Deadly Suspect
致命的怀疑
A senior high school
student committed suicide by jumping from the
windows on the fifth
floor. The reason
was stunningly simple: his mother did not trust
him.
一个高三男生自杀了
,
他从
5
楼宿舍的窗户跳了下去
,
原因竟然是因为他母亲对他的怀
疑。
The boy’s father lost his life
during a car crash when he was 4 years
old. Since then, he lived
with his
mother and they had been in good relationship. In
the winter of the year when the tragedy
took place, the school required all
students to live on campus. The boy’s mother
helped him
settle
his
accommodation before she left. When she was about
home, she found that her wallet was lost.
She was hastily calling her son, asking
him whether he had seen it or not. Her son told
her that she
had left the wallet on his
bed when she left. Coincidentally, the boy had no
classes in the afternoon,
so he brought
the wallet back to her mother.
男孩
4
岁的时候
,
父亲就在车祸中丧生了。他和母亲相依为命
,
感情一直很好。那年冬
天
,
学校要求住校
,
母亲在宿舍里替儿子张罗好一切后才离开。快到家的时候
, <
/p>
她发觉自己
的包不见了。急忙打电话问儿子见到她的包没有。儿子
说
,
母亲临走前把包落在了他床上。
他下午刚好没课
,
把包给母亲送过去。
They had agreed to dine in a restaurant
where they would meet. It was very cold that
night.
When the boy hurried to the hall
of the restaurant, his face was red with cold. The
woman took
over the wallet and
carefully examined everything in the wallet to see
whether some money had
been missing or
not when walking into the restaurant with her son.
母子俩约好在一家饭店一起吃晚餐。
寒风里
,
儿子赶到饭店大堂的时候
,
脸被冻得通红。
她接过包
,
扭身带着儿子往里面边走边打开了包
,
然后拿出钱来边走边数。
All
of a sudden, the boy halted his steps and said
coldly to the woman, “Mum, I am so sorry
that I fo
rgot I still have
to study tonight, so I’ve got to go now.” Then,
the boy quickly disappeared
in front of
the woman in the icy night.
儿子突然停住了脚步
,
生硬地说
p>
:
“
妈
,
我才想起来晚上还有自习
,
我得回去
了。
”
说完转
身就消失在风里。
In
the
midnight,
the
woman
received
a
call
from
the
headmaster
of
the
school.
When
she
arrived at the school hastily, she
could only see his son’s lifeless icy
body.
午夜
,
她接到了校长亲自打来的电话。等她匆匆赶到学校的时候
,
看到的却是儿子冰冷
的尸体。
The last page on the boy’s
diary before he committed suicide wrote: “my mum
did not trust
me when I returned the
wallet to her. To my sadness, she examined
everything inside the wallet to
see
whether I had stolen her money! The person who
loved me most and who I loved most did not
trust me! I really could not figure out
any sense of living in this world now!”
男孩自杀前的最后一页日记上这样写着
“妈妈竟然在我把包送过去之后
:
,
看了看里面的
卡
,
还数了数里面的钱
,
她竟然不相信我
!
世界上最疼我的人、
我最爱的妈妈竟
然都不相信我
!
我真不知道活在这个世界上还有什么意思
!
”
Here I
am not focusing on the tragedy itself but on the
lessons we should learn from it. The
boy’s mother’s one casual motion had
tremendously hurt her son’s
frail heart
unwittingly, making
his inner mental
world collapse in a second! Actually in our lives,
we have too many unwitting
motions that
become a great blow to the hearts of those who
love us or who we love.
我无意再评说男孩的自杀
,
我要说的
是男孩的自杀带给我们的思考和警示。
男孩的母亲
一个无意的举
动
,
竟然在不知不觉间伤害了儿子脆弱的心灵
,
让他脆弱的内心世界轰然崩溃
!
生活中
,
我们有太多无心、无觉的习惯
,
但对于深爱着我们或者我们深爱的人来说
,
< br>一个看
似无心的举动却可能让他们内心爱的世界无声地坍塌。
We
often
consciously
or
unconsciously
practice
a
skeptical
attitude
towards
ourselves
or
others. Self-skepticism is the symptom
of lacking confidence while doubting others is due
to the
lack
of
trust
in
them.
We
would
never
imagine
this
sort
of
skepticism
would
trigger
some
astoundingly negative
consequences. Doubting ourselves would discourage
our inner confidence
and torture us in
the shadow of failure, while doubting others would
make us fell short of security
and live
in the state of danger presumed by ourselves.
我们常常自觉或者不自觉地怀疑自己、怀疑别人。怀疑自己是
缺乏自信的表现
,
而怀疑
别人很多时候是因为缺少信任
,
殊不知这种怀疑常常会导致我们意想不到的恶果。
怀疑自己
p>
导致我们内心受挫
,
总是生活在失败的阴
影里
;
怀疑别人则让我们缺乏安全感
,
总是生活在
自己假想的危险中。
