第八版 师之有道

The Real Strong Person真正强大的人

宁波华外双语609班 戴晶玲

        When at primary school, I read a story about responsibility, which left me deeply impressed. A boy of five named Hank went to a forest with his family. All of a sudden it began to rain cats and dogs. A high wind was torturing everything in its way, beading trees and blowing up grasses and flowers.
        Unluckily, they had only one raincoat. Hank's father gave it to his wife; Hank's mother gave it to his brother; his brother gave it to Hank. Feeling pleased but confused, Hank asked why. His father replied calmly, “I am stronger than your mother, she is stronger than your brother, and he is strong than you.” Hearing this, Hank ran away and blocked the heavy rain from hitting a young lamb. 
        A truly strong man is not necessarily more powerful or wealthy, but helpful to others, for responsibility can teach us to do something to make the world a better place to live in.

        小学时,我读了一篇关于责任的故事。一个叫汉克的五岁男孩和他的家人去了森林。突然下起了倾盆大雨,大风把树上的花草都吹成了串珠。不幸的是,他们只有一件雨衣。汉克的父亲把它给了他的妻子;汉克的母亲把它给了他的兄弟;他的兄弟把它给了汉克。汉克感到很高兴但很困惑,他父亲说:“我比你母亲强,她比你哥哥强,他也比你强。”汉克听到这句话,跑开了,为一只小羔羊挡住了大雨。一个真正强大的人不一定比他强大或富有,但对他人有帮助,因为责任可以教会我们做些事情,使世界更美好。
