Diversified roles, yes; but they are well knit by two major forces: an attempt to discover, understand, and accept other human beings; and a belief in my responsibility toward others. The first began in my childhood when my father and I acted out Shakespeare. 　　我在生活中有着四重身份——既为人妻，又为人母;既有自己的事业，又是社会的一分子。是的，角色不同，但配合得很好，因为它们都受两种主要力量的支配：一是努力观察、理解和接受他人，二是对他人尽职尽责。第一种努力早在孩童时代我和父亲一起“出演”莎剧时就开始了。 　　He refused to let me merely parrot Hamlet’s brooding soliloquy, Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking scene, or Cardinal Woolsey’s self-analysis. He made a fascinating game of helping me understand the motivations behind the poetic words. 　　无论是哈姆雷特深沉的独白、麦克白夫人的梦呓，还是伍思里主教的自我剖析，父亲都不让我机械地背诵，而是通过有趣的游戏帮我揣摩诗句中隐含的角色内心活动。 　　In college, a professor further sparked this passionate curiosity about the essence of others and, by his example, transmuted it into a deep concern, a sense of responsibility that sprang not from stern Calvinistic principles, but from an awareness of all I received—and must repay with gladness. 　　在大学时代，一位教授的言传身教进一步引发了我理解他人本质的热忱与好奇，从他身上，我学到了如何将这种热忱与好奇转化为对他人深切的关爱、对他人应负的责任。这种责任心绝非源自卡尔文教派严格的教义，而是源自对我所获得一切的欣然回报。 　　I believe this acceptance, this tenderness one has for others, is impossible without an acceptance of self. Just when or where I learned that the full quota of human weakness and strength was the common property of each of us, I don抰 know. But somewhere in my late twenties, I grew able to admit my own drives—and, rid of the anguished necessity of re-costuming them, I was free to face them, and recognize that they were neither unique nor uncontrollable. 　　我相信人若不能接受自己，便不可能接受和善待他人。不知从何时何地开始，我意识到每个人都有优点和缺点。在我快满三十岁的时候，我学会了承认内心的冲动，而非痛苦地将其掩饰，我泰然自若地应付它们，因为它们乃人之共性，只需善于驾驭。 　　The rich and happy life I lead every day brings new witness to the validity of my own philosophy, for me. Certainly it works in marriage. Any real marriage
