新视野大学英语第三册Unit 3课文翻译海德中学的办学宗旨是:如果你向学生传授诸如求真、勇敢、正直、领导能力、好奇心和关心他人等美德的话,学生的学习成绩自然就会提高。该校的创始人约瑟夫·高尔德声称学校的教学很成功。海德中学位于缅因州巴思市,每年的学费高达1.8万美元,因其教导问题少年有方而闻名遐迩。“我们并不把自己看作一所专为某一类孩子而开设的学校,”马尔科姆·高尔德说。他是约瑟夫的儿子,毕业于海德中学,现任海德中学校长。“我们把帮助孩子培养一种生活方式看作自己的职责,办法是倡导一整套能影响所有孩子的价值观念。”现在,乔·高尔德(约瑟夫·高尔德)正试图将他尚有争议的“品德第一”的理念向旧城区的公立学校推广。这些学校愿意将用于传统教学计划的税金用于实施这一新的教学方法。海德公立学校第一个教学计划始于1992年9月。但几个月后,该计划即告暂停。教师们对教学计划的高要求以及高强度工作所带来的压力表示抗议。今年秋天,海德基金会计划在巴尔的摩启动初步的公立学校教学计划。教师要接受培训,以便今后能在整个巴尔的摩体系内胜任工作。美国其他学校的领导们也在关注这个教学计划。去年秋天,在家长的一片抗议声中,海德基金会在康涅狄格州纽黑文市郊区的一所中学内启动了一个引人注目的教学计划。当地居民担心该校可能招进来旧城区的少数民族学生和问题学生。就像在缅因州那样,求真也在康涅狄格州的这所中学得到广泛推崇。在一堂英语课上,11名学生用最后的5分钟展开激烈的讨论,依照1-10的评分标准相互评价他们当天的课堂表现。“我得10分。”“我有意见。你既没做语法作业,也没做拼写练习。”“那好,就7分吧。”“你只能得6分。”“等等,我可是全力以赴的。”“是的,可你今天没提问。”在解释自己的教育方法时,乔·高尔德指出,对传统的教育体制不能只是改革。他说“无论怎样改革”,用马和马车“是改革不出汽车的”。 海德中学认为“每一个人都有自己的独特潜能”,这种潜能的基础是品格而不是智力或财富。良知和苦干受到推崇。成功由不断进步来衡量,而不是由学习成绩来评定。学生必须相互负责。为了避免美国中学使用的其他品格培养方案所引发的争议,高尔德解释说,“全力以赴”这一概念并不是要强迫学生接受某一套道德原则或宗教观念。海德中学的课程与那些为升入大学做准备的传统学校所开设的课程相似,包括英语、历史、数学和自然科学。但所有的学生都必须选修表演艺术和体育,还要提供社区服务。在每门课程中,学生都会得到一个综合了学习成绩和“努力程度”的分数。在巴思市,97%的海德中学毕业生都升入了大学本科。在海德中学的综合教育中,父母的参与是一个关键的组成部分。为了使孩子被该校录取,家长也必须同意接受并实践学校的思想和观点。家长们签约同意每月出席一次区域小组会议(共20个区域小组),每年去区域休养所三天,每年至少参加三次巴思市的研修班、讨论组和研讨会。在很多活动中,缅因州学生家长的出席率高达95%。乔和马尔科姆·高尔德都说,当孩子们见到自己的父母都在全力以赴时,他们也会竭尽全力。他们说,对许多家长而言,最困难的是让他们意识到自己的不足。公立学校学生家长的活动计划仍在制定之中。这项工作的困难要大得多,因为很难使家长相信他们的参与很有价值。在纽黑文市录取的100名学生中,有30%左右的家长出席了各类特别会议。这一低出席率违背了他们在教学计划开始实施时所做的承诺,当时海德中学的官员曾与300个家庭进行了面谈。巴思市一名在公立学校教书达14年之久的教师说,一旦问题得到解决,海德教学计划就会在公立学校中获得成功。他乐观地认为,一旦家长们投入到计划当中,他们就会成为孩子们日常行为的榜样,这与寄宿学校的学生家长完全不同。一名曾任教于旧城区学校的教师如今在从事纽黑文教学计划。他说,教师也能从中受益。“在这里,我们真正开始集中精力与每一个学生建立卓有成效的关系。我们的重点真的是先考虑师生关系,然后是师生共同探讨学业。而在传统的中学里,是先考虑教师和教材的关系,然后再考虑师生关系。” 师生关系在海德中学被进一步深化了。对教职员工的评估由学生来进行。19岁的吉米·迪巴蒂斯塔今年5月将从巴思校区毕业,并准备升入大学。对此他感到惊奇。几年前,他还觉得自己的前途“是在监狱,而不是在大学”。 迪巴蒂斯塔还记得他刚到海德中学时的情景。“我来这儿时,见人就侮辱,就咒骂。其他每所学校都会说:‘滚出去!我们这儿不要你。’我来到这儿,他们却说:‘我们有几分喜欢这种活力,但并不喜欢它消极的一面,我们要将它转化成积极的东西。’”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++以国家为背景探讨解决问题或做出决策的方式就意味着研究许多复杂的文化因素。它意味着设法评估这些因素对现代生活的影响,也意味着把握目前正在发生的变化。在日本,最重要的是你为什么单位工作。在对取向或决策过程进行分析时,这一点尤为重要。至少,它说明了美国工作流动性大而相比而言日本工作稳定性高的原因。尽管我们在许多方面存在差异,但这些差异并无优劣之分。一种特定的管理行为模式是由多个独特的文化因素复合发展而成的──因而仅在一定的文化中起作用。让我来描述一下三四种日本文化的特征,它们以某种方式影响着决策以及解决问题的方式。这些特征是相互联系的。首先,在日本,任何处理问题的方法或任何谈判都体现着“你对你”的方式,这有别于西方“我对你”的方式。差别在于:在“我对你”的方式中,双方都坦率地从自己的观点出发提出主张──他们说出自己想要什么,希望得到什么。如此一来就形成了对峙的局面,西方人也十分善于应付对峙局面。日本人所采用的“你对你”方式则立足于双方──自然而然地并常常是下意识地──力图理解对方的观点。因此,会晤的目标是双方共同努力减少对峙,谋求和谐。第二个特点基于“一致共识”及“由下而上”的原则。在日本,各阶层所有人员的想法和意见都会得到认真考虑。无论是在私人企业还是政府部门均是如此。在日本,人们力求团体的统一,不论这团体是家庭、公司还是国会。差别在于,西方式的决策多半源自高层管理人员,通常不征求中层管理人员或员工的意见;而在日本,最底层的人员也能提出想法,然后通过组织上传,对最后的决策产生影响。此谓“由下而上”。日本特有的交流方式也与西方的不同。即使生意没做成,日本商人也力求和睦相处,愿意花费必要的时间来确立“你对你”的交流方式,仅仅间接而巧妙地表达个人意见。这就产生了对时间的不同见解。在日本,把工作做得全面、彻底比西方那种按限期完成工作的态度更受推崇。由于侧重点的不同,日本人不仅在生产上讲求彻底,开会也讲求彻底。因此,美国人对许多日本公司接二连三的会议感到很厌烦。美国人总是急于做出具体决策,而日本人却试图制定一个大方向。另一方面,一旦签署了某个协议,却常常是日本人惊讶于西方人履行协议时的拖沓。日本人急于前行,而西方人因需要时间作详细计划,则可能落后。现在,虽然日本的工业和技术得到了高度发展,但它们并未取代人力能源和动力的根本力量。我这么说的意思是,日本人引以为豪的是,无论需要多少时间,他们都会把一项工作做完并做好。这需要有奉献精神和责任感,在这个机械时代里,它们仍然没有被抛弃。在我的工作领域──金融和证券业,常有西方人问我,野村证券公司是如何避免美国公司所面临的交易单流通堵塞的。我们也碰到过这个难题。东京证交所每天通常有2到3亿笔交易。这个交易额是纽约证交所的许多倍。怎样才能处理好这么巨大的数额呢?第一,我们拥有极为先进的计算机。第二,也是最重要的,负责处理这些交易的操作人员一直工作直到任务完成。也许20年后,或许用不了这么久,他们就会更加西方化,会坚持一到5点就下班回家。但在今天,大多数人依然坚持待到工作完成。这是对质量的真正关心。“紧要关头,鼎力相助”是日本人处理问题时的一个重要方面,存在于日本社会的各个阶层。几年前,松下公司遇到难关。在他们所采取的措施当中,有一项就是松下先生──公司的创始人和当时的董事长──调任销售部经理。同样,当我们野村证券公司五年前改用电脑系统时,新系统使700名员工失去了原来的工作。但我们并没有解雇他们;相反,我们将他们转为证券销售人员,其中有些如今成了这方面的骨干。只要有智慧,只要肯努力,就可以在公司里通过努力获得成功。在日本,一个人的才能不会被局限于一个固定的领域。我们认为,对于员工的忠诚奉献,公司应予以回报。**************************************************

译文如下:在我还未成年时,如果有人看到我和父亲在一块儿,我就会觉得难堪。他腿瘸得很厉害,个子又矮。我们一起走路时,他的手搭在我臂上以保持平衡,人们就会盯着看。对于这种讨厌的注视,我打心眼里感到别扭。即使父亲注意到这些或感到不安,他也从不表露出来。
我们的步伐难以协调一致——他常常停下脚步,而我的步子却显得不耐烦。正因为如此,我们一路很少说话。但每次出门时,他总说:“你按你的步速走,我跟着你。”
我们通常就在地铁口和家门口之间来回,那是他上班的路线。他生病或天气恶劣时也坚持上班,几乎从不缺勤。他总是准点到办公室,即使别人做不到。这是件可以引以为荣的事。当路上覆盖冰雪时,即使有人搀扶,他也难以行走。这种时候,我或者我的姐妹们就用一辆带有钢轮的儿童推车拉着他穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道到地铁站口。一到那儿,他就紧抓着地铁口的扶手一直往下走,因为地铁内比较暖和,下面几级台阶没有冰雪。曼哈顿的地铁站直通他们办公楼的地下室,他不用出站(就可到办公室)。下班回家时,我们会去布鲁克林的地铁站口接他。现在回想起来,我不禁惊叹:像他那样一个成年人,得有多大的勇气才能承受这样的屈辱和压力,而当时他却显得毫无痛苦,也没怨言。
他从不说自己可怜,也从不表现出对那些比他幸运或健康的人的羡慕。他从别人那儿寻找的是一颗“好心”。一旦找到了,那人在他心目中就是个大好人。现在我长大了,我相信这是判断一个人的标准。虽然我还没有确切理解什么是“好心”,但我知道自己有时候并没有这么一颗“好心”。
虽说很多活动父亲都不能参加,但他还是试着以某种方式来参与。当地一个棒球队缺少一个经理时,是他使球队正常运转。他是一个见多识广的棒球迷,常常带我到埃贝茨球场,观看布鲁克林道奇队的比赛。他喜欢参加各种舞会和聚会,虽然在那儿他只能坐着观看,却也能享受一番乐趣。记得在一次沙滩聚会上,进行了一场殴斗,人人挥拳上阵,相互推撞。他不满足只是坐着观看,然而在松软的沙地上如果没人帮助,他又站不起来。于是在极度无助的情况下,他高声喊道:“谁坐下来和我对打! 谁愿意坐下来和我对打! ”没有人坐下来和他对打。第二天,人们和他开玩笑,说是第一次听到拳击手在开打之前,就有人要求他倒地服输。
如今我知道他是通过我,他唯一的儿子,间接地参与了一些事情。我打球时(球技很糟),他也“打”;后来我加入海军,他也“加入”了。我休假回家时,他一定要让我去参观他的办公室。在介绍我时,虽然没有说出口,但他实际上在说:“这是我儿子,但也是我。如果我没瘸,我也会和他一样。”
如今父亲已去世多年,但我时常想起他。不知他当时是否留意在我们同行时,我不愿意被人看到。若他确实注意到了,那我真惭愧当时没能对他说我是多么对不起他,我是多么不孝,我有多么后悔。现在,每当我因一些琐事而怨天尤人的时候,每当我嫉妒别人运气比我好的时候,每当我没有一颗“好心”的时候,我就会想起他。每逢此时,我就设想自己将手搭在他的臂上,重新找回自己的平衡,我会说:“你按你的步速走,我跟着你。”
原文如下:When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.
It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his halting, mine impatient — and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."Our usual walk was to or from the subway on which he traveled to work. He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make to the office even if others could not. A matter of pride.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child's wagon with steel runners to the subway entrance. Once there, he would cling to the hand-rail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept free of ice. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
When I think of it now, I am amazed at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such shame and stress. And at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't know precisely what a "good heart" is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.
Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team found itself without a manager, he kept it going. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play. He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching.On one occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving. He wasn't content to sit and watch, but he couldn't stand unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he began to shout, "I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me!"Nobody did. But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive before the fight began.
I now know he participated in some things through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he "played" too. When I joined the Navy, he "joined" too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, "This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different." Those words were never said aloud.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart."At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."
