| A gray sweater hung limply on Tommy's empty desk, a reminder of the dejected boy who had just followed his classmates from our third-grade room. Soon Tommy's parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and disruptive beha Tommy, an on Tommy's mother entered and took on As I gave a detailed account of Tommy's beha I found a crumpled tear-stained sheet stuffed in the back of his desk, an English paper. Writing covered both sides-not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled over and over. Silently I smoothed it out and gave it to Tommy's mother. She read it and then without a word handed it to her husband. He frowned. Then his face softened. He studied the scrawled words for what seemed an eternity. At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife's outstretched hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. My own eyes were brimming, but neither seemed to notice. He helped her with her coat and they left together. In a way I could not fully understand I got the words to reunite that family. I was guided to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the anguished outpouring of a small boy's troubled heart. The words, "Dear Mom...Dear Daddy... I love you...I love you... I love you." I could hardly describe my feelings at that moment, but I finally understood that it is love that makes the world go around. | |

| 一件灰色套衫搭在湯米的空桌上，讓人想起這個(gè)情緒低落的男孩，他剛隨同學(xué)從三年級教室出去。湯米最近分居的父母馬上就要來(lái)學(xué)校，討論他每況愈下的學(xué)習成績(jì)和搗蛋行為。父母雙方都不知道對方要來(lái)? 湯米是個(gè)獨子，一直生活幸福，樂(lè )意合作，而且是個(gè)出色的學(xué)童。我怎能使他的父母相信他近來(lái)學(xué)習成績(jì)下降是一個(gè)心碎的孩子對他敬愛(ài)的父母分居和即將離異的反應呢? 湯米的母親進(jìn)屋后坐在我放在我桌旁的其中一把椅子上。不一會(huì )兒他的父親也來(lái)了。不錯！至少他們還夠關(guān)心他，能準時(shí)來(lái)校?他們之間交換了一下驚奇和氣惱的眼色，然后明顯流露出無(wú)視對方的神色。 我詳細敘述湯米的表現和學(xué)習情況,苦苦尋求恰當的詞語(yǔ)以圖把他們倆撮合在一起,幫助他們認識到他們的所作所為給孩子造成的后果。但是不知怎么的就是找不到適當的話(huà)?；蛟S如果他們看看湯米的一張臟污漫不經(jīng)心寫(xiě)的作業(yè)… 我在他桌子深處找到一張皺巴巴的滿(mǎn)是淚跡的紙。那是張英語(yǔ)作業(yè)紙，正反兩面潦潦草草地寫(xiě)滿(mǎn)了字，但不是布置的作業(yè),而是翻來(lái)覆去的一句話(huà)。 我默默地把它捋平，遞給了湯米的母親。她看完后沒(méi)吭一聲給了她丈夫。他先是皺著(zhù)眉,而后臉色變溫和了。他仔細盯著(zhù)潦草的字看了似乎無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的一段時(shí)間。 最后，他小心翼翼地折起紙，把它放進(jìn)口袋里，手伸向他妻子伸出的手。她擦去眼里的淚水，抬頭朝她的丈夫露出笑容。我也熱淚盈眶，但是他們倆誰(shuí)也沒(méi)注意到湯米的父親幫妻子穿上大衣，然后倆人一起走了出去。 通過(guò)一種我自己也不能完全理解的方式，我得到了使這一家破鏡重圓的詞語(yǔ)，它把我引向了那張滿(mǎn)是一個(gè)小男孩苦惱心情的痛苦傾訴的黃色作業(yè)紙。那張紙上寫(xiě)著(zhù)："親愛(ài)的媽媽… 親愛(ài)的爸爸… 我愛(ài)你們… 我愛(ài)你們… 我愛(ài)你們！" 我無(wú)法形容自己當時(shí)的感受，但是我終于明白了，是愛(ài)讓這個(gè)世界轉動(dòng)。 | |
