　　教師，是一個(gè)崇高的職業(yè)。因?yàn)榻處熓菫樯鐣?huì)培養(yǎng)人才的園丁，是人類(lèi)靈魂的工程師。那么，當(dāng)一名老師又能給教師自己帶來(lái)什么呢?

　　Why I Teach

　　I teach because I like the pace of the academic calendar. June, July, and August offer an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.

　　I teach because teaching is a profession built on change. When the material is the same, I change and, more important, my students change.

　　I teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, to stimulate myself and my students. As a teacher, Im my own boss. If I want my freshmen to learn to write by creating their own textbook, who is to say I cant? Such courses may be huge failures, but we can all learn from failures.

　　I teach because I like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer. The world is full of right answers to bad questions. While teaching, I sometimes find good questions.

　　So teaching gives me pace and variety, and challenge, and the opportunity to keep on learning①.

　　However, the most important reasons why I teach are that my students grow up and change in front of me. Some have become doctoral students with excellent success and found good jobs; some have become interested in the urban poor and served as civil rights lawyers; some have decided to finish high school and go to college.

　　But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teachers life and begins to breathe. Perhaps love is the wrong word: magic might be better.

　　I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.

　　行文點(diǎn)評(píng)

　　文章第一段到第四段都采用了I teach because...的句型開(kāi)頭，句式統(tǒng)一，在內(nèi)容上構(gòu)成了并列。每段的第一句即為該段的主題句，先指出自己想要當(dāng)老師的原因，接著再具體進(jìn)行解釋。在第五段中，作者用So概括了上述原因，再次重申Why I Teach，呼應(yīng)主題。第六段開(kāi)頭借助However一詞的過(guò)渡，指出教書(shū)最重要的理由，和前文構(gòu)成了語(yǔ)義上的遞進(jìn)。文章最后一段還是用I teach because...結(jié)尾，與段首相呼應(yīng)，使文章顯得有始有終。

　　好文妙譯

　　我為什么當(dāng)老師

　　我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)槲蚁矏?ài)學(xué)校日程的安排。六月、七月和八月這三個(gè)月的暑假提供了一個(gè)思考、研究和創(chuàng)作的機(jī)會(huì)。

　　我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)榻虒W(xué)是建立在變化基礎(chǔ)上的職業(yè)。雖然教材還是原來(lái)的不變，但我自身卻變了，更重要的是，我的學(xué)生變了。

　　我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)槲蚁矚g有讓自己犯錯(cuò)的自由，喜歡自己吸取教訓(xùn)的自由，喜歡激勵(lì)自己和激勵(lì)學(xué)生的自由。作為教師，我可以自行做主。如果我想要求一年級(jí)學(xué)生通過(guò)自己編寫(xiě)課本的方法來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)寫(xiě)作，誰(shuí)會(huì)說(shuō)我不能那樣做呢?這樣的課程也許會(huì)徹底失敗，但我們都可以從失敗中獲得教益。

　　我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)槲蚁矚g提出學(xué)生必須絞盡腦汁方能回答的問(wèn)題。我們這個(gè)世界充滿(mǎn)了對(duì)付拙劣問(wèn)題的正確答案。我在教學(xué)過(guò)程中，有時(shí)也發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些好的問(wèn)題。所以說(shuō)，教書(shū)讓生活變得有節(jié)奏、豐富多彩;教書(shū)向我提出了挑戰(zhàn)，也給了我不斷學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)。

　　然而，我教書(shū)最重要的理由是，我的學(xué)生在我面前成長(zhǎng)、發(fā)展、變化。有些學(xué)生成了成就斐然的博士，找到了好工作;有些對(duì)城市貧民發(fā)生了興趣，當(dāng)了維護(hù)公民權(quán)力的律師;有些決定讀完高中后繼續(xù)上大學(xué)。

　　教書(shū)還帶來(lái)了超越金錢(qián)和權(quán)力以外的東西：那便是愛(ài)。不僅是愛(ài)學(xué)習(xí)、愛(ài)書(shū)本、愛(ài)思想，還有老師對(duì)出類(lèi)拔萃的學(xué)生的愛(ài)。這樣的學(xué)生走進(jìn)了老師的生活，開(kāi)始成長(zhǎng)起來(lái)。愛(ài)這個(gè)字也許用得不恰當(dāng)，說(shuō)是魔力也許更為貼切。

　　我教書(shū)，是因?yàn)榕c開(kāi)始成長(zhǎng)的學(xué)生朝夕相處打成一片，我偶爾發(fā)現(xiàn)自己也和他們一起開(kāi)始成長(zhǎng)了。

　　詞匯斟酌

　　calendar n.日歷，月歷

　　stimulate vt.刺激，激勵(lì)

　　freshman n. 新生, 大學(xué)一年級(jí)學(xué)生

　　佳句臨摹

　　①【注釋】keep on 繼續(xù)

　　【臨摹】She kept on working although she was tired. 她累了,卻仍在繼續(xù)工作。

　　思如泉涌

　　Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass. 生活無(wú)目標(biāo)，猶如航海無(wú)羅盤(pán)。

　　A burden of ones choice is not felt. 愛(ài)挑的擔(dān)子不嫌重。
