导语:最好的关系是与自己的关系。接纳自己,做真实的自
己。
As a little boy,there was nothing I liked
better than Sunday afternoons at my
grandfather’s farm in western
Pennsylvania.Surrounded by miles of winding1 stone walls,
the house and barn provided endless hours of fun for a city
kid like me.I was used to parlors(客厅) neat as a pin that
seemed to whisper,“Not to be touched!”
I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years
old.Since my first visit to the farm,I’d wanted more than
anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding
the farm.My parents would never approve.The walls were
old;some stones were missing,others loose and crumbling.
Still,my yearning2 to scramble across those walls grew so
strong.One spring afternoon,I collected all my courage and
entered the living room,where the adults had gathered after
dinner.
“I,uh,I want to climb the stone walls,”I said hesitantly.
Everyone looked up.“Can I climb the stone walls?”Instantly
a chorus3 went up from the women in the room.“Heavens,
no!”they cried in dismay.“You’ll hurt yourself!”I wasn’t
too disappointed;the response was just as I’d expected.But
before I could leave the room,I was stopped by my
grandfather’s booming voice.“Hold on just a minute,”I
heard him say,“Let the boy climb the stone walls.He has to
learn to do things for himself.”
“Scoot(快走)”,he said to me with a wink,“and come and see
me when you get back.”For the next two and a half hours I
climbed those old walls and had the time of my life.Later I
met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure.
I’ll never forget what he said.“Fred,” he said,grinning,“you
made this day a special day just by being yourself.Always
remember,there’s only one person in this whole world like
you,and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then,and today I host the
television programme Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,seen by
millions of children throughout America.There have been
changes over the years,but one thing remains the same:my
message to children at the end of almost every visit,
“There’s only one person in this whole world like you,and
people can like you exactly as you are.”
译文:
我还是个小男孩的时候,最喜欢在爷爷的农场里度过每个星
期天的下午。爷爷的农场在宾夕法尼亚州西部。农场四周围
着绵延几英里的石墙。房子和谷仓给像我这样的城市孩子带
来了无穷的快乐时光。我习惯了城里十分整洁的客厅,它似
乎在低声说:“不要摸!”
我仍能记得我8岁那年一天下午的情景。因为我第一次去
农场,所以我很想爬上农场四周的那些石墙。可我的父母是
绝不会同意的。那些墙年深日久,有的石头不见了,有的石头
松动倒塌了。然而,我渴望爬过那些墙的欲望变得非常强烈。
一个春天的下午,我鼓足勇气,走进客厅,大人们晚饭后都聚在
这里。
“我,呃,我想爬上那些石墙,”我犹豫地说道。大家都抬起头。
“我能爬上那些石墙吗?”屋里的女人们马上齐声叫了起来。
“天哪,不能!”她们惊愕地喊道,“你会伤着自己的!”我并没有
太失望,我早就预料会是这样的回答。但还没等我离开客厅,
爷爷低沉有力的声音拦住了我。“等一会儿,”我听到他说,“让
这小子爬那些石墙吧。他必须学会自己做一些事情。”
“快走吧,”他对我眨眨眼说。“你回来后找我。”接下来的两
个半小时,我爬上了那些古老的石墙,度过了非常快乐的时光。
后来,我见到爷爷并把自己的冒险经历告诉了他。我永远也
不会忘记他说过的话。“弗雷德,”他咧着嘴笑道,“你做了一回
自己,你让这个日子因此而变得不同凡响。永远记住,整个世
界只有一个你,而且我喜欢真实的你。”
许多年过去了,现在我主持的电视节目《罗杰斯先生的街坊
四邻》,全美国几百万儿童都会收看。这些年来,节目发生了
一些变化,但有一点没变:几乎每期节目后我都会传递给孩子
这样一个信息,“这个世界上只有一个你,人们都喜欢真实的
你。”
