Some excellent translating skills were used in the following translation.The paragraph maybe is long to you,but please be patience
to finish it,I think it's helpful to all of you.
低年级的小学生最喜欢老师点名了。我按着号码依序唱名，每当看到他们在快轮到自己时那股坐立不安、迫不及待的表情，终于明白了"点名"对他们来说是值得期待的
大事。那神情就像在后台梳妆打扮妥当的表演者，认真等待登场的一刻；然后在老师
喊到自己名字的一刹那，飘飘然感到自己此刻就是聚光灯下的主角，将完美的演出化
为声嘶力竭的"有!"
学生像舞台上相互较劲似的一个比一个应得响亮，我时常在凛冽的清晨、昏沉的
午后，被这一连串抖擞清亮的回应振奋出一腔豪情壮志。
六七岁的孩子尚缺乏自我肯定的能力，需借由他人的注意来肯定本身价值，越小
的孩子越期盼老师能在课堂上喊到自己的名字。
"这题谁会？""我！我！我！"台下孩子无不尽量将脖子伸到最长，小手举到最
高，竭尽所能想让老师看到，被点到名的莫不喜形于色，没给叫到的，难免又是一番
唉声叹气、捶胸顿足。
就连平日人人避之惟恐不及的垃圾，只要老师登高一呼："谁帮忙倒垃圾呀？"台
下亦是一阵哗然，人人抢着做。不怕脏，不怕臭，就怕老师不叫我。长期被忽略的孩
子甚至会故意使坏，为的只是博取师长关注。"点名"原来也是如此重要而美好的事。
Juniors at a primary school like the roll call best.When I
called the roll one by one, I realized from the look of the pupil
anxious about the imminence of his turn how much it meant to him.He
was like a serious-looking performer fully made-up and ready to go on
stage. At the moment his name was called the best performance he
could put up was to shout at the top of his voice: " Present!" , as
if he were the real hero in the spotlight.
Pupils vie with each other for loudness of voice just like those
players on the stage. Often at a chilly dawn or in the dusky
afternoon, I was so struck and excited by the spirited, clear and
loud responses that I felt my soul soared.
As children at the age of 6 or 7 lack self-assurance, they need
other people's attention to prove their own worth. That's why the
younger the child the more expectant he is of being called by name.
" Who wants a try?" Hardly had the teacher's question been finished when answers were heard " Let me!" " Me too." " Me too."
Every one stretched his neck and held up his hand as high as
possible, trying hard to catch the teacher's attention. The one
chosen was greatly delighted, all the others could not help sighing
or stamping in regret.
Even the disposal of garbage that people usually avoid as much as
possible can become something quite different. If the teacher makes
a call: " Who'll give a helping hand?" , all will respond in a noisy
commotion. Every one scrambles for the job no matter how dirty or
filthy it is. It's to be chosen that counts. Negligence, if long
enough, can lead to a child's deliberate mischief, by which he's
actually trying to regain the teacher's attention. So we see what an
important and nice thing the roll call is.
