布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 44
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
As soon as possible after reaching the grounds of the Hampton Institute, I presented myself before the head teacher for an assignment to a class. Having been so long without proper food, a bath, and a change of clothing, I did not, of course, make a very favourable impression upon her, and I could see at once that there were doubts in her mind about the wisdom of admitting me as a student. I felt that I could hardly blame her if she got the idea that I was a worthless loafer or tramp. For some time she did not refuse to admit me, neither did she decide in my favour, and I continued to linger about her, and to impress her in all the ways I could with my worthiness. In the meantime I saw her admitting other students, and that added greatly to my discomfort, for I felt, deep down in my heart, that I could do as well as they, if I could only get a chance to show what was in me.

白话
到汉普顿学院后,我尽快去见班主任,请求分班。由于长期缺食、没洗澡、没换衣服,我自然没给她好印象,我看出她怀疑收我是否明智。我觉得若她认为我是流浪汉,也难怪。她既没拒绝也没答应,我就在她身边徘徊,尽力表现自己的价值。同时我看她录取其他学生,心里更不安,因为我深信只要给我机会,我能做得和他们一样好。
