在我們身邊,不時會有孩子被大人無情地貼上“問題兒童”“叛逆少年”的標簽,承受著各種被否定,被嫌棄。但試問哪個孩子天生就叛逆呢?只要為他們焦躁的心灌溉足夠的愛與鼓勵,就算再難對付的孩子也會有“改邪歸正”的一天!而且,說不定他們還會帶來無限驚喜呢!
I’ve worked in a hospital as a1)consultantfor 15 years. I told peoplehow to raisetheir children and how todeal withdifficult kids.
Recently, I met a man. I’d worked with him many years ago when he was a kid. He’d been a difficult boy at that time, and he always got upset and angry at life.
One time, I drew him a picture of Superman.I wrote him a message too. I told him stories about how superheroes never give up and always win in the end.
Time flies. That little boy is now a fireman,and hesavespeople’s lives.
We talked for about half an hour. And before wesaid goodbye toeach other, he opened his wallet and showed me the picture of Superman. He had kept that picture all this time!

參考譯文
我在一家醫(yī)院做了15年的顧問醫(yī)生,指導(dǎo)人們育兒技巧以及如何應(yīng)對“問題兒童”。
最近,我遇到一個男人。多年前,他還是個小孩,我曾輔導(dǎo)過他。那時,他是個很難對付的男孩,總是對生活感到沮喪和憤怒。
有一次,我給他畫了一幅超人的圖畫,并且隨附寫了一段話。我跟他講有關(guān)超級英雄如何永不言棄,最后總是取得勝利的故事。
時光飛逝。那個小男孩如今已是一名救死扶傷的消防員。
我們聊了大約半個小時。在道別前,他打開錢包,給我看那幅超人畫像。這些年,他一直珍藏著那幅畫!
