原文展示及译文:
Jeff and I had many conversations during the year, but I will always remember the time he told me about his family. His father, a successful physician, was cold and strict in Jeffs words. His father had even paved the way for Jeff to attend the same college from which he had graduated.
那年杰夫我俩有过多次谈话,但我始终记得那次,他跟我谈起他的家庭。他的母亲是一位慈爱、富有同情心的女人,是她把整个家庭凝聚在一起。杰夫刚刚高中毕业,她就去世了。他的父亲是一位成功的医生,按杰夫的话说,是个“冷酷、严厉”的人,坚信人只有上大学、并在23岁那年毕业,才能为社会做出重大贡献。他的父亲甚至为杰夫能够进入自己所毕业的大学铺平了道路,并提出为杰夫支付全部学费和生活费。作为一名活跃的校友会成员,他为儿子有一天能够追随自己的足迹而感到兴奋。
Jeff was twenty-seven and a successful business planner at a company--without a degree. His passion was skiing. When he graduated from high school, he decided to decline his father's offer and, instead. to work with a ski patrol (滑雪巡逻队). With pain in his eyes, Jeff told me he still remembered the day when he told his father he was going to give up college and take a job at a ski resort.
杰夫二十七岁了,他是一位成功的商业规划师,在一家500强企业工作---他没有什么学位。杰夫热衷于滑雪,高中毕业后,他决定谢绝父亲的好意,去科罗拉多一个滑雪巡逻队工作。他痛苦的眼神告诉我,他仍记得那天,他告诉父亲要放弃上大学,去一个滑雪胜地工作。
Hearing Jeff's decision, his father looked off into the distance. Then came the words that still echoed in Jeff's mind: “You lazy kid. No son of mine is going to work with a ski patrol and does not attend college I should have known you'd never amount to anything!” The two had not spoken since that conversation.
他清楚地记得那次谈话的每个字。他跟父亲讲了自己对滑雪的热爱、对大山的热爱和自己的规划。父亲看着远方,他的脸红了。然后,杰夫听到了至今仍回响在耳边的那句话:“你这个懒家伙!我的儿子绝不会去做滑雪巡逻队员,绝不会不上大学。我早就应该知道,你不会有什么出息的!不要再回到这个家,除非你有足够的自尊心,把上帝给你的脑袋瓜用于学业!”从此两人再也没有说过话。
Later, he was back in the area near where he grew up and he certainly did not want his father to know he was attending college. He was doing this for himself, not for his father. He said it over and over again. Jeff's sister had always remained supportive of Jeffs decisions. She stayed in contact with their father, but Jeff had made her promise that she would not share any information about his life with him.
杰夫甚至不能确定,
