高考英語閱讀理解特訓：善待自己
Be Kind to Yourself!
善待自己！
“Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold medal!”
“琳達,如果自責是個奧運項目,你會贏得金牌!”
Annabel, my close friend, stunned me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting. “I should never have let him go to the boy’s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I’m so stupid!”
安娜貝利，我的好朋友，在我告訴她我當代班時如何失誤的處理一個三年級學生的事情后，她的評論令我十分驚訝。“我不應該讓他在沒有我的允許下那男孩的房間！都是我的錯，他才會和糾察隊發生沖突！我真蠢！”
My friend burst out laughing, and then made her “Olympic” comment. After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob” for having some papers spread out on my desk, “ugly” when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot” when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.
我的朋友聽完后大笑起來，之后有了她“奧利匹克”的評論。在短暫的反省之后我不得不承認她是對的。我徹底放下了許多自責。為什么這么說，就在幾天前因為桌上散落的文件我會稱呼自己為“懶漢”，出門不化妝的時候覺得自己“丑陋”，還有離開家去做緊急替補工作忘記帶緊急備課計劃叫自己“笨蛋”。
In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.”
帶著深思的語調，安娜貝利說，“我曾經在教堂參加過一次研討會，那個主事的女人讓我們羅列出所有曾經對自己說過的最卑鄙的話。”
“How many did you have on your list?” I asked.
“你的單子上列出了多少？”
“Fifteen,” she confessed. “But then the teacher said, ‘Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!’ ”
“15條。”她坦白說道。“但是接下來那個老師說，‘現在轉向你身邊的人說出所有你的單子上的那些話，就好像你要對那個人說的一樣。’”
My jaw dropped. “What did you do?”
我的下巴差點掉下來。“你后來怎么做？”
“Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, ‘I could never say these things to anyone else!’ ”
“什么都沒做。沒有人做這件事。我們都僅僅只是坐在那里。直到我說，‘我不可能向別人說出這些話的！’”
“And our teacher replied, ‘Well, if you can’t say them to anyone else, then don’t ever say them to yourself!’ ”
“然后老師回答，‘是的，如果你不能對別人說出那些話，那么也不要再對自己說！’”
My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I’m God’s child, too!
我朋友贊同這個觀點。我不應該侮辱上帝的孩子----而且我也是上帝的一個孩子！
God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children.
上帝，請讓我像對待其它的上帝之子一樣對自己友好。
