He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him on the niceties of behaviour; without a word of objection, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John -- a veteran procrastinator – said, "You're right. I guess I will." 他会很慷慨地把自己的磁带借给弟弟,并告诫他如何有良好的行为举止;他会毫无怨言地把烧炉子用的劈柴抱进来。有一天当我建议他在晚饭前开始做作业时,约翰这个一贯拖拉的家伙居然说:“您是对的,我想我会做的。”
When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn't know what caused the changes, she said laughing. "It must be his coat!" Another teacher told him she was giving him a good mark not only because he had earned it but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children in a long time, “Could this be John?" he asked, looking up to John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.
当我对他的一个老师提起这件事,并说我不知道这是为什么时,她笑着说:“一定是因为他的大衣!”另一个老师告诉他,她要给他一个好成绩,不仅仅因为他理应获得,还因为她喜欢他的大衣。在图书馆里我们遇见了一位朋友,他已经很长时间没有看见我们的孩子了。看着约翰长高的个子,品评着他大衣的样式,这位朋友不禁问道:“这是约翰吗?” 同时向约翰伸出了手,完全是绅士间的行为。
