隨著年齡的增長, 常常會想起曾經施教過我的老師們.
嚴格說來,父親應該算是我的英文啟蒙老師. 隻是我從來沒有用心聽從他的教導過.
正試從學校接受英文教育,是在我小學二年級的時候. 當時就讀的小學屬於英文試點學校. 還記得英文老師是一位曹姓女教師. 曹老師個子矮小,大約五十開外,帶著一副眼鏡,斯斯文文的, 好象身體不太好,臉色黃黃的。曹老師教學認真。即使是調皮的學生,她也是一遍又一遍的不厭其煩施教。對曹老師印象最深的是教唱英文歌。每當唱英文歌時,課堂裏便亂哄哄的,曹老師那氣若遊絲的聲音抵不過學生們的唧唧喳喳聲,她隻得拿著教鞭敲打黑板讓大家安靜。曾聽教畫圖的老師提起,其實曹老師身體很不好,經常抱病授課。每每想到此,真想和她說聲對不起。隻是已不知曹老師今在何方?
考高中時,進了我初中同一間學校,教英文的是一位男老師:謝先生。謝先生也是畢業於聖約翰大學,個性儒雅,寫得一手非常漂亮的英文黑板字,唯教學風格比較刻板枯躁。 不知為什麽,我總感到謝先生有點唯唯諾諾的。他在教我班英文的同時,還兼作副班主任。遇到同學之間有爭執,謝先生會拿出他的餅幹桶,請大家隨意拿,來息事寧人。那時班上有一位高幹子弟,非常傲慢,常常不將老師放在眼中。有一次謝先生實在氣不過,大為光火:“我希望你將來不要作造糞機器!“。 從此之後,謝先生就得了一個“造糞機器“的綽號。謝先生有一位漂亮的太太,曾經是聖約翰大學某係的係花。後來來美探親, 居美不回,並提出離婚,他的兩個兒子也不在身邊。可憐的謝先生,在作祖父的年齡,落得個妻離子散的境況。
我曾經的英文老師們,雖時隔已久,但心中常常想起他們,默默祝福每一位。。。
注: 在結束此文的時候,與父親相處的點點滴滴再次湧上心頭。
“You Are My Sunshine" 是父親教我的第一首英文歌曲。在此用作背景音樂。
You Are My Sunshine
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
世界之小啊!
謝先生的課沒上過。但看上去是個好好先生。
謝謝. 你的片頭照很明亮.
