The measure of a man’s character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
。璗homas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. 1 Mrs.Nanette O’Neill gave a math test to our class.When the papers were marked she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about cheating in exams. 2 that was why Mrs.O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it.She only asked the twelve boys to stay after class.I was one of the twelve.
Mrs.O’Neill asked no questions, 3 she didn’t scold us either. 4 , she wrote on the blackboard the above words by Thomas Macaulay.She 5 ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. 6 I can say:it was the most important lesson of my life.Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they 7 seem to me the best yardstick(準繩)now, 8 they give us a way to measure ourselves rather than others.
Few of us are asked to make great decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. 9 all of us are called upon(要求)daily to make a great many personal decisions.Should the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the extra change received at the store be forgotten or returned? Nobody will know except you. 10 you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
1.One day 開始敘述故事的常用語。 2.Perhaps 作者對老師的舉動,即為什么沒有責備我們作弊的原因并不清楚,只是猜測。 3.and 兩個并列分句,又是順接關系,用and連接。 4.Instead 沒有問話,也沒有責備,這些常規(guī)的舉動都沒有,而是在黑板上寫了一段話。 5.then 寫完了那段話,然后讓我們抄下來。 6.Speaking for myself “就我自己而言”。對于別的和我一起留下并抄了這段話的同學,我不清楚他們是否受到了啟發(fā),就我自己而言,我很受震動。 7.still 過去了很多年,這段話對我仍起作用。 8.because 解釋我始終牢記這段話的原因。 9.But 很少人有機會去作關乎國計民生的大決定,但是每天每個人都在作著成千上萬的小決定。 10.But 這些情形下,你是否誠實只有你自己知道,好像可以隱瞞,但是你的良心和你在一起,它清楚你是否是個值得尊敬的人。即全文的中心,要對得起自己的良心,要“慎獨”。 |
