英語(yǔ)美文欣賞：態(tài)度決定一切(2)
幸運(yùn)的是，杰里很快就被人發(fā)現(xiàn)了，他們很快將他送到了當(dāng)?shù)氐膫熤行摹＝?jīng)過(guò)18小時(shí)的手術(shù)和幾星期的悉心護(hù)理，他終于出院了，體內(nèi)還殘留著子彈的碎片。
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.
那件事之后六個(gè)月后我見(jiàn)到了杰里。我問(wèn)他身體怎樣了，他答道：“好極了!想不想看看我的傷疤?”我沒(méi)看他的傷疤，但我問(wèn)他在搶劫案發(fā)生的時(shí)候，他腦子里在想些什么。
"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live."
杰里回答說(shuō)：“我首先想的是我要是把后門鎖上就好了，但是躺在地板上的時(shí)候，我想到自己有兩個(gè)選擇：我可以選擇生，或選擇死。我選擇了生�！�
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.
“你難道一點(diǎn)也不怕嗎?你失去知覺(jué)了嗎?”我問(wèn)。
Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, "He's a dead man." "I knew I needed to take action."
杰里繼續(xù)說(shuō)：“醫(yī)生們很好，他們不斷地告訴我我會(huì)好起來(lái)的。但他們推我進(jìn)急救室時(shí)，我看到醫(yī)生和護(hù)士臉上的表情，我覺(jué)得很害怕。他們臉上寫(xiě)著‘這個(gè)人要死了。’我知道我該采取些行動(dòng)了。”
"What did you do?" I asked.
“你做了什么?”我問(wèn)。
"Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. "Yes," I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!"
“當(dāng)時(shí)有個(gè)牛高馬大的護(hù)士朝我喊：‘杰里,你對(duì)什么東西過(guò)敏嗎?’‘有，’我喊回去�！鞘裁�?’她問(wèn)。醫(yī)生和護(hù)士們都停下來(lái)等我回答。我深深吸了口氣，喊道：‘子彈：’”
Over their laughter, I told them. "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
“他們?nèi)ζ饋?lái)，接著我對(duì)他們說(shuō)：‘瞧,我選擇要活下來(lái)。給我動(dòng)手術(shù)，把我當(dāng)成個(gè)活人而不是死人來(lái)醫(yī)治�！�
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
杰里活了下來(lái)，部分原因是醫(yī)生的醫(yī)術(shù)高明，但更主要是因?yàn)樗遣磺粨系膽B(tài)度。
Attitude, after all, is everything.
畢竟，態(tài)度能決定一切。
