異類之不一樣的成功啟示錄 第184期:瑪麗塔的生活(上)

"I wake up at 5:45 a.m. to get a head start," she says. "I brush my teeth, shower. I get some breakfast at school if I'm running late.

“為了早到學校，我早上5點45分起床，”她說。“接著刷牙、洗澡。如果我起晚了，我會在學校吃早餐。

Usually get yelled at because I'm taking too long. I meet my friends Diana and Steven at the bus stop, and we get the number one bus."

如果我花費時間太多，我的母親就會對我嚷嚷個沒完。然后，我在公共汽車站和朋友黛安娜、史蒂芬匯合，一起搭乘1路公共汽車上學。”

A 5:45 wake up is fairly typical of KIPP students, especially given the long bus and subway commutes that many have to get to school.

早上5點45分起床對KIPP學生來說是相當普遍的，尤其是那些需要搭乘公共汽車和地鐵去上學的人。

Levin, at one point, went into a seventh grade music class with 70 kids in it and asked for a show of hands on when the students woke up.

李文曾走進七年級的一個班級調(diào)查，這個班有70個學生，正在上音樂課。他用學生舉手的方式來統(tǒng)計起床時間，

A handful said they woke up after six. Three quarters said they woke up before six, and almost half said they woke up before 5:30.

只有很少的一部分學生承認他們6點后醒來，其余四分之三的學生都說自己在6點前醒來，而幾乎一半的學生都表示自己在5點30分前醒來。

One classmate of Marita's, a boy named Jose, said he sometimes wakes up at three or four a.m., finished his homework from the night before, and then "goes back to sleep for a bit."

何塞是瑪麗塔的男同學，他說為了完成前一晚上的家庭作業(yè)，有時三、四點就已經(jīng)醒來，作業(yè)完成之后才“可以回去小睡一會兒。”

Marita went on: I leave school at 5p.m., and if I don't lollygag around, then I'll be home around five thirty. Then I say hi to my mom really quickly to start my homework.

瑪麗塔繼續(xù)說道：“我會在下午5點離開學校，如果不浪費時間的話，我會在5：30到家。我迅速和媽媽打個招呼后，就開始做功課。

And if it's not a lot of homework that day, it will take me two to three hours and I'll be done around nine p.m. Or if we have essays, then I'll be done like at ten or ten thirty.

如果作業(yè)不太多，我大約會用2到3個小時完成，一直到晚上9點。而如果還要寫作文的話，我就可能要到10點或者10點30分才能完成。

Sometimes my mom makes me break for dinner. I tell her I want to go straight through, but she says I have to eat.

有時候，我媽媽會讓我休息吃完晚飯之后再做作業(yè)。我說先不吃，但她要求我必須吃。

So around eight, she makes me break for dinner for, like, a half hour, and then I get back to work.

此時已經(jīng)晚上8點鐘了，我們用半個小時吃完晚飯之后，我就回去繼續(xù)學習。

Then, usually after that, my mom wants to hear about school, but I have to make it quick because I have to get in bed by eleven. So I get all my stuff ready and then I get into bed.

我媽媽總希望聽我講一些在學校的事情， 所以我只能快速地講完，否則我就不能在11點之前上床睡覺。我準備好第二天上課的東西之后上床。

I tell her about the day and what happened, and by the time we are finished, she is on the brink of sleeping so that's probably around eleven-fifteen.

告訴她這一天所有發(fā)生的事情。說完這些，大概也到11點15分了，她也就很困了。

Then I go to sleep, and the next morning, we do all over again.

然后，我們睡覺，第二天早晨，我們重復前一天的事情。

We are in the same room. But it's a huge bedroom and you can split it into two. We have beds on other side. Me and my mom are very close.

我和媽媽住在同一間臥室里面，房間很大，足以放下兩張床。我和媽媽離得很近。”
