【譯文欣賞】

做人的必備技能

不管是天性使然還是后天教化，總之我成長為了一個有點疏離的人。這種疏離感對于從事新聞工作是

有利的，但是在表達情感或收獲幸福的層面，則相反。事實上，我是個經驗豐富的“逃避大師”。如果你

對我展現出卸下防備的親密行為，我就會用力地盯著你的鞋子，然后找個和干洗店有約的借口逃之夭夭。

不過，生活總有辦法讓你變得溫柔。我雖然不算是個杰出的人，但我會讓自己不斷成長。

一路走來，我學到了一些深刻的東西。要成為一個完整、善良、明智的人，敞開心扉是先決條件。但

僅僅這樣是不夠的。人們需要社交技能：對他人感到好奇；在不損害關系的情況下表達異議；在恰當的時

間展示自己的弱點；做一個好的傾聽者；知道如何請求或給予原諒；能組織一個讓所有人都能融入其中的

聚會；懂得站在他人的角度看待問題。

在任何一個群體中，都會有“貶低者”和“啟迪者”這兩種人。貶低者太過關注自己；他們讓別人感

到渺小。他們會依靠刻板印象將他人標簽化。如果他們了解了你的一件事，就會轉而對你是怎樣的人作出

一系列假設。

相反，啟迪者則對別人有著持久的好奇心。他們學習過或自學過理解他人的技巧。他們知道如何在恰

當的時間問出恰當的問題，這樣至少在一定程度上，可以從別人的角度看待事物。啟迪者用充滿關懷的光

芒照亮他人，使他人感到自己更重要、受尊重、光芒四射。

一個散發溫暖的人會讓他遇見的人煥發光彩，而一個喜歡“端著”的人與同一批人相遇，則會覺得對

方生硬冷漠。精神科醫生伊恩?麥吉爾克里斯特(lainMcGilchrist)寫道：“關心是一種道德行為：它具有

創造性，能夠使事物的各個方面得以展現。”

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇應用文。本文主要介紹了適合兒童和青少年的志愿活動，包括在動物收容所

志愿服務、輔導低年級學生、參與青少年體育運動以及參與社區服務項目等。

1.細節理解題。根據Animalsheltervolunteering部分中“Usually,aslongasthechildhassigned

permissionfromtheirparentsorguardian,theycanvolunteerasyoungas14,evenyoungeriftheirparentsbring

themandsupervisetheirvolunteertime.（通常，只要孩子得到父母或監護人的同意，他們就可以在14歲時做

志愿者，如果父母帶他們來并監督他們的志愿者時間，他們甚至可以更小。）”可知，只要孩子有家長或監護

人的簽名同意，他們甚至可以從14歲開始志愿服務，如果家長陪同并監督，年齡可以更小。因此，在動物

收容所志愿服務是適合14歲以下孩子的志愿活動。故選D。

2.細節理解題。根據Youthsports部分中“Mostyouthsportsneedteenagevolunteerstobeanassistant

coachorareferee.（大多數青少年運動都需要青少年志愿者擔任助理教練或裁判。廣可知，青少年在體育活動

中可以擔任助理教練或裁判。因此，他們可以給裁判員提供幫助。故選B。

3.推理判斷題。根據本篇文章標題“VolunteerOpportunitiesforKids（兒童義工機會）“可知，本文主要

介紹了適合兒童和青少年的志愿活動，包括在動物收容所志愿服務、輔導低年級學生、參與青少年體育運

動以及參與社區服務項目等。因此，全文都在介紹適合孩子參與的志愿活動，并提供了如何聯系相關機構

的具體信息。因此，這篇文章是為了指導孩子的父母如何找到適合孩子參與的志愿活動。故文章的對象為“孩

子的父母”。故選A。
