LESSON 55 QUITE A MAN
第五十五課 真正的男人
"I think I shall soon be quite a man," said Tom to a girl whom he knew well, as she sat by the gate of her home.
我認(rèn)為我很快就會(huì)成為一個(gè)男人,湯姆向坐在他家門(mén)口的女孩說(shuō)道
"Well," said she,"some boys think they are men, but they act as boys for all that. If you were a man, Tom, you would not throw plum stones at me. You would not tease my dog. You would not put your foot out to make me fall down. You would not laugh when you see rude boys do things which you know are wrong."
是的,小女孩回答,有的男孩子認(rèn)為自己是男人,但是他們表現(xiàn)卻像個(gè)男孩。湯姆,如果你是男人,你就不會(huì)向我扔紫色的石塊,不會(huì)嘲笑我得到小狗。你不會(huì)伸出你的腳讓我摔倒。你不會(huì)嘲笑那些無(wú)理的男孩做著一些你知道錯(cuò)的事情。
"You may be a big boy, and you may be an old boy, but I shall not think you a man till you act as a man. No true man would do a mean thing. A true man is brave and just. He will do what is right, and fear not. Think of that, Tom."
也許你是個(gè)大男生,也許你是個(gè)老男生但我絕不認(rèn)為你是個(gè)男人,除非你表現(xiàn)的像個(gè)男人。真正的男人不會(huì)做吝嗇的事情。真正的男人勇敢剛正。他會(huì)做對(duì)每一件事,不會(huì)畏懼。想想這些吧,湯姆。
"Yes," said Tom, "I will. What you say is quite true. I must try to be a good boy, that I may grow up to be a good man."
是的,湯姆回答道,我會(huì)的。你說(shuō)的很對(duì)。我要讓自己成為個(gè)好男孩,那樣我才能長(zhǎng)成好的男人。
