英语翻译
My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced:‘Get up.You’re going with me to cut grass,’
The idea that my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited.From sunup to sundown my father,my younger brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta,Georgia.By the end of the day I was tired out ,but I felt good.I had put in a hard day’s labour
and had earned $6.
One day my father found some leaves I’d missed and pulled me aside.‘Clear away these leaves,’he said firmly,‘and don’t make me have to do it again,’The message was clear.Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time.It will never fail to impress the person you are working for.
After two years my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to do lawns(草坪)on our own.Every Saturday during our last two years of high school.We set out early in the morning with the same desire(愿望)and drive we had gained while working under our father.
Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying,but that didn’t matter.It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a forty-hour-a-week minimum(最低的)pay.‘My father never worked just forty hours a week,and neither have I,’I replied.‘If you’re only working forty hours,you probably don’t want to do any better than you’re doing.’
In every job I’ve held�from doing lawns to washing dishes�I have learned something that helped me in my next job.If you look hard enough,you can learn from any job you do.

我十四岁的那一年,在一个初夏的清晨,我被父亲早早地叫起床,他说：“快起来,跟我们一起割草去.”
事实上我爸爸认为我现在可以帮他分担一些事情了,这使我感到自豪和高兴.从日出到日落,爸爸、弟弟和我在美国乔治亚州附近的亚特兰大农场上一直不停地工作着.晚上回到家,我感觉很累,但我觉得很充实,因为这是我第一次尝试一天的辛苦劳动,并且挣得6元钱.
一天,父亲发现有些树叶我忘记清理了,他便把我拉到一边说,“把这些树叶清理了.”他很坚定地说,“下次不要再犯相同的错误了.”意思很明了,其实我也很清楚做第一份工作的重要性.我的第一次工作不能失败.
两年后,我的父亲告诉我和弟弟,他认为我们可以在自己的农场上工作了.在我们持续两年的高中学习期间的周六,我们带着同样的愿望早早地出发了,在父亲的教导下,我们获得了工作.保护草坪的工作其实并不是那么光荣或有多高的报酬,但这并不要紧.它使我领悟到,任何工作都是一个很好的工作,我所付出的总是要比以前要多很多.
一位报社记者曾经问我,“为什么会有人靠一周工作40小时的最低工资来维持生活?”“我的父亲从来没有工作超过40小时,我也不例外,”我回答到,“如果你工作到40小时,很有可能不想把它做得更好.”
在我以前做的每一份工作中,从保护草坪到洗碗,都会对我下一份工作有很所帮助,如果你觉得自己够努力,你都会从你所做过的任何工作中学到东西.
