LESSON 62 A good example

第六十二課 一個好榜樣

A poor boy once went to a ragged school, where his face was well washed.

一個貧窮的男孩在貧民兒童免費學校上學，在學校的時候把臉洗得很干凈。

When he returned home, the neighbours looked at him with astonishment.

放學回到家后，鄰居們難以置信地看著他說，

They said, "That looks like Tom Rogers, and yet it can' be, for he is so clean."

“你看起來像湯姆羅杰斯，但是跟他還差一點，因為他比你更干凈。”

Presently his mother looked at him, and seeing that his face was so clean,

過了一會兒，他母親看到他那么干凈的臉時，

she fancied that her own face was dirty, and forthwith she washed it.

意識到她自己的臉卻臟兮兮的，便立刻轉身洗臉去了。

The father soon came home from his work, and, seeing his wife and his son so clean,

過了不久父親下班回家，當看到他的妻子和他的兒子梳洗地這么干凈，

he thought that his face was dirty, and so he followed their example.

也同樣意識到自己該以他們?yōu)榘駱印?/p>

Father, mother, and son being clean, the mother began to think that the room looked dirty;

父親，母親，兒子都變得干干凈凈了，母親開始覺得屋子也該收拾一下了；

so she went down on her knees and scrubbed the floor clean.

因此她跪下來開始擦洗地板。

A woman lived next door. Seeing so great a change in her neighbours,

住在隔壁女人看到自己的鄰居家里發(fā)生了這么大變化，

she thought that her face and her room were very dirty; so she, too, speedily set about cleaning them.

她也開始覺得自己的臉，自己的房間相比之下是如此不堪；所以她也開始飛速的收拾并清洗起來。

This story shows how two houses and their occupants were made tidy and comfortable,

這個故事告訴我們相鄰的兩家住戶是如何互相影響著來保持整潔舒適的家庭環(huán)境的，

simply by the example of the clean face of one ragged school boy.

起因只是一位在貧民學校上學的小男孩。

Children, as well as grown-up people, should always set a good example.

不單單是兒童，成年人也應該樹立一個好榜樣。

We never know how much good may be done in that way; nor can we tell how much harm results from a bad example.

我們永遠意想不到自己文明的舉動會給他人造成多大的影響，同樣我們也不知道樹立壞的榜樣所帶來的危害。
