My Mother's Gift
母亲的礼物
Suzanne Chazin
苏珊娜·蔡津
I grew up in a small town where the elementary school was a ten-minute wa lk from my houseand in an age , not so long ago , when children could go ho me for lunch and find their motherswaiting.
我是在一个小镇上长大的，从镇上的小学校到我家，只需步行10分钟。离当前不算太太久远的那个时代，小学生可以回家吃午饭，而他们的母亲，则会老早在家等候着。
At the time, I did not consider this a luxury, although today it certainly would be. I took it forgranted that mothers were the sandwich-makers, the finger-p ainting appreciators and thehomework monitors. I never questioned that this ambitious, intelligent woman, who had hada career before I was born and would eventually return to a career, would spend almost everylunch hour thr oughout my elementary school years just with me.
这一切对如今的孩子来说，无疑是一种奢望了，可是那时的我，却并不以为然。我觉得做母亲的给她的孩子制作三明治，鉴赏指画，检查他们的家庭作业，都是理所当然的事。我从来没有想过：像我母亲这样一个颇有抱负又很聪明的女人，在我降生之前，她有一份工作，而且后来她又谋了份差事，可是，在我上小学那几年，她却几乎天天陪着我吃午饭，一同打发午餐时的每一分钟。
I only knew that when the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would bestanding at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me with a l ook that suggested I was the onlyimportant thing she had on her mind. For th is, I am forever grateful.
只记得，每当午时铃声一响，我就一口气地往家里跑。母亲总是站在门前台阶的最高层，笑盈盈地望着我--那神情分明表示：我便是母亲心目中唯一最重要的东西了。为此，我一辈子都要感谢我的母亲。
Some sounds bring it all back: the highpitched squeal of my mother's teakettl e, the rumble ofthe washing machine in the basement and the jangle of my dog's license tags as she bounded down the stairs to greet me. Our time tog ether seemed devoid of thegerrymandered schedules that now pervade my l ife.
如今，每当我听到一些声音，像母亲那把茶壶水开时发出的尖叫声，地下室洗衣机的隆隆声，还有，我那条狗蹦下台阶冲我摇头摆尾时它脖子上那牌照发出的撞击声，便会勾起我对往事的回忆。和母亲在一起的岁月，全然没有充斥于我的生活中的、事先做好的安排往往任意改动。可是，和母亲在一起的那些岁月里，这样的现象似乎根本不存在。
One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had b een picked to bethe princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly rehearsed my lineswith me. But no matter how easily I delive red them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage,every word disappeared fro m my head.
我永远忘不了在我上三年级时的那一顿午饭。在那天之前，我被学校选中，要在一个即将演出的小剧中扮演公主的角色。一连好几个礼拜，母亲总是不辞辛劳地陪着我，一起背诵台词。可是，不管在家里怎么背得滚瓜烂熟，只要一上舞台，我的脑子里就成了一片空白。Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narra tor's part to theplay, and asked me to switch roles. Her word, kindly delivere d, still stung, especially when I sawmy part go to another girl.
终于，老师把我叫到了一边。她说剧中旁白这个角色的台词已写好了，想把我替换下来当旁白。尽管老师这些话说得和和气气，可还是刺痛了我的心，特别是当我发觉自己扮演的公主角色让另外一个女孩顶替时，更是如此。
I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that d ay. But shesensed my unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines , she asked If I wanted towalk in the yard.
那天回家吃午饭时我没有把这事告诉母亲。然而，母亲见我心神不定，因此没有再提练习背台词的事儿，而是问我愿意不愿意到院子里散散步。
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine on the trellis was turning green. Under the hugeelm trees, we could see yellow dandelions popping through th e grass in bunches, as if a painterhad touched our landscape with dabs of g old .I watched my mother casually bend down byone of the clumps.
"I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,
"she said, yanking a blossom up by its roots.
"From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden. "
那真是一个可爱的春日，棚架上蔷薇的藤蔓正在转青。在一些高大的榆树下面，我们可以看到，一丛丛黄色的蒲公英冒出草坪，仿佛是一位画家为了给眼前的美景增色而着意加上的点点金色。我看到母亲在一簇花丛旁漫不经心地弯下身来。“我看得把这些野草都拨了，”她说着，一边使劲把一丛蒲公英连根拨出。“往后咱这园子里只让长蔷薇花。”
"But I like dandelions, " I protested. "All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions. "
“可是我喜欢蒲公英，”我不满地说，“凡是花都好看--蒲公英也不例外。”
My mother looked at me seriously.
"Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?"She asked thoug htfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over.
"And that is true of peopletoo, " she added.
"Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.
母亲严肃地看着我。“噢，这么说，每朵花都自有它令人赏心悦目的地方喽？”她若有所思地问道。我点了点头，总算说服了母亲，这使我很得意。“可是人也一样呀，”母亲接着又发话，“不见得人人都能当公主，但当不了公主并不丢脸。”
Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what ha
d happened. Shelistened and smiled reassuringly.
母亲猜到了我的苦恼，这使我的情绪安定下来。我哭了起来，把事情的经过讲给母亲听。母亲专注地听着，脸上带着安详的微笑。
"But you will be a beautiful narrator,
" she said , reminding me of how much I loved to readstories aloud to her . "The narrator's part is every bit as important as the part of a princess. "
“但你会成为一名顶呱呱的解说员，”母亲又说。她说平常我是多么喜欢朗诵故事给她听，还说“从哪方面看，旁白这个角色都和公主那个角色一样重要”。
Over the next few weeks, with her constant encouragement, I learned to t ake pride in therole. Lunchtimes were spent reading over my lines and talkin g abut what I would wear.
往后的几个星期，在母亲的一再鼓励下，我渐渐地以担任旁白的角色感到骄傲。利用午饭时间，我们又一起念台词，议论到时候我该穿什么样的演出服装。
Backstage the night of the performance, I felt nervous. A few minutes befo re the play, myteacher came over to me.
"Your mother asked me to give this to you,
" she said, handing me adandelion. Its edges were already beginning to curl and it flopped lazily from its stem. But justlooking at it, knowing my mother was out there and thinking of our lunchtime talk, made meproud .
到了演出那个晚上，当我登上后台，心里还感到紧张。离演出还有几分钟的时候，老师朝我走了过来。“你母亲让我把这个交给你，”说着她递过来了一朵蒲公英。那花儿四周已开始打蔫，花瓣儿从梗上向下有气无力地耷拉着。可是，只要看一眼，知道母亲就在外面呆着，回想起和母亲用午饭时说的那些话，我就感到胸有成竹。
After the play , I took home the flower I had stuffed in the apron of my costu me . My motherpressed it between two sheets of paper toweling in a dictionar y , laughing as she did it that wewere perhaps the only people who would pre ss such a sorry-looking weed .
演出结束后，我把塞在演出服围裙里的那朵蒲公英拿回了家。母亲将花接了过去，用两张纸巾将它压平，夹在了一本字典里。她一边忙碌着，一边笑，想到也许只有我们俩会珍藏这么一朵打了蔫的野草花。
I often look back on our lunchtimes together , bathed in the soft midday light . They were thecommas in my childhood , the pauses that told me life is not s avored in premeasured increment , but in the sum of daily rituals and small p leasures we casually share with lovedones . Over peanut-butter sandwiches a nd chocolate-chip cookies , I learned that love , firstand foremost , means bei ng there for the little things .
我常常回想起和母亲在一起度过的那些沐浴在和煦阳光之中的午餐时光。它们是我孩提时代的一个个小插曲，告诉我一个道理：人生的滋味，就在于和我们所爱的人在一起不经意地共度的日常生活、分享的点点滴滴的欢乐，而不在于某种事先测量好的“添加剂”。在享用母亲做的花生酱、三明治和巧克力碎末小甜饼的时候，我懂得了，爱就体现在这些细微这处。
A few months ago , my mother came to visit , I took off a day from work and treated her tolunch. The restaurant bustled with noontime activity as business people made deals and glancedat their watches . In the middle of all this sat my mother , now retired , and I . From her face Icould see that she relished t he pace of the work world .
几个月前，母亲又来看我。我特意请了天假，陪母亲吃午饭。中午，饭馆里熙熙壤攘，做生意的人忙不迭地从事交易活动，他们不时地看看手表。如今已经退休的母亲和我就坐在这群人中间。从母亲的表情中，我看得出，母亲打心眼里喜欢上班族这种生活的节奏。"Mom , you must have been terribly bored staying at home when I was a chil d , " I said .
“妈，我小的时候，您老呆在家里一定觉得很烦吧？”我说。
"Bored? Housework is boring . But you were never boring . "
“烦？做家务是令人心烦，不过，你从来没使我感到心烦过。”
I didn't believe her , so I pressed .
"Surely children are not as stimulating as a career. "
我不相信这是实话，于是我又想法子套她的话。“看孩子哪会像工作那样富有刺激性呢？”
"A career is stimulating , " she said .
"I'm glad I had one . But a career is like an open balloon.It remains inflated only as long as you keep pumping . A child is a seed . You water it . You caref or it the best you can . And then it grows all by itself into a beautiful flower . "
“工作是富有刺激性的，”母亲答道，“很高兴我也有过工作。可是工作好比开了口的气球，你只有不停地充气，它才能鼓着劲。可是一个孩子就是一粒种子，你浇灌了它，全心全意地爱护它，然后，它就会独立自主地开出美丽的花朵来。”
Just then , looking at her , I could picture us sitting at her kitchen table once again , and Iunderstood why I kept that flaky brown dandelion in our old fam ily dictionary pressed betweentwo crumpled bits of paper towel.
此时此刻，我凝视着母亲，脑海里又浮现儿时和母亲一起坐在饭桌旁的情景，同时也明白了我为什么仍要把那朵已经发黑、一碰就碎的蒲公英用两片皱纸巾夹起来，珍藏在祖传的那本旧词典里。
My Father's Music
我父亲的音乐
Wayne Kalyn
韦恩·卡林
I remember the day Dad first lugged the heavy accordion up our front stoop,t axing his small frame. He gathered my mother and me in the living room and opened the case as if it were atreasure chest. "Here it is,"he said.
"Once you learn to play, it'll stay with you for life."
我还记得那天，爸爸豁出瘦小的身躯，第一次把那沉甸甸的手风琴拖上我们家的门廊。他把妈姆和我召到客厅，打开箱子，好像那是个百宝箱似的.“给，”。他说，“你一学会拉它，它就跟你终身做伴。”
If my thin smile didn't match his full-fledged grin, it was because I had praye d for a guitar or apiano. It was 1960, and I was glued to my AM radio,listeni ng to Del Shannon and ChubbyChecker. Accordions were nowhere in my hit p
arade. As Ilooked at the shiny white keys andcream-colored bellows, I could a lready hear my friends' squeeze box jokes.
我淡淡一笑，满不像他那么喜笑颜开，可那是因为裁一直巴望着有一把吉他，或一架钢琴。当时是1960年，我迷上了在调幅广播里收听戴尔·香农和查比·切克的音乐。手风琴在我的流行曲目里根本排不上号。看着那白晃晃的琴键和奶油色的风箱，我都可以听到伙伴们嘲弄这玩意儿的声音。
For the next two weeks, the accordion was stored in the hall closet. Then one evening Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week. In dis belief I shot my eyes towardMom for support. The firm set of her jaw told me I was out of luck.
后来的两个礼拜，手风琴一直搁在门厅的壁橱里。有天晚上，爸爸宣布，’下周起我就开始上手风琴课。狐疑中我直向母亲递眼色，求她帮忙。可她紧闭着嘴，就是说我这次倒了霉了。Spending $300 for an accordion and $5 per lesson was out of character for m y father. He waspractical always-something he learned growing up on a Penns ylvania farm. Clothes, heat andsometimes even food were scarce.
花300元买架手风琴，每上一课还得交五元，这可不合我父亲的性格。他向来都很讲究实际——这是他自小在宾夕法尼亚州的农场学来的。当时穿的，取暖的，有时候连吃的都很少。Before I was born, he and my mother moved into her parents' two-story hom e in Jersey City,N.J. I grew up there on the second floor; my grandparents liv ed downstairs. Each weekday Dadmade the three-hour commute to and from Long Island, where he was a supervisor in acomparty that serviced jet engine s. Weekends, he tinkered in the cellar, turning scraps ofplywood into a utility cabinet or fixing a broken toy with spare parts. Quiet andshy, he wasnever more comfortable than when at his workbench.
我出生前，父母搬进了新泽西州泽西城外公外婆家一楼一底的房子。我就是在那儿的楼上长大的，外公他们住楼下。爸爸每天去长岛上班来回要坐三个小时的车。他在那儿的一家飞机发动机维修公司做监督，周末他就在地窖里东修西补，不是把零星的胶合板拼凑成多用柜，就是找些个零部件修理破玩具。他生性沉静腼腆，只有坐在工作凳上时他才最为自在。Only music carried Dad away from his world of tools and projects. On a Sunda y drive, he turnedthe radio on immediately. At red lights, I'd notice his foot ta pping in time. He seemed to hangon every note.
只有音乐可以使爸爸陶醉，忘却他那个近视工具和活计的天地。星期天只要一开车，他便打开收音机。遇见红灯，就见他的脚及时地轻轻打起拍子。他好像不放过每一个音符。
Still, I wasn't prepared when, rummaging in a closet, I found a case that look ed to me like a tinyguitar's. Opening it, I saw the polished glow of a beautiffi l violin. "It's your father's," Mom said.
"His parents bought it for him. I guess he got too busy on the farm to ever le arn to play it." Itried to imagine Dad's rough hands on this delicate instrum ent-and couldn't. .
然而，我还是没有料到，又一次翻一个壁橱，竟发现一只盒子，我看像个小吉他盒。打开一看，却是把漂亮的小提琴，光滑锃亮的。“那是你父亲的，”妈妈说，“他父母给他买的。怕是农场上太忙了吧，他压根儿就没顾上学。”我尽量想象爸爸那双粗手在摆弄这把精巧的小提琴——可就是想象不出来。
Shortly after, my lessons began with Mr. Zelli at the Allegro Accordion School tucked betweenan old movie theater and a pizza parlor. On my first day, with straps straining my shoulder, Ifelt clumsy in every way.
"How did he do?" my father asked when it was over.
"Fine for the firstlesson,"said Mr.ZeUi. Dad glowed with hope.
不久，我在手风琴速成学校跟泽里先生上起课来了，那个学校夹在一家旧电影院和一家馅饼店之间。第一天，我肩上勒紧了两条皮带，怎么都觉得别扭。“他怎么样？”过后父亲问老师。“第一课嘛，还可以。”泽里先生说。爸爸看有希望，神采奕奕。
I was ordered to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. Myfuture seemed to be outside playing ball, not in the house masteri ng songs I would soonforget, but my parents hounded me to practice.
按规定我每天的练半小时的琴，而我每天都没法躲过去。我看我的前途是在户外打球，不是呆在屋里练很快就会遗忘的曲子，可父母逼着我练。
Gradually, to my surprise, I was able to string notes together and coordinat e my hands toplay simple songs. Often, after supper, my father would reques ta tune or two. As he sat in hiseasy chair, I would fumble through "Lady of S pain" and "Beer Barrel Polka."
想不到我渐渐可以把各个音符串起来，两手配合着拉起简单的歌曲了。晚饭后，父亲常常要我拉上一两段曲子。他坐在安乐椅里，我就笨手笨脚地拉完《西班牙女郎》和《啤酒桶波尔卡》
"Very nice, better than last week," he'd say. Then I would segue into a med-l ey of his favorites,
"Red River Valley" and "Home on the Range," and he would drift off to sleep,
the newspaperfolded on his lap. I took it as a compliment that he could rela x under the spell of my playing.
“很好，比上星期强。”他会说。于是我一口气拉下去，把他最喜欢的歌曲《红河谷》和《家在牧场》混在一起，于是他不知不觉地睡去，报纸还摊在膝上。他能在我的演奏感召之下，也轻松一下算是对我的赞赏吧。
One July evening I was giving an almost flawless rendition of "Come Back to Sorrento,"and myparents called me to an open window. An elderly neighbor, rarely seen outside her house, wasleaning against our car humming dreamily to the tune. When I finished, she smiled broadly andcalled out,
"I remember that song as a child in Italy. Beautiful, just beautiful."
有年七月的一天傍晚，我正在拉《重归苏连托》，几乎是无懈可击，父母把我叫到一扇窗口。一个上了年纪的邻居，很少见她出门，这时正依在我家车旁，恍恍惚惚地跟着曲子哼着。我拉完了，她笑眯眯地喊道：“我小时候在意大利就记得这首歌。好听，真好听。”Throughout the summer, Mr. Zelli's lessons grew more difficult. It took me a week and a half tomaster them now. All the while I could hear my buddies ou tside playing heated games ofstickball. I'd also hear an occasional taunt: "Hey, where's your monkey and cup?
整个夏天，泽里先生的课越上越难。现在要花一个半星期才能学会。我一边学琴一边可以听到伙伴们在外面玩棍球玩得好热闹，不时还听到句把损人的话：“喂！你那猴儿罐儿呢？”Such humiliation paled, though, beside the impending fall recital, I would have to play a solo on a local movie theater's stage. I wanted to skip the who le thing. Emotions boiled over in thecar one Sunday afternoon.
不过，眼看秋季演奏会就要到来，这么糟践人也就不算个事了。强得耷本地一家电影院上台独奏。我想赖掉这差事。个星期天下午在车上，我们都动了感情，都发火了。
"I don't want to play a solo," I said.
我不想独奏。”我说。
"You have to," replied my father.
你就得独奏。”父亲答道。
"Why?" I shouted.
"Because you didn't get to play your violin when you were a kid? Whyshould I have to play this stupid instrument when you never had to play yours7"Da d pulled thecar over and pointed at me.
“为啥？”我吼道，“就因为你小时候没能拉成小提琴？你不拉就行我干吗就非得拉这笨乎乎的玩意儿？爸爸刹住车，面对着我。
"Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts. That's a gift I won't let youthrow away." He added softly,
"Someday you'll have chance I never had: you'll play beautifulmusic for your f amily. And you understand why you've worked so hard."
“就因为你可以给别人带来欢乐。你可以打动他们的心。，那是给人的一份礼物，我不许你白扔了。”他又轻声说，“总有一天你会有我从来没有的机会：你会给你的妻子儿女演奏美丽动听的音乐。那时候你就会明白你干吗要这么苦练了。”
I was speechless. I had rarely heard Dad speak with such feeling about anythi ng, much less theaccordion. From then on, I practiced without parents' makin g me.
我无言以对。我很少听到父亲说话这么动情，更何况是说的手风琴。从此我练琴不用父母逼了。
The evening of the concert Mom wore glittery earrings and more makeup tha n I couldremember. Dad got out of work early, put on a suit and tie, and slick ed down his hair withVitalis. They were an hour early, so we sat in the living r oom chatting nervously. I got the unspoken message that playing this one so ng was a dream come true for them.
音乐会那天晚上，妈妈戴上亮晶晶的耳环，脸上没见她这么打扮过。爸爸早早就下了班，扎上领带，一身套装，头发用发油梳得溜光。他们提前一小时就打扮完了，我们便坐在客厅里紧张地聊天。这时我得到一个无言的启示：演奏这么一首歌是实现他俩的一个梦想。
At the theater nervousness overtook me as I realized how much I wanted to make my parentsproud. Finally, it was my turn. I walked to the lone chairon stage and performed "Are YouLonesome Tonight?" without a mistake. The ap plause spilled out, with a few hands still clappingafter others hadstopped. I w as lightheaded, glad my ordeal was over.
在电影院，我意识到我是真想使父母感到自豪时，简直紧张死了。终于轮到我上场了。我走向台上孤零零的椅子，演奏了《今晚你可寂寞？》没出一点儿错。一时掌声四起，落下后还有几个人在拍手。我高兴得轻飘飘的，总算熬到头了。
After the concert Mom and Dad came backstage. The way they walked—hea ds high, facesflushed—I knew they were pleased. My mother gave me a big h ug. Dad slipped an arm aroundme and held me close.
"You were just great," he said. Then he shook my hand and was slow tolet it go.
音乐会散后妈妈和爸爸来到后台。瞧他们走路那神气——昂首挺胸，红光满面，我就知道他们很高兴。母亲紧紧拥抱了我。爸爸伸过一只胳臂搂住我不放。“你真是好样儿的！”他说，然后又握住我的手，久久不松开。
As the years went by, the accordion drifted to the background of my life. Dad asked me to playat family occasions, but the lessons stopped. When I went to college, the accordion stayedbehind in the hall closet next to my father's viol in.
随着岁月的流逝，那架手风琴在我的生活中也渐渐隐退了。爸爸只要我在家有节庆的时候拉一拉，课是不上了。我上大学，那琴就放在门厅的壁橱里，挨着父亲的小提琴。
A year after my graduation, my parents moved to a house in a nearby town. Dad, at 51, finallyowned his own home. On moving day, I didn't have the hea rt to tell him he could dispose ofthe accordion, so I brought it to my own ho me and put it in the attic.
我毕业一年后，父母搬到了附近一个镇上。父亲在51岁终于有了自己的房子。搬家那天，我不忍心告诉他可以把手风琴卖了，于是我把它拿回我自己的家，放在阁楼上。
There it remained, a dusty memory until one afternoon several years later wh en my two childrendiscovered it by accident. Scott thought it was secret treas ure; Holly thought a ghost livedinside. They were both right.
它就呆在那儿，一件灰尘扑扑的纪念物，直到好几年后的一天下午，我的两个孩子偶然发现了它。司各特以为是个秘藏的珍宝，荷里以为里头住了个精灵。他俩都讲对了。
When I opened the case, they laughed and said,
"play it, play it." Reluctantly,I strapped on theaccordion and played some sim ple songs. I was surprised! my skills hadn't rusted away. Soonthe kids were d ancing in circles and giggluig. Even my wife, Terri, was laughing and clapping tothe beat. I wa samazed at their unbridled glee.
我一打开箱子，他们就笑了，说道：“拉拉，拉拉嘛。”我勉强套上琴的背带，拉了一些简单的歌曲。没想到我的琴法竟然没有荒疏。很。陕孩子们就转着圈子跳呀笑个不停。连我妻子特丽也乐呵呵地和着节奏拍起手来。他们那兴高采烈的痛快劲儿真让我吃惊。
My father's words came back to me:
"Someday you'll have the chance I never had. Then you'II understand."I final
ly knew what it meant to work hard and sacrifice for others. Dad had beenri ght all along: the most precious gift is to touch the hearts of those you love.
这时，父亲的话又回到我的脑海：“总有一天你会有我从来没有的机会。那时你就会明白的。” 我终于明白了为他人努力工作和做出牺牲的意义。爸爸始终是对的：打动你所爱的人的心才是最宝贵的礼物。
Later I phoned Dad to let him know that, at long last, I understood. Fumbling for the rightwords, I thanked him for the legacy it took almost 30 years to di scover. "You're welcome," hesaid, his voice choked with emotion.
事后我打电话给爸爸，告诉他我终于明白过来了。我拙嘴笨舌地不知说什么好，只说我花了差不多30年的工夫才发现了他留给我的这笔财富，为此我感谢他。“不客气。”他说，嗓音因激动而哽咽了。
Dad never learned to coax sweet sounds from his violin. Yet he was wrong t o think he wouldnever for his family. On that wonderful evening, as my wife a nd children laughed and danced,they heard my accordion. But it was my fathe r's music.
爸爸从未学会从他那小提琴上拨出甜美的声音。但他以为他永远都不会为他的家人演奏乐曲，那是他错了。就在那个美妙的夜晚，我的妻儿又笑又跳，听着我拉手风琴。可那是我父亲的音乐。

Exploring Filipino School Counselors’ Beliefs about Learning Allan B. I. Bernardo [Abstract] School reform efforts that focus on student learning require school counselors to take on important new roles as advocates of student learning and achievement.But how do school counselors understand the process of learning? In this study, we explore the learning beliefs of 115 Filipino school counselors who indicated their degree of agreementwith 42 statements about the process of learning and the factors thatinfluence this process.A principal components analysis of the responses to the 42 statements suggested three factors:(F1)social-cognitive constructivist beliefs, (F2) teacher-curriculum-centered behaviorist beliefs,and (F3) individual difference factors.The preliminary results are briefly discussed in terms of issues related to how Filipino school counselors’ conceptions of learning may guide their strategies for promoting student learning and achievement. [Key words]beliefs about learning, conceptions of learning, school counselors, student learning, Philippines School reform efforts in different parts of the world have focusedon students’learning. In particular,most school improvement programsnow aim to ensure that students acquire the high-level knowledge and skills that help them to thrive in today’s highly competitive globaleconomy (e.g., Lee & Williams, 2006). I n this regard, school reform programs draw from various contemporary theories and research on learning (e.g.,Bransford,Brown, & Cocking, 1999; Lambert & McCombs, 1998).The basic idea is that all school improvement efforts should be directed at ensuring students achieve high levels of learning or attainment of well-defined curricular objectives and standards.For example, textbooks (Chien & Young, 2007), computers and educational technology (Gravoso, 2002; Haertnel & Means, 2003;Technology in Schools Task Force, 2003), and educational assessment systems (Black & Wiliam2004; Cheung & Ng, 2007; Clark, 2001; Stiggins, 2005) are being reconsidered as regards how they can effectively provide scaffolds and resources for advancing student learning. Likewise,the allocation and management of a school’s financial resources are assessed in terms ofwhether these are effectively mobilized and utilized towards improving student learning (Bolam, 2006; Chung & Hung, 2006; Retna, 2007). In this regard, some advocates have also called for an examination of the role of school counselors in these reform efforts (Herr, 2002). Inthe United States, House and Hayes (2002) challenged school counselors to take proactive leadership roles in advocating for the success of all

He was just reaching for his first sherry.同他一起出席聚会的老板也是一样，昏昏沉沉的。他用手托着脑袋试图要结账. 卡若琳坐在由玻璃窗围着的办公室里，看着他的脸变得更紫了。他在仲手拿第一瓶雪利洒。Running backwards and forwards between the kitchen and the dining room, Caroline had no time to think for a while.卡若琳在后厨和前厅之间忙碌着，无暇思索。When shefd first managed to get the waitressing job in the restaurant, she was delighted, for she was at her first year at university and jobs were scarce. She sighed. She”d wondered at the time at her ease in getting employment. It now appeared that her boss’reputation had preceded him, and no one else had applied. However, she had no time to think of that now. A portly blue-eyed man was giving her furious looks as he waited for his order. Damn! What was it again? She had been caught up with thefussy woman who had been so particular about how her steak was cooked. In fact, the offending meal had been sent back to the kitchen twice. It was, the woman complained, too well done---she liked her steak “blue”. Yuk! thought Caroline. Give me a well-done piece of steak every time. The man continued to glower at her while he watched the gray-haired lady”s antics.当卡若琳首次得到餐厅服务员工作的时候，她非常高兴，因为那时她仅是一名大一学生，对于大一的学生来说，工作是很难找的。她又叹了口气，她在想当时怎么就那么容易得到这份工作，现在算是明白了，她的老板声名在外，没人来他这应聘.但是，她现在没时间考虑那么多了。一个胖胖的蓝眼睛的男子正怒视着她好像在抱怨没及时给他点餐。该死，这回又是什么？她又被那个挑剔的女人纠缠上了，那个女人对她烹饪的牛排总是挑三拣四的。事实上，这份让客人恼火的菜己经反厨两次了。那个女人抱怨说这牛排太过火了，她喜欢五分熟的牛排。卡若琳想切，要是我吃，每次我都点熟过了的牛排。此时，那个要点餐的男子一边看着那灰白发的女人那古怪样子，一边继续怒视着卡若琳。Sweetly Caroline went to hi

基础英语2部分课后翻译
Unit1: 1)我们像在暖房里种花那样养孩子是错误的。我们必须让他们接触各种社会问题，因为不久他们就将作为公民来应对这些问题。 It is wrong to raise our children the way we grow flowers in the greenhouse. We must expose them to all social problems because very soon they will be dealing with them as responsible citizens. 2)随着时间的推移，我们不可避免地会越来越多地卷入国际事务。而冲突必然会发生，因为国家之间总有不同的观点和利益。 As time goes on we are inevitably going to get more and more involved in international affairs. And conflicts are sure to occur because there always exist different views and interests between nations. 3)我们为我们的成就而骄傲，我们有理由感到骄傲。但是我们永远不能变得狂妄，不然我们就会失去我们的朋友。 We are proud of our accomplishments, and we have reason to be. But we must never become arrogant. Otherwise we will lose our friends. 4)信息现在唾手可得。一个普通的电脑就能储存一个普通图书馆的信息。 Information is now easily available. An average computer can store the information of a small library 5)那家建筑公司没有资格操作这个项目。他们没有任何法律文件能证明他们具备必要的专门技术。 That construction company is not qualified to handle the project. They do not have any legal document to certify that they have the necessary expertise. We must find a company that specializes in building theatres. 6)这些智囊团不作决策。他们力图提出一些对决策者十分有用的新主意和深刻的分析。 These think tanks do not make decisions. They are out to generate new ideas and penetrating analyses that will be extremely useful for decision makers. 7)国内生产总值不是一切的。如果人民的生活质量没有真正改善的话，我们国家就并不能说已经现代化了。 The growth of GDP is not everything. Our country cannot be said to have been modernized unless the quality of our people’s lives is really improved. 8)虽然那时候我们在很多方面都很困难，但作为孩子我们仍然很幸福，因为有干净的空气、水；江河湖泊里有很多鱼、螃蟹、黄 鳝；田野里有花，有树，有鸟。 Poor as we were in many ways at that time, we were still quite happy as children, for there was clean air, clean water, a lot of fish, crabs and eels in the rivers, lakes, and ponds, and a lot of flowers, trees and birds in the fields. 9)只要给某一个人或某一群人以绝对权力，那这个人或这一群人就肯定会滥用权力，因为正如阿克顿勋爵所说，“权力使人腐败， 绝对权力绝对使人腐败。” Give absolute power to some individual or any particular group of people, and that person or group are sure to abuse that power because, just as Lord Acton says, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” 10)在我们国家，传统上都认为，“万般皆下品，惟有读书高”。 Traditionally in our country school education was always said to be more important and useful compared with all other pursuits. Unit2: 11)我跟你说，从各方面考虑，当教师不失为一个好主意。事实上，我认为这个主意好极了。

高速视频处理系统中的信号完整性分析 摘要：结合高速DSP图像处理系统讨论了高速数字电路中的信号完整性问题，分析了系统中信号反射、串扰、地弹等现象破坏信号完整性的原因，通过先进IS工具的辅助设计，找出了确保系统信号完整性的具体方法。 关键词：高速电路设计信号完整性 DSP系统 深亚微米工艺在IC设计中的使用使得芯片的集成规模更大、体积越来越小、引脚数越来越多；由于近年来IC工艺的发展，使得其速度越来越高。从而，使得信号完整性问题引起电子设计者广泛关注。 在视频处理系统中，多维并行输入输出信号的频率一般都在百兆赫兹以上，而且对时序的要求也非常严格。本文以DSP图像处理系统为背景，对信号完整性进行准确的理论分析，对信号完整性涉及的典型问题[1]——不确定状态、传输线效应、反射、串扰、地弹等进行深入研究，并且从实际系统入手，利用IS仿真软件寻找有效的途径，解决系统的信号完整性问题。 1 系统简介 为了提高算法效率，实时处理图像信息，本图像处理系统是基于DSP+FPGA结构设计的。系统由SAA7111A视频解码器、TI公司的TMS320C6701 DSP、Altera公司的EPlK50QC208 FPGA、PCI9054 PCI接口控制器以及SBRAM、SDRAM、FIFO、FLASH等构成。FPGA是整个系统的时序控制中心和数据交换的桥梁，而且能够对图像数据实现快速底层处理。DSP是整个系统实时处理高级算法的核心器件。系统结构框图如图1所示。 在整个系统中，PCB电路板的面积仅为15cm×l5cm，系统时钟频率高达167MHz，时钟沿时间为0．6ns。由于系统具有快斜率瞬变和极高的工作频率以及很大的电路密度，使得如何处理高速信号问题成为一个制约设计成功的关键因素。 2 系统中信号完整性问题及解决方案 2．1 信号完整性问题产生机理 信号的完整性是指信号通过物理电路传输后，信号接收端看到的波形与信号发送端发送的波形在容许的误差范围内保持一致，并且空间邻近的传输信号间的相互影响也在容许的范围之内。因此，信号完整性分析的主要目标是保证高速数字信号可靠的传输。实际信号总是存在电压的波动，如图2所示。在A、B两点由于过冲和振铃[2]的存在使信号振幅落入阴影部分的不确定区，可能会导致错误的逻辑电平发生。总线信号传输的情况更加复杂，任何一个信号发生相位上的超前或滞后都可能使总线上数据出错，如图3所示。图中，CLK为时钟信号，D0、D1、D2、D3是数据总线上的信号，系统允许信号最大的建立时间[1]为△t。在正常情况下，D0、D1、D2、D3信号建立时间△t1<△t，在△t时刻之后数据总线的数据已稳定，系统可以从总线上采样到正确的数据，如图3(a)所示。相反，当信号D1、D2、D3受过冲和振铃等信号完整问题干扰时，总线信号就发生

GRA VITY RETAINING?WALL 1. INTRODUCTION Retaining walls are structures used to provide stability for earth or other material where conditions disallow the mass to assume its natural slope, and are commonly used to hold back or support soilbanks,coal or ore piles, and water. Retaining walls are classified, based on the method of achieving stability, into six principal types (Fig.1). The gravity-wall depends upon its weight, as the name implies, for stability. The cantilever wall is a reinforced-concrete wall that utilizes cantilever action to retain the mass behind the wall from assuming a natural slope. Stability of this wall is partially achieved from the weight of soil on the heel portion of the base slab. A counterfort retaining wall is similar to a cantilever retaining wall, except that it is used where the cantilever is long or for very high pressures behind wall and has counterforts, which tie the wall and base together, built at intervals along the wall to reduce the bending moments and sheers. As indicated in Fig.1c, the counterfort is behind the wall and subjected to tensile forces. A buttressed retaining wall is similar to a counterfort wall, except that the bracing is in front of the wall and is in compression instead of tension. Two other types of walls not considered further are crib walls, which are built-up members of pieces of precast concrete, metal, or timber and are supported by anchor pieces embedded in the soil for stability, and semigravity walls, which are walls intermediate between a true gravity and a cantilever wall.

Wall Street Take a Dive Ronald Reagan’s 1985 budget took a thunderous shelling last week. Day after day, jittery Wall Street investors fired sell orders, hitting stock prices with their heaviest declines since 1982. Testifying in Washington, Federal Reserve Chairman Paul V olcker fired the single most damaging salvo by warning that the deficits envisaged in the budget pose a “clear and present danger”, threatening to keep interest rates high and tip the economy into a new recession. The size of the deficits is staggering. Rudolph Penner, director of the Congressional Budget Office, predicted that if policy is not changed, the flow of red ink will swell from $190 billion this year to $326 billion by 1989. In testimony on Capitol Hill, the President’s men acknowledged that the economy was in danger. Chief Economic Adviser Martin Feldstein, known as the Administration’s “Dr.Gloom,”agreed with Penner’s warning that the deficit could reach the $300 billion range by the evd of the decade. If that happened, said Feldstein, federal borrowing would be swallowing 75% of American savings and putting powerful upward pressure on interest rates. Even Treasury Secretary Donald Regan, usually an optimist and a critic of Feldstein’s dour outlook, admitted that “without proper fiscal and monetary policies, there is a possibility of our slipping back into a recession in the U.S.”Unless the Federal Reserve speeds up growth of the U.S money supply , warned Treasury Under Secretary Beryl Sprinkel, a recession could start this year. 译文：华尔街股价下跌 罗纳德里根1985财政年度的财政预算，上周遭到了猛烈的抨击。华尔街的投资者深感不安，每天都要下令抛售股票，压低股票价格，导致1982年以来最大幅度的下跌。联邦储备局主席保罗沃尔克在华盛顿作证时，放了最厉害的一炮。他告诫说：从财政预算中可以预见的赤字，带来“清清楚楚的、实实在在的危险”，使得利率居高不下，使得经济失去平衡。 赤字数额高得惊人。国会预算审议室主任鲁道夫彭纳语言：如果政策不改变，赤字的泛滥将从今年的一千九百亿美元，增至1989年的三千二百六十亿美元。 总统的幕僚在国会作证时承认，经济处于危险状态。总统的首席经济顾问马丁费尔斯坦，人称政府中的“忧郁博士”，他赞同彭纳提出的告诫：至80年代末，赤字将达到三千亿美元这一幅度。费尔斯坦说，如果出现这一情况，联邦政府的举债将耗去美国人积蓄的75%，产生强大的压力是利率上涨。财政部长唐纳德里甘本来是个乐天派，对费尔斯坦的忧郁观点常持批评态度，可是就连他也承认：“没有正确的财政金融政策，美国可能再度陷入经济衰退。”财政部次长贝利尔斯普林克警告说：如果联邦储备局不加速美国的货币供应量，今年就会出现经济衰退。
