I work as a volunteer（志愿者）for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to __(1)__ him.
Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and __(2)__. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too __(3)__ for a 17-year-old. Then, on day three, as we were __(4)__ over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned（咧嘴笑）,“Pretty hard.”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes __(5)__ large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized（着迷）. He couldn't stop __(6)__. Later he said __(7)__,“I wish I could speak French.” was __(8)__ --this from a boy who hated and __(9)__ French classes throughout school.
Usually silent, he __(10)__ Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He blossomed（活泼起来）.
__(11)__, the moment that really took __(12)__ breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was __(13)__ a woman villager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in __(14)__ Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and __(15)__ to become part of the leadership of the __(16)__.
Learning her story, Barrett was as __(17)__ as I by this tiny woman's achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a __(18)__ of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay __(19)__ as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This __(20)__ achieved all I'd expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday. He'll be a man.

(1) 由文章第二段可知这次旅行是艰苦的，“我”带儿子前往 Haiti 的目的当然是为了“教育”他，而非 comfort 或 please him 。(2)rough “崎岖的，（环境、条件等）艰苦的”；dangerous“危险的”；troublesome“麻烦的，惹人烦的”；violent“猛烈的，凶猛的”。(3)too much 表示“（对某人是）过分的，难以承受的”。(4)climb over (a mountain/fence) “跨过或翻越（山或篱笆）”。(5)too 修饰形容词或副词，意为“太……”，含有“过分而不恰当”之意，而 very 和so 则无此意。(6) “他总是笑”，表明 Berrett 的心情很好，初步达到了“教育”的目的，也为后文做了铺垫。(7) 由后面的两句话知道，他应是“遗憾地，后悔地”说。(8) 对儿子这一思想认识（学法语）的转变感到“吃惊”。(9)fight against sth. “与某事物搏斗，做抗争”。由前文的 hate 可知，Barrett 对法语课是采取了“抵制”的态度。(10) “他通常沉默寡言”，而现在他“照顾”Gaby 并 kept asking questions，表明 Barrett 的又一变化。(11) 由下文知此处应表转折，however“然而”。(12)take one's breath away “使某人感到吃惊或惊奇”。此处当然是儿子的变化让“我”感到吃惊。(13) “我”为写一篇文章而进行“采访（interview)”。(14) 由下文可知“她个子虽小，但有很强的意志 (will)”。(15)struggle to do “奋斗，拼搏”；hesitate to do“犹豫不决地”。(16) 由上文中的“a woman villager”可知。(17)be touched by ＝be moved by 意为“被……所感动”。(18)combination “结合，混合物”；composition“作品，成分”；connection “联系，关系”；satisfaction“满意，认可”。(19)stay in “待在家里，课后留校”；stay behind“（别人走后）留下不走”；stay out“不回家，避开”；stay away“保持距离”。Barrett 想“留下来”做一名志愿者。(20) 本句意为“此行达到了我期望的目的”。 |
