名校勵志英語演講 第58期:拯救世界 拯救兒童

[00:01.18]Our goal is simple—to recreate the parent-child bond, 我們的目標很簡單——重建父母與子女之間的融洽關(guān)系， [00:08.00]renew its promise and light the way forward for all the beautiful children who are destined one day to walk this earth. 重新許下承諾，為終究會在這個世界上留下腳印的孩子們照亮前行的路。 [00:17.13]But since this is my first public lecture, and you have so warmly welcomed me into your hearts, I feel that I want to tell you more. 因為這是我第一次公開演講，而你們又從心底里如此熱情地歡迎我，我覺得應(yīng)該告訴你們更多。 [00:25.35]We each have our own story, and in that sense statistics can become personal. 我們每個人都有自己的故事，從那個意義上來說，統(tǒng)計資料就屬于私人信息了。 [00:35.33]They say that parenting is like dancing. You take one step, your child takes another. 有人說撫養(yǎng)孩子就像跳舞。你走一步，你的孩子跟一步。 [00:40.52]I have discovered that getting parents to re-dedicate themselves to their children is only half the story. 我發(fā)現(xiàn)讓父母全心全意養(yǎng)育孩子只是故事的一半， [00:47.27]The other half is preparing the children to re-accept their parents. 另一半是父母還需要讓孩子重新接受他們。 [00:52.27]When I was very young I remember that we had this crazy mutt of a dog named "Black Girl," a mix of wolf and retriever. 我記得在我小的時候，我們養(yǎng)了一條名叫“黑妞”的又瘋又笨的狗，這種狗是狼和獵狗的雜交品種。 [01:03.38]Not only wasn't she much of a guard dog, she was such a scared and nervous thing 她不僅不能看家，而且很膽小且有點神經(jīng)質(zhì)， [01:08.35]that it is a wonder she did not pass out every time a truck rumbled by, or a thunderstorm swept through Indiana. 甚至對卡車的聲音和印第安納的雷雨也恐懼不已。 [01:17.00]My sister Janet and I gave that dog so much love, 我和妹妹珍妮特對她非常憐愛， [01:20.23]but we never really won back the sense of trust that had been stolen from her by her previous owner. 但是我們從來沒真正贏得過她的信任，這種信任感已經(jīng)被她的前主人剝奪了。 [01:27.22]We knew he used to beat her. We didn't know with what. 我們知道她以前的主人總是打她。雖然不知道用什么方式虐待她， [01:31.56]But whatever it was, it was enough to suck the spirit right out of that dog. 但不管怎樣，那足以讓這條狗精神崩潰。
