上周去艾倫學(xué)校開(kāi)家長(zhǎng)會(huì)母怜。他們的家長(zhǎng)會(huì)很有意思，分給每一個(gè)學(xué)生十五分鐘時(shí)間缚柏，和老師苹熏、學(xué)生、家長(zhǎng)舉行一個(gè)“三邊會(huì)議”船惨。在這十五分鐘里柜裸，老師會(huì)讓學(xué)生總結(jié)這半期以來(lái)針對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)程所得到的感受，好壞都可以講粱锐。學(xué)生說(shuō)完了以后，家長(zhǎng)提問(wèn)扛邑，老師總結(jié)怜浅。十五分鐘很快過(guò)去。這一次也和上一次差不多蔬崩，艾倫的文學(xué)老師讓我看艾倫寫(xiě)的文章恶座。科學(xué)老師讓我繼續(xù)鼓勵(lì)兒子的創(chuàng)造力沥阳，并強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間管理的重要性跨琳。兩個(gè)老師都對(duì)艾倫充滿鼓勵(lì)和贊許。
家長(zhǎng)會(huì)開(kāi)完沒(méi)過(guò)幾天我收到語(yǔ)文老師的一封郵件桐罕，郵件里特意感謝艾倫給學(xué)校制作的關(guān)于一場(chǎng)老師對(duì)學(xué)生的排球賽現(xiàn)場(chǎng)報(bào)道的視頻脉让。老師說(shuō)艾倫對(duì)八年級(jí)社區(qū)做出了貢獻(xiàn)，謝謝家長(zhǎng)讓他在他們學(xué)校讀書(shū)（聽(tīng)了有些小激動(dòng)功炮，艾倫爸爸寫(xiě)了一封很長(zhǎng)很感人的感謝信）溅潜。老師又提到了兒子寫(xiě)的文章，并發(fā)給我一篇做為例子薪伏。我把它翻譯了滚澜，和大家分享。
艾倫這篇文章講的是“堅(jiān)韌”嫁怀。原來(lái)這是他們這半期學(xué)習(xí)的主題思想设捐。學(xué)校老師就“堅(jiān)韌”這兩字進(jìn)行考核，并讓學(xué)生自省塘淑，因而有這篇隨筆萝招。我是個(gè)粗線條完全散養(yǎng)的媽?zhuān)瑑鹤釉趯W(xué)校干什么，學(xué)什么朴爬，我基本上都是后知后覺(jué)的即寒。我對(duì)他現(xiàn)在用得最多也是鼓勵(lì)和贊賞（帶賞的，哈哈，我給他很大的自主權(quán)母赵，包括財(cái)務(wù)上的自主權(quán)）逸爵。
早就聽(tīng)說(shuō)美國(guó)教育現(xiàn)在最強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)“堅(jiān)韌”的品性的培養(yǎng)，果然如此凹嘲。我看了汗顏师倔。而且發(fā)現(xiàn)兒子的文章用了很多生詞，我不但需要查字典周蹭，還得來(lái)回琢磨他的意思趋艘。他那英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)的優(yōu)勢(shì)已經(jīng)日漸明顯。不努力凶朗，我肯定會(huì)被淘汰瓷胧。因此，也以“堅(jiān)韌”自勉棚愤。
Grit Essay 堅(jiān)韌隨筆
Alan Deutsch 4.17.17. 狄艾倫搓萧，17年4月17日
Grit, the reason why you and I are standing where we are today. The reason why I choose to learn; not to do the multi-fold of various other options instead. The reason why I will or will not have a successful future. All trace back to… Grit.
堅(jiān)韌，你和我今天能屹立于此的原因宛畦。我之所以選擇學(xué)習(xí)的原因; 而不是去選擇其它種種瘸洛。我會(huì)不會(huì)擁有一個(gè)成功的未來(lái)的原因。全都追溯到......堅(jiān)韌次和。
Being drilled constantly on how essential Grit is in basically everything, I can safely conclude that passion, perseverance, and spirit are the tools needed to maintain a happy and successful life. Consequently, as a decent 4 on the GRIT scale, I consider myself to be full of Grit–pushing myself to new limits is what I take pride in. Contrasting, I have hundreds of habits and bad-doings that need reworkings. And in order to perform these reworkings, I must be aware that Grit is segregated not only to Academics and such, but is instead very much diametric. Accordingly, in order to look deeper into the very essence of GRIT, I am encouraged to be more distinct in my study of it.
關(guān)于“堅(jiān)韌”基本上是任何事物的根本反肋，在這一點(diǎn)上經(jīng)過(guò)不斷地“拷打”后，我可以放心地?cái)喽? 激情踏施、毅力和精神是維系幸福和成功生活所需的必要工具石蔗。因此, 做為一個(gè)在“堅(jiān)韌”坐標(biāo)上得了一個(gè)體面的四分的人， 我認(rèn)為自己是充滿堅(jiān)韌的特性的 - 不斷挑戰(zhàn)自己的極限是我可以引以自豪的读规。對(duì)比之下抓督，我又有數(shù)以百計(jì)的習(xí)慣和壞行為, 需要改正。為了執(zhí)行這些改正, 我必須意識(shí)到束亏，堅(jiān)韌不是只屬于學(xué)習(xí)以及和學(xué)習(xí)相關(guān)的事情的铃在，而是完全相反。相應(yīng)地, 為了更深入地探究堅(jiān)韌的精髓, 我被鼓勵(lì)在研究它的時(shí)候更加深刻鮮明碍遍。
Academics: I began with this topic as it is very vital to my success here at Concordia, and it shows in the amount of GRIT I distribute into this part of school. Furthermore, I take pride in my good grades, succumbing to the bad ones. And although I strive to make my grades the best they can be, they are more of a motivator than anything. It reminds me of the famous quote: “A life without challenge is a life not worth living.” Additionally, there is no such thing as a bad mistake–getting notified for a less than 70% grade encourages me to never let that happen again.
學(xué)習(xí): 我從這個(gè)主題開(kāi)始, 因?yàn)樗鼘?duì)我在協(xié)和學(xué)校的成功是非常重要的, 而這一點(diǎn)也顯示在我在學(xué)校分配到學(xué)習(xí)上的“堅(jiān)韌”的份量定铜。此外, 我為我的好成績(jī)感到驕傲, 對(duì)壞的成績(jī)屈服。雖然我努力使我的成績(jī)達(dá)到極盡可能的最好, 但成績(jī)只是一個(gè)驅(qū)動(dòng)力而不代表其它什么怕敬。這讓我想起一句名言: "一個(gè)沒(méi)有挑戰(zhàn)的人生是不值得活的揣炕。" 另外, 也不存在叫做“壞的錯(cuò)誤”的東西 - 每一次得70分以下的通知都鼓勵(lì)我永遠(yuǎn)不要再讓這種情況再次發(fā)生。（譯者注：對(duì)每一個(gè)70分以下的成績(jī)东跪，艾倫學(xué)校都會(huì)發(fā)出郵件通知家長(zhǎng)畸陡。每次看了鹰溜，除非短期連續(xù)看到幾次，我基本都不吭聲丁恭。艾倫這句話的意思是犯錯(cuò)也是好事曹动，因?yàn)榭梢约?lì)他。）
I consider myself to be self-aware of my grades, and if needed, I will increase my work ethic. But the challenges I encounter along the way... are the best part.
我認(rèn)為自己對(duì)自己的分?jǐn)?shù)是有自我意識(shí)的牲览。如果必要的話, 我會(huì)提升我的工作操守墓陈。但我在這過(guò)程中遇到的種種挑戰(zhàn)......才是最精彩的部分。
Sports: As well as smarts, sports take a colossal role in who I am. In fact, sports epitomize my motivation. But I have to thank my close others for swaying me to try basketball. The friends I see during practice and recess is one of the main reasons I pursued basketball at a deeper level. For example: I'm currently enlisted in the basketball CCA program here at Concordia and I am definitely not anywhere near the star of my team. However, I noticed a few minor tendencies that have developed a major role, such as staying at practice even after everyone had already left. Likewise, I'm aware of the steps needed to improve, and it gives me the strength to do better whether it's sports or other subjects.
體育運(yùn)動(dòng): 和（書(shū)本上所學(xué)的）智慧一樣, 體育運(yùn)動(dòng)在我是誰(shuí)這一點(diǎn)上也扮演著巨大的角色第献。事實(shí)上, 體育運(yùn)動(dòng)是我所有動(dòng)力的縮影贡必。但我必須感謝我的親密的朋友們鼓勵(lì)我嘗試打籃球。我在練習(xí)和休息期間看到的朋友是我正在更深一層追求籃球的主要原因之一庸毫。例如: 我現(xiàn)在參加了協(xié)和學(xué)校的籃球校隊(duì)仔拟，雖然我絕對(duì)離我們球隊(duì)明星球員的水平差遠(yuǎn)了。然而, 我注意到自己一些小的傾向, 而這些小的傾向已經(jīng)發(fā)展為主要作用, 譬如飒赃，即使每個(gè)人都已經(jīng)走了理逊，我還會(huì)留下來(lái)繼續(xù)練習(xí)。同樣, 我知道自己需要改進(jìn)的步驟, 這給我力量盒揉，無(wú)論是體育運(yùn)動(dòng)還是其它科目，我都可以做得更好兑徘。
Social: My friends and family are the main reasons why I will never drop out of school. Sure school is an “enriching” place to learn and grow, but that's only part of the whole. Moreover, sports also has a place in my sociality. Because of the lessons learned from sports: teamwork, cooperation, and sacrifice, I am now exuberating confidence in all of those fields.
社會(huì): 我的朋友和家人是我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)輟學(xué)的主要原因刚盈。當(dāng)然, 學(xué)校是一個(gè) "令人充實(shí)" 的學(xué)習(xí)和成長(zhǎng)的地方, 但那只是整體的一部分。同時(shí), 體育運(yùn)動(dòng)在我的社交中也有一席之地挂脑。由于體育運(yùn)動(dòng)中得到的經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn): 團(tuán)隊(duì)合作藕漱、協(xié)作和犧牲, 我現(xiàn)在對(duì)所有這些領(lǐng)域充滿信心。
When I choose a school, the community of it plays almost an even larger role than its teaching reputation–I could never do homeschooling just because I would have no friends to do it with. The friends I see every morning during Homeroom is what drags me out of bed. Therefore, a good school is so much more than a learning environment, but instead a place where not only one's IQ, but EQ is developed as well. Both are essential to the very core of GRIT, and through learning both academics and sociology, one is bound to be successful.
當(dāng)我選擇一所學(xué)校時(shí), 這個(gè)學(xué)校的社區(qū)幾乎比它的教學(xué)聲譽(yù)還更重要崭闲。我不可能選擇在家自學(xué)肋联，（譯者注：美國(guó)有不少家長(zhǎng)選擇讓孩子們通過(guò)請(qǐng)家教完成學(xué)業(yè)）因?yàn)槲視?huì)沒(méi)有朋友和我一起去做這件事情。每天早晨刁俭，是我的“班級(jí)教室”里的那幫朋友把我“拖”下床的橄仍。因此, 一所好的學(xué)校不僅僅是一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境, 而是一個(gè)人不但是智商, 還有情商也得到發(fā)展的地方棕洋。兩者都是必不可少的堅(jiān)韌的核心法褥，再加上通過(guò)不斷地學(xué)習(xí)學(xué)術(shù)和社會(huì)的知識(shí), 一個(gè)人注定要成功粥谬。
In conclusion: my considered academic, emotional, physical, and social success is built by every major and minor event occurred since my birth. I have encountered many of challenges along the road, but learning from my mistakes and reincarnating them into learning is what I do best; I intend to keep it that way.
總之: 我那些被認(rèn)為在學(xué)術(shù)脓魏、情感瘪阁、身體和社會(huì)上的小成績(jī)都是由我出生以來(lái)發(fā)生的每一個(gè)重大事件和次要事件打造而成操禀。我一路上遇到了許多挑戰(zhàn), 但是隧枫，從我的錯(cuò)誤中吸取教訓(xùn), 再把它們化身為知識(shí)纬乍，這是我所擅長(zhǎng)的第晰。我打算堅(jiān)持這么做下去锁孟。

如果喜歡彬祖，歡迎點(diǎn)擊閱讀狄艾倫的其它文章，包括他自己寫(xiě)的簡(jiǎn)介品抽。
另外储笑，這里是艾倫獨(dú)立制作和敘述的一個(gè)關(guān)于二戰(zhàn)期間人道主義者拯救猶太人的歷史紀(jì)錄片。歡迎點(diǎn)擊和傳播桑包。
該片由十三歲的Alan獨(dú)立解說(shuō)和制作南蓬，描述了關(guān)于二戰(zhàn)期間包括中國(guó)外交官何鳳山（湖南益陽(yáng)人）在內(nèi)的人道主義者拯救猶太人的故事。我一直思考這個(gè)問(wèn)題：猶太人為什么厲害哑了？一是他們擅長(zhǎng)學(xué)習(xí)赘方，超級(jí)勤奮；二是他們一邊賺錢(qián)一邊還不忘使命弱左，特別抱團(tuán)且有滿滿的民族使命感窄陡。我兒子是半個(gè)猶太人，哪怕在上海拆火，談話對(duì)方如果是猶太人跳夭，我一提我兒子是猶太人，他們馬上會(huì)有想要保護(hù)他的情節(jié)（感覺(jué)孩子是他們民族的们镜，不培養(yǎng)可惜）币叹。猶太人賺了錢(qián)，馬上就去搞個(gè)關(guān)于二戰(zhàn)猶太人集中營(yíng)的博物館（全世界各大城市都有模狭，我起碼去參觀過(guò)三個(gè)颈抚；我們的南京大屠殺博物館只在自己家里有，有好事者要把它建到國(guó)外去嗎嚼鹉？建到國(guó)外才能讓世人知道胺泛骸！）锚赤；猶太人如果不建二戰(zhàn)博物館匹舞，他們就會(huì)拍個(gè)關(guān)于猶太人受難的電影（數(shù)不勝數(shù)！好萊塢基本受控于猶太人）线脚〈突總之，猶太人不但勤奮酒贬，而且每個(gè)人都有根深蒂固又憨、并付諸于行動(dòng)的民族使命感。
