美文:贊揚(yáng)的益處
It was the end of my exhausting first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone awry, my apron was stained, my feet ached. The loaded trays I carried felt heavier and heavier. Weary and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything right. As I made out a complicated check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to quit.
我在紐約一家繁忙餐館做女招待的第一天就要結(jié)束了,我感到精疲力荊我的帽子歪了,圍裙上污跡斑斑,兩腳疼痛難忍。盛著食物的托盤讓我感覺(jué)越來(lái)越沉重。我又疲倦又沮喪,似乎什么事情都沒(méi)能干好。有一個(gè)帶著好幾個(gè)小孩的人家,他們?cè)谝ち钑r(shí)換來(lái)?yè)Q去多達(dá)十幾次,就在我為他們開(kāi)好復(fù)雜和賬單時(shí),我準(zhǔn)備辭職不干了。
Then the father smiled at me as he handed me tip. "Well done," he said. "You’ve looked after us really well."
這時(shí),那位當(dāng)父親一邊把小費(fèi)遞給我,一邊對(duì)我微笑。“干得不錯(cuò),”他說(shuō),“你對(duì)我們照顧得真周到。”
Suddenly my tiredness vanished. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d liked my first day, I said, "Fine!" Those few words of praise had changed everything.
頓時(shí),我的倦意消失了。我對(duì)他也報(bào)以微笑。后來(lái),經(jīng)理問(wèn)我第一天上班的感覺(jué)時(shí),我說(shuō):“好極了!”那不多的幾個(gè)贊美之辭改變了一切。
