文章B
To improve human relationships may seem too grand an objective to an individual person. But if each of us starts doing something about it, the world may become a much pleasant one to live in. The five touching stories in the following text may give us some clues as to how we should treat the people around us.
对于个人来说,改善人际关系或许是一个太大的目标。但如果我们每个人为这个目标做一点努力,那么我们在这个世界上会生活得更愉快。接下来的这篇文章中有5个感人的故事,这些故事或许对我们应该如何对待身边的人给一些提示。
What We Can Do to Improve Human Relationships
如何改善人际关系
Every day we encounter many people. How do we deal with them? Following are five lessons to make us think about the way we treat people.
每天都会碰到很多人,我们应如何与他们相处呢?以下的五个例子,能引发我们思考该如何对待他人这一问题。
First Important Lesson ― Cleaning Lady
第一课 清洁女工
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
刚上大学的第二个月,老师安排了一次突击测验。我是一位勤恳认真的学生,前面的题都轻轻松松地做完了,最后一题把我难住了:“学校的清洁女工叫什么名字?”
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would be counted in for our quiz grade.
这一定是开玩笑。我见过那清洁女工几次,她很高、深色头发、五十几岁,但我怎么会知道她的名字?我交了卷,空着最后一个问题没做。临下课前,有一位同学问最后一题算不算分。
Absolutely, said the professor. "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'."
“当然算分,”教授回答道,“在你们一生的经历当中,你们会遇见很多人,每一位都很重要。他们值得你去注意和关心,即使你所要做的仅仅是微笑和一声‘你好’”。
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
我一直没有忘记这个教训,我也记住了她的名字叫多萝西。
