The important things life teaches you
教会你生命中最重要的事情!
During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a careful student and had breezedthrough the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" 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 could I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "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′. I′ve never forgotten that lesson. I later learned her name was Dorothy.
当我在护理学校第二个月的时候,我们的教授给了我们一次测验,我是一个认真的学生,我顺畅的做着题目直到最后一个问题,那个打扫学校的女士的名字是什么?我确信这一定是个笑话,我遇见过那个女士很多次,她个子高高的,黑色的头发,大约50岁,但是我怎么会知道她的名字,我交上了我的试卷,最后一题是空白的,在课程结束之前,一个学生问到最后一题是不是会计入我们的学分中,“当然了”教授说,“在你的生涯中你会遇到许许多多的人,他们都是意义重大的,他们值得你的关心和注意,虽然你所做的只是微笑着说“你好”。
我再也没有能忘记这堂课,我后来了解到她的名字叫桃乐西。
