The Teacher Who Has Had a Deep Impact on My

From age eight to eleven, I attended a small parochial school in Bath, England. It was a small composed of four classes with about 25 children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher was responsible for teaching all subjects to their class. However, occasionally the Headmaster would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subject in which he was especially interested. The Headmaster’s name was Mr.Ronald Broackes. He was a large rotund man with a very jovial¹ nature and a compassionate² disposition³. Although he was quite strict about discipline within the school, he had a keen sense of humor and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh uproariously. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took a great interest in me and he quickly discovered that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often waylay⁴ me as I was going to class and produce a piece of paper from his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they kindled⁵ within me a love of mathematics and problem-solving that stays with mw to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day I can remember Mr.Broackes’ joyous⁶ exclamation⁷ of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right or his own delight when he stumped⁸ me. This simple interaction with a man whom I admired greatly has had a deep impact on my life. I shall forever be grateful that our paths crossed. Mr. Broackes died just two week after the announcement that I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology⁹ or Medicine. Unfortunately, I had no chance to speak with him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my achievement and I will always hope that he realized the deep impact he had made on my life.
影响了我一生的老师

理查德.J. 罗伯茨（Richard J.Roberts 1943-）,英国生物化学家，因发现断裂基因获1993年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。

从8岁到11岁，我在英格兰巴思的一个教会小学上学。那是一个很小的学校，由4个班级组成，每班大约有25个孩子，是按照年龄来分班的，一般都是由一个老师负责教每个班级的全部课程。但是，校长偶尔也会到班级来，用上大约一个小时讲授一些他特别感兴趣的课程。校长名叫罗纳德.布罗克斯，是一个又高又胖的男人，天性快乐并富有同情心。尽管他在学校里有很严格的纪律要求，但他富于幽默感，喜欢给孩子们讲一些小故事，常引得大家哄然大笑。他是一个很正直的人，对许多孩子都有很大的影响。以我为例我发现他对我很感兴趣，并且很快就知道我喜欢破解难题。他经常在我进教室的路上拦住我，然后从口袋里掏出一张纸条给我，上面通常写着有关数学或逻辑的难题。随着时间的推移，题目渐渐地越来越难，可我很喜欢。不仅如此，这些小纸条还点燃了我对数学和破解难题的热爱，这种热爱至今还保留在我的身上。当我找出正确答案时，我会觉得这种智力活动是值得一做的，或许更重要的是，那是巨大的乐趣。直道今天我还能回想起，每当我答对了问题，布罗克斯先生对要愉快的叫道“干得好！”，而当他的题目难道了我时他就得意洋洋。我与这位我很敬佩的人的平淡交往，对我一生产生了深刻影响，我永远不会忘记他对我的知遇之恩。在宣布我获得了1993年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖后刚两个星期布罗克斯先生就过世了。很遗憾，在他生前我没有机会再同他聊聊。后来我才知道，布洛克斯先生临终前已经知道了我的学术成就。我永远希望他能知道他对我一生的深刻影响。
