　　精品閱讀：一份特別的新年禮物

　　導讀：或許我們的意識里有太多“理所當然”，因此我們極少對父母說“感謝你們”，對老師說“多謝栽培”，對保潔的叔叔阿姨道一句“辛苦了”……我們的幸福離不開他們的堅守崗位，一句“謝謝”，一句“您辛苦了”也許不能為他們帶來多大的財富，卻是對其工作的最大鼓勵和支持。從今天起，為每一個堅守著崗位和本分的人送去一聲理解的祝福吧!

　　It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. What luck! I started by thinking of getting the bank work out of the way. The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a white beard, was, as usual, curt to my polite "Happy New Year." He nodded and I sat in front of him.

　　那天是1月1日，新年的第一天，也是我的假日。真幸運!我開始盤算到銀行去把工作辦妥。給我辦理業(yè)務(wù)的銀行職員是一位老先生，留著一捋白胡子。他像平常一樣簡潔地回應(yīng)我那句禮貌的“新年快樂”。他對我點點頭，我便坐到他面前。

　　Minutes passed and nothing happened.

　　幾分鐘過去了，什么事情也沒發(fā)生。

　　Then very hesitantly I put my form and booklet in front of him. He was busy filling up entries in his register. After a few minutes he took my form and from his cabinet he took out a very thick file from which he started filling in my details. I sat there wondering why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms and registers.

　　然后，我萬分猶豫地把自己的表格和小冊子放到他面前。他正忙著往登記簿里錄入條目。過了幾分鐘，他拿起我的表格，從文件柜里抽出一本厚厚的檔案文件，開始登記我的信息。我坐在那里，不禁疑惑既然我們要人工填寫表格和登記簿，那還要電腦化的銀行業(yè)務(wù)來干嘛呢。

　　After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I uttered the words, I felt as if a bombshell had fallen on him. He shouted, "Nothing is done, it will take time!"

　　在繼續(xù)等待的幾分鐘里，我表現(xiàn)出各種不耐煩的小動作。我問他我的業(yè)務(wù)是否辦理好了。就在我說話的那一刻，我覺得那像一顆炸彈落在他的身上。他大聲吼道：“全都沒辦好，這需要時間!”

　　Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done. We do not even feel the need to thank them for being there. He must be feeling so agitated that "here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first."

　　就在那個時候，我發(fā)現(xiàn)在剛剛過去的十分鐘里，他那杯早晨熱茶一直放著，一口都沒喝。這杯茶在他工作時幾乎涼掉了。突然之間，我明白了，當遇到像我這樣總是急著想把業(yè)務(wù)辦完的顧客時，這位在銀行的這個窗口里干了不知道多少年的人會有怎樣的感受。我們從未想過要感謝他們一直堅守崗位。他一定會很激動地想：“這次又是一個催著我快點幫他辦事的家伙?！?/p>
