One day, our English teacher Ms. Smith came into the classroom with a book in her hand.
一天，我们的英语老师史密斯女士走进教室，手里拿着一本书。
She started her lesson with a question. "Who can describe what stress is like?" No one answered.
她用一个问题开始她的讲课。“谁能描述压力是什么样的？” 没有人回答。
Then she raised the book and asked, "How heavy is the book?" We began to think and guess.
然后她举起书问道：“这本书有多重？” 我们开始思考和猜测。
One student stood up and said, "I think it is 100g." Another student said, "It's 200g". Our answers were different.
一个学生站起来说：“我想有100克。” 另一个学生说：“有200g。” 我们的回答都不同。
At last, Ms. Smith explained, "It doesn't matter on the real weight. It depends on how long you hold it.
最后，史密斯小姐解释说：“这与实际重量无关。这取决于你举着它多长时间。
If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have a pain in my right arm.
如果我举着它一分钟，没关系。如果我举着它一个小时，我的右臂就会疼。
If I hold it for a day, you will have to call a doctor. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.
如果我举着它一天，你们就得去请医生。它的重量是不变的，但我拿得越久，它就变得越重。
This book stands for stress. If you hold it without putting it down, sooner or later, you will not be able to keep on.
这本书代表压力。如果你一直举着不把它放下，你迟早会坚持不下去。
No matter how much stress you have, stop and have a rest for a while if possible.
不管你有多大的压力，如果可能的话，停下来休息一会儿。
Boys and girls, you should learn to relax yourselves. I am sure you will live a happy school life."
孩子们，你们应该学会放松自己。我相信你们会过上快乐的学校生活。”
We will never forget Ms. Smith and the meaningful lesson．
我们永远不会忘记史密斯小姐和这一节有意义的课
