心灵创可贴

    在芝加哥某广播电视台的脱口秀节目中,一个不知名的人通过电话和我们分享了下面这个故事。

     “嗨,妈妈,你在做什么?”苏茜问。

    “我在给邻居史密斯太太做一个焙(bèi用微火烘)盘。”她妈妈说。

    “为什么呢?”年仅6岁的苏茜问道。

    “因为史密斯太太很伤心,她失去了女儿,难过得心都碎了。我们应该照顾她一段时间。”

    “为什么呢,妈妈?”

    “你看,苏茜,当一个人非常非常伤心的时候,她甚至会在一些像做饭这样的小事上有麻烦。因为我们都是社区中的一员,而史密斯太太又是我们的邻居,所以我们应该做些事情帮助她。史密斯太太再也不能和她女儿聊天或者拥抱她,或者做一些妈妈和女儿一起做的愉快的事情。你是一个聪明的姑娘,苏茜,也许你会想出一个办法来帮助照顾史密斯太太。”

    苏茜很严肃地思考了这个问题:她怎么才能为照顾史密斯太太出一份力呢?几分钟之后,苏茜敲响了邻居家的门。过了一会儿,史密斯太太开门说:“嗨,苏茜。”

    苏茜注意到史密斯太太的语调不如从前她和人打招呼时那么委婉动听了。而且史密斯太太看上去好像一直在哭泣,因为她的眼睛很湿,还有些肿。“我能为你做些什么,苏茜?”史密斯太太问。

    “_______________________。”苏茜害羞地伸出了手,手中一片创可贴,“_____________________。”史密斯太太哽咽了,泪水有些止不住。她蹲下来抱住了苏茜,含泪说道:“谢谢你,亲爱的,这很管用。”

    史密斯太太接受了苏茜的善举,而且格外地珍惜。她买了一个带有普列克锡玻璃框的小钥匙环——既能挂钥匙又能骄傲地展示一张家里人照片的那种。史密斯太太把苏茜给的创可贴放进了镜框里,以便每次看到它时都能提醒自己要让心灵的伤口愈合一些。她很清醒地知道心灵的康复需要时间和支持。那片创可贴已经成为治疗她心灵创伤的一个象征,尽管她不会忘记曾和女儿一起分享的爱和欢乐。

    Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you're never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.

    Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.

    Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.

    When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset (思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or “too hard”.

    So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It's never too late to learn a new language. If you're older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you're a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!
