（完整版）Unit5FourteenSteps课文翻译综合教程二.docUnit 5 Fourteen StepsHal Manwaring1 They say a cat has nine lives, 1 and I am inclined to think that possible since I amnow living my third life and I ’ m not even a cat. My first life began on a clear, cold day in November 1934, when I arrived as the sixth of eight children of a farming family.My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. As thechildren grew up, they married, leaving only one sister and myself to support andcare for Mother, who became paralyzed in her last years and died while still in her60s. My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year.2This was when I began to enjoy my first life. I was very happy, in excellent health, and quite a good athlete. My wife and I became the parents of two lovely girls.I had a good job in San Jose and a beautiful home up the peninsula in San Carlos.Life was a pleasant dream. Then the dream ended. I became afflicted with a slowlyprogressive disease of the motor nerves, affecting first my right arm and leg, and then my other side. Thus began my second life ?3 In spite of my disease I still drove to and from work each day, with the aid ofspecial equipment installed in my car. And I managed to keepmy health and optimism, to a degree, because of 14 steps.4 Crazy? Not at all. Our home was a split-level affair with 14 steps leading up fromthe garage to the kitchen door. Those steps were a gauge of life. They were my yardstick, my challenge to continue living. I felt that if the day arrived when I was unable to lift one foot up one step and then drag the other painfully after it —repeating the process 14 times until, utterly spent, I would be through —I could then admit defeat and lie down and die. 2 So I kept on working, kept on climbing those steps. And time passed. The girls went to college and were happily married, and mywife and I were alone in our beautiful home with the 14 steps.5 You might think that here walked a man of courage and strength. Not so. Herehobbled a bitterly disillusioned cripple, a man who held on to his sanity and his wifeand his home and his job because of 14 miserable steps leading up to the back doorfrom his garage. 3 As I became older, I became more disillusioned and frustrated.6 Then on a dark night in August, 1971, I began my third life. It was raining when Istarted home that night; gusty winds and slashing rain beat down on the car as I drove slowly down one of the less-traveled roads. 4 Suddenly the steering wheel jerked in my hands and the car swerved violently to the right. In the same instant I heard the dreaded bang of a blowout. I fought the car to stop on the rain-slickshoulder of the road and sat there as the enormity of the situation swept over me. 5 Itwas impossible for me to change that tire! Utterly impossible!A thought that apassing motorist might stop was dismissed at once. Why should anyone? I knew Iwouldn ’ t! Then I remembered that a shor t distance up a little side road was a house.I started the engine and thumped slowly along, keeping well over on the shoulderuntil I came to the dirt road, where I turned in —thankfully. Lighted windowswelcomed me to the house and I pulled into the driveway and honked the horn.7The door opened and a little girl stood there, peering at me.I rolled down the window and called out that I had a flat tire and needed someone to change it for me because I had a crutch and couldn ’dot it myself. She went into t he house and amoment later came out bundled in raincoat and hat, followed by a man who called acheerful greeting. I sat there comfortable and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the manand the little girl working so hard in the storm. Well, I would pay them for it. Therain seemed to be slackening a bit now, and I rolled down the window all the way towatch. It seemed to me that they were awfully slow and I was beginning to becomeimpatient. I heard the clank of metal from the back of the car and the little gi rl ’ svoice came clearly to me. “ Here’ s -thehandle,jack Grandpa. ” She was answered bythe murmur o f the man ’ s lower voice and the slow tilting of the car as it was jackedup. 6 There followed a long interval of noises, jolts and low conversation from theback of the car, but finally it was done. I felt the car bump as the jack was removed,and I heard the slam of the truck lid, and then they were standing at my car window.8 He was an old man, stooped and frail-looking under his slicker. The little girlwas about eight or ten, I judged, with a merry face and a wide smile as she looked upat me. He said , “ This is a bad night for car trouble, but you ’ re all set now. ” “ ThanI said. “ How much do I owe you? ” He shook his head. “ Nothing. Cynthia t old me youwere a cripple —on crutches. Glad to be of help. I know you ’ d do the same for me.There ’ s no charge, friend. ” I held out-dollarfivebill. “ No!I like to pay my way. ” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and saidquietly, “ Grandpa can ’ t see it. ”9 In the next few frozen seconds the shame and horror of that moment penetratedand I was sick with an intensity I had never felt before. 7 A blind man and a child!Fumbling, feeling with cold, wet fingers for bolts and tools in the dark —a darknessthat for him would probably never end until death. I don ’t owrememberlongIsath there after they said good night and left me, but it was long enough for me to searchdeep within myself and find some disturbing traits. I realized that I was filled tooverflowing with self-pity, selfishness, indifference to the needs of others andthoughtlessness. 8 I sat there and said a prayer.10 “ Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye evenso to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 9”T o me now, months later, thisScriptural admonition is more than just a passage in the Bible. It is a way of life, onethat I am trying to follow. It isn ’ t always easy. Sometimes it is frustrating, sometimesexpensive in both time and money, but the value is there. I am trying now not only toclimb 14 steps each day, but in my small way to help others. Someday, perhaps, I willchange a tire for a blind man in a car —someone as blind as I had been.14级台阶人猫有 9 条命 , 我向于是可能的, 因我在活的是第三次生命, 而我不是猫。

Unit 5 Fourteen Steps课文翻译综合教程二《Fourteen Steps》刚好在一年前，我那八十一岁高龄的老父亲从楼梯上摔了下来。

从那以后，他的身体状况急剧恶化，精神也每况愈下。

父亲一直是个很要强的人，可这次的意外让他变得极度脆弱和依赖他人。

在那个可怕的日子之后，父亲被送进了医院。

医生们尽力治疗他的伤势，但他们也很清楚，这次的摔伤对他这个年纪的人来说是个沉重的打击。

他在医院里住了几个星期，然后被送回了家，可他再也无法像以前那样自由行动了。

母亲尽她所能地照顾父亲，但她自己的身体也不太好，而且年纪也大了，无法承担所有的照顾工作。

于是，我们兄弟姐妹几个商量着请了一位护工来帮忙。

日子一天天过去，父亲的情绪越来越低落。

他曾经是个热爱户外活动的人，喜欢在花园里劳作，喜欢散步。

可现在，他被困在了轮椅上，只能望着窗外，眼神中充满了失落和无奈。

有一天，我去看望父亲。

他坐在客厅的窗边，默默地看着外面的世界。

我走到他身边，轻轻地握住他的手。

他转过头看着我，眼中闪烁着泪花。

“孩子，”他声音颤抖地说，“我觉得自己就像个废人。

我连自己走到厕所都做不到。

”我的心一阵刺痛，我不知道该如何安慰他。

我只能紧紧地握住他的手，告诉他我们都爱他，会一直在他身边。

过了几天，我突然有了一个想法。

我决定在我们家的楼梯上安装一些扶手，这样也许父亲能够试着重新练习走路。

我找来了工具和材料，开始动手安装扶手。

这并不是一项简单的工作，但我心里充满了希望。

当扶手终于安装好的时候，我兴奋地跑到父亲的房间，告诉他这个好消息。

父亲看着我，眼中闪过一丝惊喜。

“真的吗？也许我可以试试看。

”我小心翼翼地把父亲从轮椅上扶起来，让他靠着扶手慢慢地站起来。

他的腿在颤抖，但他的眼神中充满了坚定。

“一步，两步……”我在旁边轻声地数着。

父亲艰难地迈出了第一步，然后是第二步。

每一步都像是一场巨大的胜利。

“十三步，十四步！”当父亲终于走到楼梯的尽头时，我忍不住欢呼起来。
