青岛翻译公司：一生中最好的老师

There is a story from many years ago of a primary school teacher. Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked her students and said that she loved them all the same.

这个故事说的是多年前一名叫汤普森夫人的小学老师，在开学第一天的时候，她站在五年级全班学生面前，对孩子们撒了一个谎。像大多数老师一样，她看着同学们，说她会一视同仁地爱他们每一个人。

But that was impossible because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.

但这是不可能的，因为前排座位上就坐着个萎靡不振的小男孩，他叫特迪·斯托达德。

Mrs.Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, his clothes were messy and constantly need a bath. And ,Teddy could be unpleasant.

汤普森夫人去年就开始留意特迪，发觉他不大和其他孩子一起玩耍，衣衫不整，身上总是很脏，而且，特迪还不讨人喜欢。

Mrs.Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

汤普森夫人特别关注特迪。在她的悉心教导下，他的思维似乎变得敏捷起来。她越鼓励他，他的反应就越快。到了年底，特迪已在全班名列前茅。
