英语翻译（第一章）1 Our youngest,a world-class charmer ,did little to develop his intellectual talents but always got by, until Mrs.Stifter我们的小儿子，是一个世界级的万人迷，在学习上不动脑筋，但总能蒙混过去，直道施蒂夫特夫人当了他的老师，这种局面才有所改观2 No one seems to stop to think that –no matter what environments they come from ---most kids don’t put school first on the list unless they perceive something is at stake似乎没有人会停下来想想看，无论孩子来自何种环境，他们中的大多数若不是发现情况到了危机关头，才不会把功课当成头等大事。

3 Of average intelligence or above ,they eventually quit school ,concluding they were too dumb to finish这些学生智力水平至少也算中等，但最终都退学了，他们总结说自己太笨，学不下去了4 Young people generally don’t have the maturity to value education in the same way my adult students value it年轻人往往不够成熟，不会像我的成人学生们那样重视教育5It is an expression of confidence by both teachers and parents that the students have the ability to learn the material presented to them这表明老师和家长们都对学生有信心，相信他们能够学好发给他们的学习资料6 This means no more doing Scott’s assignments for him because he might fail ,no more passing Jodi because she’s such a nice kid这意味着再也不要因为担心斯科特会不及格而替他做作业，再也不要因为朱迪是个乖孩子而放他过关英语翻译（第二章）1、I had always dreamed of being proposed to in a Parisian café, under dazzling stars, like the one in a Van Gogh knockoff that hangs in my studio apartment. Instead, my boyfriend asked me to marry him while I was Windexing the bathroom mirror.我一直有这样一个梦想：在一个星光灿烂的晚上，在一家咖啡馆里，就像梵高所画的“夜晚的咖啡馆”—我的工作室里就挂着这样一幅画的翻印本。

然而我男朋友却在我用“稳得新”擦卫生间镜子时让我嫁给他。

2、But the more time and effort I put in, the more the universe tried to thwart me. The Great bank from Los Angeles that I wante d wasn’t available. The stitching I had requested for my cathedral veil was all wrong. My ivory skill was being quarantined somewhere in Singapore.但是我投入的时间和精力越多，万事就越和我过不去，没有请到我想要的来自洛杉矶的希腊乐队，我到教堂时所带面纱的针线活也很糟，不是我原来要求的。

我的象牙色的丝绸礼服也被隔离在新加坡某个地方了。

3、I realized that a Big Day without my mother would be no day at all. Not having my dad , who passed away three years before, to walk me down the aisle was painful, but the thought of not having Mom there was unbearable. 我意识到没有母亲的大喜日子是不可思议的。

父亲已经在三年前去世了，不可能牵着我的手到教堂完婚，这已经让我很凄苦，但一想到那天母亲也不能在教堂就让我无法忍受。

4、Our baby sister, who’d been looking after Mom since Dad’s death, was gripped by fear as the familiar sights and smells were eerily reminiscent of his final days. After consulting with doctors, we learned that stomach surgery was Mom’s only option. we took the fist opening.我们小妹自父亲死后就一直照护着母亲，这类似的情况让她想起了父亲临终时的日子，使她内心被恐惧占据。

在咨询医生后，我们得知做胃部手术是母亲唯一的选择。

医院有一个床位我们就住进去了。

5、What’s more, caring for my Mom made me realize how consummately she had cared for all of us. I’ll never forget when I went to see her in the intensive-care unit, just a few hours after her surgery. She was stung out with a myriad of plastic tubes protruding from her arms, nose, and mouth. “Liz, make sure you eat something,” she said in a strained, raspy voice.而且，照护母亲使我意识到她当年照护我们几个是多么尽心尽力。

我永远忘不了在母亲做完手术后的几个小时我到特殊病房看她，她躺在那里，手臂、鼻孔和嘴里都插满了那么多的塑料导管，她却吃力，沙哑地说道：“莉兹，你一定要吃点东西”。

6、I’ve forgotten what kind of stitching is in my veil. But when I remove it from it from my face, I’ll be staring at the two people I love beyond all reaso n: my soon-to-be husband and the woman who showed me what’s really important.我已经忘记了面纱上的刺绣。

但当我掀开面纱的时候，我肯定会默默地注视着那两个我最爱的人:我的未婚夫和让我懂得人生要义的那个女人—我的母亲。
