：第一份工作
Todd: OK, Charlotte. You've been a teacher for quite a while.
好的，夏洛特。你做老师做了很久了。
Charlotte: Yeah, I started about three years ago, and my first job was in Jessif, in the east of Poland. I was promised that I wasn't going to have to teach any beginners, or any little children because it was my first job, and I was promptlygiven the beginner infants. My first day of teaching I was given a book which said, "Ah! Go into the classroom and say 'Hello' to the children, and they'll all say, 'Hello' back to you and wave". I walked into a class of five four-year olds, followed by all their mothers, and grandmothers, and I said, "Hello" and they all burst into tears. I spent half the lesson trying to get them to say,"Hello" to each other and stop them from crying while all the grandmothers stood around and stared at me. I finally finished off my singing the, whatever, Happy Princess Song, all on my own, with crying infants toacpany me. It was one of the worst days of my life. I could identify with all the children though, cause I wanted to sit on the floor and cry with them by the end of it. I think that that was when I realized that teaching kids was never going to be my vocation. I had some other classes as well but quit soon after that and moved onto *** s who cry slightly less. Um, yeah, that was my first teaching experience. Not the best.
是的，我三年前开始当老师，我的第一份工作在波兰东部的Jessif。因为这是我的第一份工作，校方向我保证不会让我去教初学者，或者小孩，结果我我被分到了启蒙班。我工作的第一天就领到了一本书，上面写着“啊!走进教室对孩子们说‘你好’，他们会边摇手边和你说‘你好’”。我走进坐满4，5岁孩子的教室，他们的母亲和祖母就在孩子的身边，我说“你们好”，结果他们集体爆发出了哭声。我花了半节课的时间试图不让他们哭，还一个一个地教他们说“你好”，所有的祖母都站在我的周围盯着我。课程的最后，伴随着哭声，我自己一个人唱完一首快乐王子歌。那是我人生最糟糕的一天。尽管如此，我还是能认出所有孩子的脸，因为最后我想坐在地板上和他们一起哭。正是在那个时候我意识到，教小孩永远都不会成为我的事业。虽然我还教他们一些别的课，但这之后我马上转到了成人班，至少成人不怎么哭。是的这就是我初次教课的经验，不是很好。
