第20节(2/3)

疑犹豫,拒绝改变,为上我不知道丢掉了多少美味的奶酪。我不知道其他人怎样,我恐怕已经在不知不觉中,把这种哼哼式的思想传给了我的孩子们。

" "As I think about it, I realize change really can lead you to a new and better place, although you're afraid it won't at the time. "当我反复思考这个问题和身边的一些人和事后,我在想或许变化真的以能把你带到一个崭新的、更好的地方,尽管当时你担心事情的变化将并非如此。

" "I remember a time when our son was a sophomore in high school. My husband's job required us to move from Illinois to Vermont and our son was upset because he had to leave his friends. He was a star swimmer and the high school in Vermont had no swim team. So, he was angry with us for making him move. "我记得有一段时间,在我儿子上中学二年级的时候。

因为我先去工作的需要,我们必须从伊利诺伊搬到佛蒙特去,儿子为此很难过,因为他不得不离开他的朋友们了。他是学校里的游泳明星,但在佛蒙特的高中里却没有游泳队。因此,他对我们即将面临的变化感到很生气。
