關(guān)于尊重的英語美文篇1

認(rèn)真看待自己，才會得到他人的尊重

Istandontheedgeofthedancefloorwatchingcouplesglide,

spin,andgrooveastheydancetheWestCoastSwing.Thetempoofthe

musicisfast,butthebeatingofmyheartisfaster.Iwantto

dance,butVinafraidFinnotgoodenough.

我站在舞池邊，看著人們一對一對地在跳西海岸搖擺舞，他們滑動舞步、

旋轉(zhuǎn)著、享受著。音樂節(jié)奏很快，但我的心跳更快。我想跳舞，又擔(dān)心跳得不

好。

Thesongends,andasanotherbegins,awhite-hairedgentleman

witharakishsmileoffersmehishandandpullsmeontothefloor,

wavingawaymyproteststhatI'monlyabeginner.

一首樂曲結(jié)束，另一首開始了，一位淺色頭發(fā)的紳士面帶微笑向我伸出

手、把我拉進(jìn)舞池，我作為初學(xué)者的恐懼一掃而光了。

Okay.Ifhecandothis,socanI.

好吧，如果他能跳，那我也能跳。

Imanagetofindarespectablegroove,butwheneverhetriesto

leadmeinanythingotherthanthebasicsteps,Istumble.AllIcan

doissmilealotandapologizeevenmore.

我終于覺著自己跳得不錯了，但他帶著我跳基本舞步之外的動作時，我就

會絆到。我所能做的就是多微笑，但更多的還是道歉。

Afterrvemumbledsorryforthetenthtime,helaughsandsays,

〃It'sokay.You'reblonde.〃

我第十次喃喃地道歉之后，他笑著說：“沒關(guān)系，你的金發(fā)很漂亮?！?/p>

Huh?It'sdeliveredlikeacompliment,andIdecidetotakeitas

aftertheshoeshavecomeoffandI'minmyownquietroom,hiswords

keepdancingthroughmyhead.Theystartwearingadifferentkindof

groove,leadingtoquestionslike:

嗯?聽起來像恭維我，我決定就當(dāng)成是恭維吧。如果我不能跳得很優(yōu)雅，至

少可以彬彬有禮。但后來我脫掉鞋安靜地坐在自己屋里時，他的話一直縈繞在

我的腦海。我開始覺著那些話有些言外之意，使我想到了幾個問題：

DoIactblonde?Ifyoubelievethestereotype,blondesare

assumedtobehelpless,shallow,unambitiousornaive.NowIknow

thesetraitshavenothingtodowithhaircolor.Still,somethingin

thisideastrikesanerve.

我表現(xiàn)得像金發(fā)美女嗎?如果你相信老一套的說法，就知道金發(fā)美女被認(rèn)為

無助、膚淺、要求不高或者幼稚，現(xiàn)在我知道了這些特點都和頭發(fā)顏色沒關(guān)

系。但總會有些東西說到你心里。

WhydoTapolog;ZPsomuch?InwhatwaysdoTminimizemyselfand

myefforts?

為什么我要說那么多道歉的話?我是怎么把自己和自己的努力說得什么都不

是的？

HowseriouslydoItakemyself?

我有很認(rèn)真地看待自己嗎？

duller,andmoreaveragewithdarkerhair.Ialsofeelmore

thoughtful,morediscerning,moreearnest.InthewordsofOscar

Wilde,“Lifeistooimportanttobetakenseriously.，z

為了找到答案，我立刻把頭發(fā)染成棕色，開始搜集答案。我發(fā)現(xiàn)深色頭發(fā)

使我感覺自己更平凡、沉悶、普通。我也感覺自己更睿智、更有眼兒、也更真

誠了。正如奧斯卡?王爾德所說：“生活太重要，不容你不認(rèn)真對待?！?/p>

IsuspectthatwhatIwantisnottobetakenseriously,butto

feelimportant.Iforgetaboutmyhaircolorandfocusinsteadonthe

waysTmatter.And二definewhichthingsmattermosttome.

我想我真正想要的不是讓別人拿我當(dāng)回事，而是要自己感覺自己重要。我

不去想頭發(fā)的顏色，而是關(guān)注自己的重要性。我認(rèn)定了什么對我來說才是最重

要的。

Asaresultofnyburgeoningself-importance,Iambetterableto

recognizethosearoundmewhosincerelysupportme.

由于感覺自己很重要的信念迅速增長，我能更好地判斷出身邊誰是真心支

持我的。

Basedonmy(admittedlyunscientific)findings,here,showyou

important:

根據(jù)我的發(fā)現(xiàn)(當(dāng)然不具有科學(xué)性)，通過以下幾點你也能確定生活中誰覺

得你很重要：

Theylistenwhenyoutaik.

你說話時他們會傾聽。

Theydon*tlaughwhenyoutellthemawildidea.

你說出一個瘋狂的想法時他們不會嘲笑你。

Theyseekyououtforadvice.

他們向你征求意見。

他們把你介紹給別人時會強(qiáng)調(diào)你是做什么的或提到你的熱情所在。

Theyunderstandthatwe'realllearning,sotheypatiently

encourageyoutobeginagain,andagain,andagain.

他們明白我們都在學(xué)習(xí)階段，所以會耐心地鼓勵你一遍一遍地重新開始。

Theydon，Imindwhenyouocuasiunallysteponllieirloet>.

你偶爾踩到他們腳時他們不會介意。

Theyloveyounomatterwhatyoulooklike.

無論你什么樣他們都喜歡你。

Backonthedancefloor,thesamemangrabsmeagain.Three

再去跳舞時，還是那個男人邀請我。三個月過去了，我已經(jīng)有所提高了。

我終于知道怎么跳了，也能控制自己的步伐了。

〃0kay,nowyou'vegottoworkit,〃hesays."Givemesome

他說：“很好，現(xiàn)在你可得努力了。讓我看到你的態(tài)度?！?/p>

Ismile,notmissingabeat.He'sright.Thisisseriouslyfun.

我笑了笑，沒有跳錯一個拍子。他說得對，跳舞真的很有趣。

在艾米繞過她的教室對面的走廊的拐角時，她迎面撞到了一個5年級的高

個男孩。

帶著帶厭的笑容，用手按在他的右腿上，模仿著芝米走路跛行的樣子「

艾米將雙眼閉上了一會。

但是在那天結(jié)束時，艾米仍然想著那個高個男孩低劣的嘲笑。其實他不是

唯一的一個做出這種事的人。好像自從艾米上三年級后，每天都有人在嘲笑

他。孩子嘲笑她的講話或是她的跛行。艾米受夠了。有時，即使在坐滿了學(xué)生

的教室里，別人的嘲笑使她感到孤單無助。

那晚，回到家里，艾米坐在餐桌旁邊默不做聲。她的母親知道肯定是在學(xué)

校里遇到不順心的事了。所以，派蒂決定告訴她女兒一些激動的消息。
