LESSON 55 QUITE A MAN

第五十五課 真正的男人

"I think I shall soon be quite a man," said Tom to a girl whom he knew well, as she sat by the gate of her home.

我認(rèn)為我很快就會成為一個男人，湯姆向坐在他家門口的女孩說道

"Well," said she,"some boys think they are men, but they act as boys for all that. If you were a man, Tom, you would not throw plum stones at me. You would not tease my dog. You would not put your foot out to make me fall down. You would not laugh when you see rude boys do things which you know are wrong."

是的，小女孩回答，有的男孩子認(rèn)為自己是男人，但是他們表現(xiàn)卻像個男孩。湯姆，如果你是男人，你就不會向我扔紫色的石塊，不會嘲笑我得到小狗。你不會伸出你的腳讓我摔倒。你不會嘲笑那些無理的男孩做著一些你知道錯的事情。

"You may be a big boy, and you may be an old boy, but I shall not think you a man till you act as a man. No true man would do a mean thing. A true man is brave and just. He will do what is right, and fear not. Think of that, Tom."

也許你是個大男生，也許你是個老男生但我絕不認(rèn)為你是個男人，除非你表現(xiàn)的像個男人。真正的男人不會做吝嗇的事情。真正的男人勇敢剛正。他會做對每一件事，不會畏懼。想想這些吧，湯姆。

"Yes," said Tom, "I will. What you say is quite true. I must try to be a good boy, that I may grow up to be a good man."

是的，湯姆回答道，我會的。你說的很對。我要讓自己成為個好男孩，那樣我才能長成好的男人。
