Carl Rowan grew up to be appointed as an ambassador for his country. And

yet he came from a poor family and was raised at a time and in a place where black

Americans were denied many of the advantages enjoyed by whites. How did he

manage to rise so high from such a disadvantaged background? Much of the

credit must go to Miss Bessie.

卡尔·罗旺长大成人后被任命为代表国家的大使。可是，他出生在一个贫穷的家庭里，

生长在美国黑人被剥夺了白人享有的许多权益这样一个时代，这样一个地方。他是如何从

这样低的社会阶层升到这样高的地位的呢？这很大程度上得归功于贝西小姐。

Unforgettable Miss Bessie

Carl T. Rowan

1 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

foolish days that I liked it. From 1938 to 1942, when I attended Bernard High

School in McMinnville, Tenn., she taught me English, history, civics—and a lot more

than I realized.

难忘恩师贝西小姐

卡尔·T·罗旺

她身高不过5英尺上下，体重可能从来不超过110磅，但贝西小姐在教室里形象极其

高大。她是个厉害女人，只有她能逼得我去读《贝奥武甫》，而且有那么几天，我还真傻乎

乎地觉得自己挺喜欢这首史诗。从1938年到1942年，我在田纳西州麦克敏维尔的伯纳

德高中上学，她教我英语、历史、公民学，还有许多当时我未能领悟的东西。

2 I shall never forget the day she scolded me into reading

Beowulf

.

我永远忘不了她训斥着要我读《贝奥武甫》的那一天。

3 "But Miss Bessie," I complained, "I ain't much interested in it."

"可是，贝西小姐，"我抱怨说，"我对它不怎么感兴趣。"

4 Her large brown eyes became daggerish slits. "Boy," she said, "how dare

you say 'ain't' to me! I've taught you better than that."
