Shewasonlyaboutfivefeettallandprobablyneverweighedmorethan110pounds,butMissBessiewasa... She was only about five feet tall and probably never weighed more than 110 pounds, but Miss Bessie was a towering presence in the classroom. She was the only woman tough enough to make me read Beowulf and think for a few stupid days that I liked it. From 1938 to 1942, she taught me English, history — and a lot more than I realized.
I shall never forget the day she scolded (批评) me into reading Beowulf. “But Miss Bessie,” I complained, “I ain’t much interested in it.”
Her large brown eyes became sharp. “Boy,” she said, “how dare you say ‘ain’t’ to me! I’ve taught you better than that.”
“Miss Bessie,” I said, “I’m trying to join the football team, and if I go around saying ‘it isn’t’ and ‘they aren’t,’ the guys are gonna laugh me off the team.”
“Boy,” she replied, “you’ll play football because you have guts (勇气). But do you know what really takes guts? Refusing to lower your standards to those of the crowd. It takes guts to say you’ve got to live and be somebody fifty years after all the football games are over.”
I started saying “it isn’t” and “they aren’t,” and I still joined the team without losing my friends’ respect.
Negroes, as we were called then, were not allowed in the town library, except to sweep floors or clean tables. But with the help of some nice whites, Miss Bessie kept getting books out of the white library. That is how she introduced me to the Brontës, Byron and Keats. “If you don’t read, you can’t write, and if you can’t write, you might as well stop dreaming,” Miss Bessie once told me.
So I read whatever Miss Bessie told me to, and tried to remember the things she insisted that I store away. It could be embarrassing to be unprepared when Miss Bessie said, “Get up and tell the class who Frances Perkins is and what you think about her.” Forty-five years later, I can still recite her “truths to live by”.
Miss Bessie noticed things that had nothing to do with schoolwork, but were essential to a youngster’s development. Once a few classmates made fun of my worn-out hand-me-down overcoat. As I was leaving school, Miss Bessie patted me on the back of that old overcoat and said, “Carl, never worry about what you don’t have. Just make the most of what you do have — a brain.”
No child can get all the necessary support at home, and millions of poor children get no support at all. This is what makes a wise, educated, warm-hearted teacher like Miss Bessie so essential to the minds, hearts and souls of this country’s children.

她只有五英尺高,可能从来没有重量超过110磅,但错过贝西是一座高耸的出现在教室里。她是唯一一个足够强硬,能够使我读贝奥武夫和思考的一些愚蠢的时候,我喜欢它。从1938年到1942年,她教我英语,历史,并且比我多意识到。
我永远不会忘记这一天她责骂(批评)我阅读《贝奥武夫》。“但是贝茜小姐,”我抱怨道,“我不是非常感兴趣。”
她的褐色的大眼睛变得尖锐。“孩子,”她说,“你怎么敢说‘我不会’我!我教会了你比那更好。”
“贝茜小姐,”我说,“我想加入足球队,如果我到处说“这不是”和“他们没有,”男人都要笑我离开团队。”
“孩子,”她回答说,“你会踢足球,因为你有勇气(勇气)。但你知道什么是真的需要勇气吗?拒绝降低你的标准,这些人群的。这需要勇气说你有生活和有人50年之后所有的足球比赛结束了。”
我开始说“不是”,“他们没有,”和我还加入了这个团队没有失去我的朋友的尊重。
黑人,因为我们被称为然后,不被允许在城市的图书馆,除了扫地或干净的餐桌。但有一些不错的白人的帮助下,贝茜小姐一直出来的书白色的图书馆。这是她把我介绍给了勃朗特姐妹,拜伦和济慈。“如果你不仔细看,你不能写,如果你不能写,你不妨停止梦想,”贝茜小姐曾经告诉我。
所以我看什么贝茜小姐告诉我,并试图记住事情她坚持要我储存了起来。它可能是令人尴尬的准备当贝茜小姐说,“起来告诉全班弗朗西斯珀金斯谁是什么,以及你想她的。“45年后,我仍然可以背诵她“真理的生活。
贝茜小姐注意到的事情,什么也没做作业,但却至关重要的年轻人的发展。一旦一些同学取笑我的破损的旧外套。在我离开学校,贝茜小姐轻拍我的背的旧大衣,说:“卡尔,从不担心自己没有的东西。只会让大部分你所拥有的- - -一个大脑”。
没有孩子可以得到所有必要的支持后,和数百万贫穷的孩子得到任何支持。这是什么使一个明智的、受过教育的、热心的老师喜欢贝茜小姐这么重要的思想,心灵和灵魂的这个国家的孩子。
