海梅埃斯卡蘭特
海梅埃斯卡蘭特是一位來自玻利維亞的教師。他于1963年來到洛杉磯。那時，他33歲，幾乎一點英語都不會講。
對埃斯卡蘭特來說，在美國的生活是艱苦的。在加利福尼亞他不能做老師，他不得不再次去讀大學。這花了他許多年，但他堅持下來了。為了在學習的同時養(yǎng)家糊口，他在餐廳打工。最終，在43歲時，他開始在洛杉磯的加菲爾德高中工作。這所學校名聲很壞，有很多小流氓，學生學習也不好。很快，埃斯卡蘭特改變了這一切。
埃斯卡蘭特與他的學生們一起努力。他教他們數(shù)學，他用他自己的方法，這些方法很靈。學生們很喜歡學習數(shù)學。1982年，他學生中的十四位通過了高等數(shù)學的考試。沒有人相信這一切。人們說這些學生一定作弊了。學生們要證明自己沒有作弊，他們又重新參加了考試，他們又通過了。這樣的事在像加菲爾德這樣的學校簡直是奇跡！這些都是海梅埃斯卡蘭特的功勞。
每年埃斯卡蘭特都培養(yǎng)出頂尖的學生。人們把他當作美國最好的老師之一，甚至有一部電影和一本書講述了埃斯卡蘭特的故事。

15 A Man of Word and Not Deeds
A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds.
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It's like a garden full of sonw.
And when the snow begins to fall,
It's like a bird upon the wall.
And when the bird away does fly,
It's like an eagle in the sky.
And when the sky begins to roar,
It's like a lion at the door.
And when the door begins to crack,
It's like a stick across your back,
And when your back begins to smart,
It's like a penknife in your heart.
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed.
deed 行為
weed 雜草
eagle 鷹
crack 爆裂，破裂
smart 刺痛
penknife 鉛筆刀
bleed 流血
一個只說不做的人
一個只說不做的人，
就像是長滿雜草的花園。
當雜草開始生長，
它就像是個被雪覆蓋的花園。
當雪花開始紛飛，
它就像一只墻上的鳥。
當鳥飛走了，
它就像天空中的鷹。
當天空開始咆哮，
它就像門口的獅子。
當門開始破裂，
它就像橫穿你脊背的木棍。
當你的背開始刺痛，
它就像刺入你心中的鉛筆刀。
當你的心開始流血，
你就真正地死亡，死亡，死亡。
Learning English in a New Environment
I was a little shy about talking to people when I first arrived in America,but I had a strong desire to broaden my horizons and meet new people.Once I gathered the courage to start conversations with people,I found how easy it was to make new friends.
Every day,I heard enough new English expressions to make my head spin.I found that when I was honest and asked about the meanings of unfamiliar expressions ,Americans were very helpful and took pains to explain them to me ．
Native speakers of English tend to speak very fast,and at first I was just stunned and looked at them with a dazed expression on my face.I solved that problem by asking people to speak more slowly ．
broaden 開闊，拓寬
horizon 眼界，視野
courage 勇氣
spin 暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向
take pains to explain 煞費苦心地解釋
tend to speak 傾向于說
stunned 驚愕地
dazed 茫然地
在新的環(huán)境中學習英語
第一次到美國，與人說話時我總有些害羞，但是我非�？释軌蜷_闊視野，結(jié)識新朋友。當我鼓起勇氣開始與人交談，我發(fā)現(xiàn)原來結(jié)交新朋友是多么容易的事啊。
每天耳邊出現(xiàn)的繁多的新英語表達法把我弄得暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向。我發(fā)現(xiàn)當我誠實地向美國人詢問那些不熟悉的說法的意思時，他們非常樂于助人，并煞費苦心地向我解釋。
以英語為母語的人說話一般很快，一開始我只能驚愕地一臉茫然地看著他們。我讓他們說得慢一些，這樣我就解決了這個問題。
