Rowan 1 She was only about five feet tall and probably never weighed more than 110 pounds, but Miss Bessie was a towering presence in the classroom. She was the only woman tough enough to make me read Beowulf and think for a few foolish days that I liked it. From 1938 to 1942, when I attended Bernard High School in McMinnville, Tenn., she taught me English, history, civics—and a lot more than I realized. 难忘恩师贝西小姐 卡尔·T·罗旺 ??????她身高不过5英尺上下，体重可能从来不超过110磅，但贝西小姐在教室里形象极其高大。她是个厉害女人，只有她能逼得我去读《贝奥武甫》，而且有那么几天，我还真傻乎乎地觉得自己挺喜欢这首史诗。从1938年到1942年，我在田纳西州麦克敏维尔的伯纳德高中上学，她教我英语、历史、公民学，还有许多当时我未能领悟的东西。2 I shall never forget the day she scolded me into reading Beowulf. ??????我永远忘不了她训斥着要我读《贝奥武甫》的那一天。3 But Miss Bessie, I complained, I aint much interested in it. ??????可是，贝西小姐，我抱怨说，我对它不怎么感兴趣。4 Her large brown eyes became daggerish slits.

And if I go around saying it isnt and they arent, the guys are gonna laugh me off the squad. ??????贝西小姐，我恳求道，我正在努力争取当上橄榄球队的正式边锋。要是我老是说it isnt和they arent，那帮人会嘲笑我，把我撵出球队的。6 Boy, she responded, youll play football because you have guts. But do you know what really takes guts? Refusing to lower your standards to those of the crowd. It takes guts to say youve got to live and be somebody fifty years after all the football games are over. ??????小伙子，她回答说，你打橄榄球是因为你有勇气。可你是不是知道什么事情真正需要勇气？那就是决不把你的做人标准降低到和那帮子人一样。你要鼓起勇气对他们说，橄榄球比赛全部结束后你还想出人头地生活50年呢。7 I started saying it isnt and they arent, and I still made first-string end—and class valedictorian—without losing my buddies respect. ??????我开始说it isnt和they arent了，而且照样当上了正式边锋—— 还成为班级里致告别辞的毕业生代表—— 却一点也没有失去伙伴们的尊重。8 During her remarkable 44-year career, Mrs. Bessie Taylor Gwynn taught hundreds of economically deprived black youngsters—including
