我主持我的節(jié)目將盡25年了。確切地說還不到25年,但感覺像是過了125年似的。這些年來,我從工作中學到了許多東西;不管是跟兇手談話也好,給嘉賓做大變身也好,對肉腐性疾病做調(diào)查也好,都豐富了我的人生,因為我每天都在借鑒別人的生活經(jīng)驗來使自己成長。事實上,有了這檔節(jié)目我從不需要別的治療。或者,也許我需要接受治療,但是我從沒有去過。因為我從自己主持的節(jié)目中接觸的人群中學到了許多。對我來說,在將盡25年后,每天去工作發(fā)現(xiàn)自己仍然在學習,這簡直就是個奇跡。
I just finished taping a show this week with so many powerful lessons that I wanted to weep,but I want to share some of those lessons with you today. As a matter of fact, there were so many lessons in the show that I taped just last week, that's going to air next week, you'll see it, I did weep. It was about some tough guys in prison for murder, for manslaughter , armed robbery, guys full of anger and violence. And they're involved in this program where dogs,little puppies, are taken from shelters and the eight-week-old puppies are given to the prisoners,eight-week-old puppies that would have otherwise been euthanized. The puppies live right in the prison cells with the prisoners 24 hours a day. And I forgot to ask them...how they housebreak them, because it's not like you can say,"I need to take the dog out."
我這個星期剛剛錄制完的一期節(jié)目讓我學到了很多教訓,讓我想流淚,今天我想跟你們分享一些。實際上,那期節(jié)目真的可以讓我們學到很多,這將會在下周播放,你們也都會看到,我真的哭了。節(jié)目是關于罪犯的,他們有的因為謀殺罪,有的因為過失殺人罪,有的因為持槍械搶劫罪被關進監(jiān)獄。這群人滿懷憤怒,極具暴力傾向。這群罪犯參與了一項計劃,那就是馴養(yǎng)剛從避難所里抱出來的兩個月大的小狗崽。如果不由他們來馴養(yǎng),這些小狗就會被處以安樂死。就這樣,小狗崽一天24小時都跟犯人們生活在監(jiān)獄里。我忘了問,他們怎樣馴養(yǎng)這些小狗崽呢?因為它們不能像常人那樣說一句“我需要把狗帶出去”就可以去遛狗。
