午去网球夏令营当教练，下午再做几个小时的秘书。Being a little overzealous,我太心急，I also decided to take a class at a community college. 打工的同时又在社区大学修了一门课。This class at the community college saved me $650. 这样，我又节省了

650美元。it was an exhausting summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at college夏季过完时，我已经疲惫不堪，盼望着开学后回到轻松一

点的大学生活。

During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, 大学的第二年和第三年，I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus admissions office answering phones. 我决定在学校招生办公室每周工作5小时，接听电话。This provided a little spending money and kept me from draining my savings. 这样我可以挣点儿零花钱，不必动用积蓄。The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. 等进入第四学年时，只要暑假能再挣到上一个暑假那么钱就够了，我对自己已经很有信心。I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, 可我同时还想去以色列学习3个星期。but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel.当时我犹豫不决，因为去以色列修学分要多花1600美元。About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! 大约过了两个星期，我妈妈打电话告诉我，说我在银行里还存有1600美元，而我早把它忘了! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money;关于以色列之行除了费用之外，我的另外一个顾虑是失去了挣钱的时间。however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. 然而，那个暑假我在家住了10个星期，10个星期中挣的钱相当于上个暑假在家14个星期中挣的钱。The way everything worked together to make this trip feasible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.各种巧合使得我的以色列之行得以实现，这是我一生所经历过的最激动人心的事情之一。

Finally my senior year of college came and to keep things satisfactory, 最后我进入大学的第四学年。为了事事都称心，I decided to buy a car. 我决定买辆车。I obviously did not have a lot of money to spend on a car and yet I wanted something reliable to make the ten-hour trips between home and school not too tiring. 我显然不可能有太多的钱花在车上。但我需要一辆性能可靠的车，以便我能轻松地往返于家和学校之间(约10小时车程)。I searched many newspaper ads and my father and I began searching for good used cars. 我开始搜寻报．纸上的广告。爸爸和我一起查找性能良好的二手车信息。I was ecstatic when I found a crashed car that had been fixed up for only $4,200.最后，我找到一辆撞毁后重新修复的车，只需4200美元，我欣喜若狂。

Then, I also attended an eight-week course o marriage and family in Colorado. 后来我还参加了科罗拉多州的一个为期8周的关于婚姻和家庭的研习班。This

was an incredible experience that taught me a great deal about my worldview and how to develop a healthy family. 这是一次不可思议的经历，它改变了我的世界观，并教会了我如何建立一个健康的家庭。This experience was also very costly, ：$4,000.然而这次经历的花费也不低：4000美元。I was surprised to find that I had graduated with no debt and so many remarkable journeys along the way.等我毕业时，我惊奇地发现，我没有任何负债，还在大学期间进行了那么多令人难忘的旅行。

This experience has shaped me in many important ways. 这些经历在我身上产生了重大影响。The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic. 首先我学到了坚定的敬业精神的重要性。Working long hours did a lot to mold my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. 连续工作数小时塑造了我的性格，并让我懂得了每一元钱的价值。It also made me learn how to craft creative solutions to difficult dilemmas.我还学会了在遇到难题时如何设计出富有创意的解决办法。

Whenever I am overwhelmed or afraid of the future, 每当我对未来感到不知所措或惧怕时，I can remember my $64,268 miracle.我就会想到我那64268美元的奇迹。

山东自考英语二课文翻译

Unit 1 Text A How Difficult Is English? 英语有多难 Like the national push for Asian literacy （n.有文化，有教养，有读写能力）in Australia，就如澳大利亚在全国推行学亚洲语言一样，there has been foreign languages fervor[f??v?] in China，中国也掀起一股外语热，with English on top of the list. 在这股热潮中，英语高居榜首。English is not only taught at schools，colleges and universities，but also at evening classes，on radio and TV．不仅各级学校教英语，夜校、电台、电视台也都设有英语课程。Parents hire private tutors for their school children；父母为学龄的孩子聘请英语家教，adult English learners would sacrifice the weekend at an English corner in a public park practicing their spoken English with peop1e of the same interest and determination. 成年英语学习者会牺牲周末休息日，到公园参加英语角，与志趣相投的英语学习者练习口语。Is English such a difficult language that it really demands people to invest a large amount of time and energy before it is mastered ? 英语真的有这么难，需要人们投入大量的时间和精力才能掌握吗? The answer，if I am asked to offer，is undoubtedly，yes．如果我被问及这个问题，那么毫无疑问，我的答案是：是的。From my personal experience, 从我个人的经验来看，I think learning English means far more than learning its pronunciation，its grammatical rules，its words，etc．英语学习不仅仅是学习英语发音、语法规则、词汇等，It involves learning everything about the countries where it is used and the people who use it．它包括学习与使用该语言的国家和民族有关的所有内容。Without such a complete understanding of the language, 对英语没有这样全面的理解，the English a foreigner speaks will inevitably sound strange or even unintelligible though there is not anything wrong with his pronunciation，sentence structure and the words he uses．即使发音、句子结构、措辞毫无错误，一个外国人所讲的英语也难免听起来稀奇古怪甚至难以理解。The social customs and habits of the English-speaking people contribute a lot to the difficulty a foreigner has in learning it．讲英语民族者的社会风俗习惯增加了外国人学习英语的难度。Take the Chinese English learners for example．以学英语的中国人为例，" Hello "and "Good morning" may sound a little bit simple to Chinese people．"你好"和"早上好"是非常简单的。It is totally beyond the understanding of a Chinese English learner that native English speakers would be annoyed when they're addressed "Where are you going?"，which is a commonly used addressing among the Chinese．"你去哪儿?"是中国人常用的问候语，若英语母语者被问及"你去哪儿?"，他们会因此感到不悦，这一点让中国的英语学习者大为不解。Is there anything wrong with the English sentence structure ? 这个英语句子结构不对吗? Of course not．当然不是。It takes quite some time for a Chinese English learner to understand the western concept of privacy being violated in this address. 学英语的中国人得费点儿时间才能理解这一问候语侵犯了西方人的隐私。By the same token，同样，"Have you eaten?"(which is another addressing term the Chinese people usually use)will sound to native English speakers that the Chinese are so hospitable that they invite people to meals off-handedly. 英语母语者听到"你吃了吗?"(中国人常用的另外一个问候语)，会觉得中国人非常好客，会在事先毫无准备的情况下请人吃饭。Meanwhile，the Chinese would be shocked to hear，"Oh，it's very nice of you．When?"，if the addressee happens to have a craving for Chinese cooking and has not had his dinner yet.如果听话者此刻正希望品尝一下中国美食，又碰巧没有吃饭，他会回答"太好了，什么时候?"，中国人为此也会大吃一惊。 "We can say we are going to have chicken for dinner．Why can't we say pig，bull or sheep for dinner instead of pork，beef or mutton?" Chinese English learners may raise such questions．中国的英语学习者可能会这样问："我们可以说吃鸡，为什么不能说吃猪、吃牛、吃羊，而要说吃猪肉、牛肉、羊肉呢?"Figuring out the reasons for the peculiar English vocabulary is no easy task for Chinese English learners．对学习英语的中国人来说，为这些特殊的英语词汇找出理由并非易事。But the problem is that memorizing English words mechanically would be devastating and inefficient if they did not know what had happened in British history．问题在于如果不懂英国历史，死记硬背英语单词毫无效率。Thus learning English(and other languages as well)involves learning the history of the countries where it is spoken．所以说，学英语(其他语言亦如此)还包括学习使用该语言国家的历史知识。A task of this kind is more difficult for Chinese English learners than for people who speak

Unit 11 Cyber World A Famous Quote The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. - Bill Gates Bill Gates (1955- ), American business magnate, investor, philanthropist, and author. Gates is the former chief executive officer (CEO) and current chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen. Text A Cyber Love Pre-reading Questions: 1. Have you ever made a friend on the Internet? How did you develop your friendship? 2. What suggestions can you give if one hopes to make friends on the Internet? Thanks to the late 20th century technology, Maria of Denmark and Martijin of Holland met on a chatline. For months they’ve talked and sent letters to each other with the help of their computers as they found themselves falling head over heels in love. It was then that they decided to meet in the real, not only the virtual, world. It was not easy to arrange as the young man and his lady were separated by 700 very real kilometers, but the date was a success and Maria and M artijin have been living together happily ever since. They’ve created a home page to let the world know how they’ve found happiness via the Internet and introduce couples who’ve met under similar circumstances. Throughout history men and women have used a variety of means to find each other. Internet romance, according to some, is a bizarre method, and to others it is a natural way for the 90’s to meet potential mates. Romances formed on the Internet follow a characteristic script. The development of emotional intimacy is a long progress, sometimes taking several months. “Love at first byte” is rare although there are examples. The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chat rooms, are generally followed by increasingly self-revealing topics, and then after a while, the two strangers perceive each other as a true friend. Hearts open, an avalanche of e-mail crosses cyberspace carrying literary quality, and electronic messages are even enhanced with verse and virtual gifts (flowers, kisses, animated pictures). Could any heart with romantic inclinations resist? When you reach

必修二 Unit1 IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM寻找琥珀厅Frederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make. 弗雷德里克?威廉?我,普鲁士国王,从未想像过这恩赐与俄罗斯人会令人惊喜的历史。这个礼物,琥珀屋的,赐给这个名字,因为好几吨的琥珀被用来制造它。琥珀被选有一个美丽的黄棕色的颜色就像蜂蜜。房间的设计是别致的流行的日子。这也是一种珍惜用金子来装饰和珠宝,将国家的最好的艺术家们大约10年了。 In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors. 事实上,这个房间没有是作为礼物送人的。它是设计出用于弗雷德里克的宫殿。然而,普鲁士的下一任国王弗雷德里克威廉?我、就是琥珀属于,决定不去保持它。在1716他给了彼得最重要的东西。作为回报,沙皇送给他一群他最好的士兵。所以琥珀房成了沙皇的一部分在圣彼得堡冬宫。大约四米长,房间作为一个小接待大厅为重要的游客。 Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing. 后来,凯瑟琳二世琥珀屋的搬到一座宫殿外面圣彼得堡她在她的夏天。她告

Text A: 300 Hurdles Pre-reading Questions: 1. Have you ever done hurdles? What do you think of it? 2. What kinds of difficulties and challenges have you ever met in your life? Life may give you negative, but don’t despair – it may just develop into a beautiful picture one day. This year, I realized my theory that I have on life. Life is like a 300m hurdle race. Since I run the 300m hurdles, I would know what the race is like. The first thing to any race is worrying about whether you are going to win or not. This relates to worrying about the petty things in life. Does it really matter if you win? Is it really going to be the end of the world? Or will you be upset if you lose and forget about it? In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little. Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes. We each start at different spots, but the race is still the same distance for everyone. This relates to our lives taking us to different places and putting us in different situations, but hopefully we will end up in the same place, but maybe at different times. Now comes the beginning of the race. We all try to keep up with everyone and pace ourselves with other people. This symbolizes that at times in everyone’s lives we worry about fitting in or being the same as other people, instead of worrying about being unique. If anyone were the same, the world would be incredibly boring. Now comes the first hurdle. This hurdle is the easiest to get over because you are not worn out from running. We all make it over this hurdle with ease. This symbolizes those obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we

There Is Magic in a Word of Praise赞美之词的魔力 一次，一位百老汇喜剧演员做了一个噩梦：他梦见自己在一个座无虚席的剧场里讲故事、唱歌，数以千计的人们看着他—但是没有人笑或拍手。“即使一个星期能赚10万美元，”他说，“那也像人间地狱一般。” 不仅演员需要掌声，没有赞扬和鼓励，任何人都会失去信心。因此，我们都有着双重需求：被别人称赞以及懂得如何去称赞别人。说赞美的话是有技巧的，有正确的说法。比如，因为某些显而易见的成就而去表扬一个人，这不是真正的赞扬。你得运用辨别力和创造力。“您今晚的演讲很精彩、很有说服力，”一次，一位和蔼可亲的女士对一位商人说，“我禁不住想，您肯定也能当一名出色的律师。”听到这意外的溢美之词，那位商人像个男生般地脸红了。 无论声名显赫还是默默无闻，没有一个人会对真诚的赞赏无动于衷。耶鲁著名的英语教授威廉·里昂·费尔普斯讲述道:“一个炎热的夏日，我走进一家拥挤的饭馆吃中饭。服务员递给我菜单时，我说，‘今天厨房里的小伙子们肯定在受罪！’服务员惊讶地看着我说：‘来这儿的人都抱怨菜的味道不好，对服务评头论足，还埋怨太闷热。19年了，你是第一个对后面厨房里的厨师们表示同情的人。’人们所需要的，”费尔普斯下结论道，“是作为人能得到一点点关注。”在那种关注中，真诚是至关重要的。当劳作了一天的男人回家时看见孩子们将脸贴在窗上、张望着等待他，他也许会感到这种无声而珍贵的语言如甘露一般涤荡了他的心灵。 孩子们尤其渴望鼓励。童年时如果得不到善意的赞赏，将会危及性格的发展。一位年轻妈妈向A·W·比文牧师讲述了一件让人伤心的事：“我的小女儿常常不听话，我不得不批评她。但是有一天，她特别乖，没有做一件会挨批评的事。当天晚上，我给她盖好被子、准备下楼时，听见她在抽泣。我走回去，发现她把头埋在枕头里。她一边呜咽一边问：‘难道我今天还不够乖吗？’” “那个问题，” 那位妈妈说，“像把刀一样刺痛了我。当她做错事时，我总是急于纠正，可是当她努力表现得好些时，我却没有注意。我哄她睡觉时连一句称赞的话都没有。” 同样的准则——说友善的话——适用于所有的人际关系。我小时候住在巴尔的摩，当时街坊里开了一家新的药店，为此我们那位技能娴熟、资历颇深的药剂师老派克·巴洛很生气。他指责他的年轻对手出售廉价药品而且在配药时没有经验。最后，那位受到伤害的新来的药剂师考虑以诽谤罪起诉对方，于是他去见了一位明智的律师托马斯·海斯。“别把争端扩大化，”海斯建议说，“试试友善（地处理）。” 第二天，当顾客们告诉他他的对手在讲他坏话时，这位新药剂师说，一定是哪里发生误会了。“派克·巴洛，”他对他们说，“是这个镇上最好的药剂师之一。他能在任何一刻、任何一天或任何一晚配出急救药方。他的细心是我们所有人学习的榜样。这个街坊已经扩大了—有足够的空间同时容下我们俩。我把他的药店当作我学习的典范。” 当那位老人听说这些话时——因为称赞和丑闻一样会长着闲聊的翅膀迅速散播——迫不及待地要亲自见见这个年轻人，给他一些有用的建议。怨恨因真挚诚实的赞扬而化解了。 为什么我们大多数人对于那些能让其他人高兴的事实避而不提呢？“给生者一朵玫瑰,其意义远远胜于送给逝者华丽的花圈。”一位风度翩翩的老绅士以前常常顺路去新罕布什尔州靠近康韦的一家古董店里推销商品。有一天，等他走了以后，古董商的妻子说，她很想告诉他他的来访给他们带来了很多乐趣。丈夫回答说：“下一次我们告诉吧。” 第二年夏天，一个年轻女子来到店里，她自我介绍说是那个销售员的女儿。她说，她的父亲已经去世了。“从那天以后，”古董店老板说，“不管什么时候当我想到一个人的优点，我就会立即告诉他。也许我不再有另一个机会了。” 如同艺术家们在把美展示给别人的过程中能获得满足一样，任何一个掌握赞美艺术的人会发现它对给予者和接受者来说都是一种幸福。它给陈词滥调注入温暖和愉悦，将喧嚣的世界转变成优美的音乐。 每个人身上都有值得称道的地方。我们只是需要把它说出来。
