A letter from the teacher counsellor
Dear Friends
Thank you very much for your letters.
Since the three of you have expressed more or less the same problem of having a guilty conscience
I would like to share with you some general view
on the matter here in our Teacher Counsellor's Corner.
I expect to meet you each next week during my office hours.
I must say that I am pleased to read your letters.
And from what you have described about the flower pot that dropped accidentally
from the high rise,
the ugly guys who teased and bullied the little boy on the train,
and the rude and careless cashier at the supermarket,
I have the sure feeling that you are all very honest and good students.
Clearly,you have a fair and sensible judgement
about the things that happen around you.
And this is very important.
I understand that you were not quite sure about how to react properly in those situations
and you still feel sorry for that.
In my opinion,your weakness may lie in a kind of?hesitation
and lack of courage in unexpected incidents.
In other words,if you had been a little more courageous
and more confident about yourselves,
you would have shown more strength and wisdom.
Dear friends,if a guilty conscience has made you reflect upon your past failure
I believe that careful thinking together with continuous effort
will certainly bring you more positive and successful solutions in the future
You are moving in the right direction.
I look forward to seeing you in my office.
Sincerely
Teacher Counsellor

輔導(dǎo)員老師的回信
親愛(ài)的朋友們
感謝你們的來(lái)信。
你們其中有三個(gè)人多多少少都遇到了同樣的內(nèi)疚感。
我想跟你們分享一下
我們輔導(dǎo)中心的意見(jiàn)對(duì)于你們遇到的這些問(wèn)題的意見(jiàn)。
我希望能在下周的工作日能見(jiàn)到你們每一個(gè)人。
我得說(shuō)我很高興看到你們的來(lái)信。
從你們敘述的花瓶不慎從高樓墜落，
戲弄和欺負(fù)火車上小男孩的丑惡的人，
還有超市里粗魯又大意的收銀員，
我感覺(jué)到你們都是很誠(chéng)實(shí)的好學(xué)生。
很明顯，你們對(duì)于發(fā)生在你們身邊的事
都表現(xiàn)出很公正很明智的判斷力
這一點(diǎn)是非常重要的。
我知道你們不明白對(duì)于這種情況應(yīng)該怎樣應(yīng)對(duì)，
并為此感到心存愧疚。
我認(rèn)為，你們的缺點(diǎn)可能就是你們的猶豫
和對(duì)突發(fā)事件缺乏應(yīng)對(duì)的勇氣。
也就是說(shuō)你們需要更多的膽量
和對(duì)自己更大的信心，
這樣你們就可以顯示出更多的力量和智慧。
親愛(ài)的朋友們，如果內(nèi)就讓你想起了過(guò)去的失敗
我相信謹(jǐn)慎的思考和不屑的努力
將會(huì)給你們的未來(lái)帶來(lái)更多積極和成功的應(yīng)對(duì)方法。
你們正朝著正確的方向前行。
期待在辦公室里見(jiàn)到你們。
你們的，
輔導(dǎo)員老師。
