我的自画像——忧伤王子（中文）聂德智（译文）

永远

　　《自述》

文/忧伤王子

吾为师三十载（二十八年），白衣之身，无禄无爵，权益难恃。师道日衰，尊严渐微。尝闻家长斥曰：“愈不似师者。” 转作撰文一岁余，披荆斩棘，誓为主持正义。今秉笔如持尚方，正气盈怀。复闻家长叹曰：“始似师矣。”

My Personal Account

译文/聂德智

For thirty years (twenty-eight, to be exact), I have served as a teacher—a commoner in plain attire, with neither rank nor title, my rights and interests ever uncertain. The respect once accorded to the teaching profession has waned day by day, its dignity slowly fading. I once overheard a parent rebuke me, saying, "You no longer resemble a teacher."

Having shifted my focus to writing for over a year now, I have forged ahead through thorns and brambles, vowing to uphold justice. Today, I wield my pen as though holding the imperial sword of authority, my heart filled with righteous purpose. Once again, I hear a parent sigh and remark, "Now, at last, you resemble a teacher."

　　我的自画像

文/忧伤王子

我从事教师职业已近三十年（实为二十八年），始终保持着朴素的本色，既无显赫的俸禄，也无尊贵的爵位，应有的权益也难以得到保障。近年来，尊师重道的风气日益淡薄，教师的尊严也逐渐衰落。曾听到有家长斥责我说：“越来越不像个老师的样子。”于是，我转而投身写作已有一年多，其间克服种种困难，立志为维护正义而发声。如今执笔写作，犹如手持象征公正的“尚方宝剑”，心中充满浩然正气。近来又听到家长感叹道：“现在才真正像个老师了。”
