英语翻译
(1)In a national spelling contest in America,an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word.But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E.They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said,By now,the girl knew she had misspelled the word.But instead of lying,she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter — so she lost the contest.
(2)As the girl walked off the stage,the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her honesty.Later,dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty,even when it cost her the contest.But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day:the contest of her character.
(3)Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught.This young girl could easily have lied and nobody would have known it but herself.But that’s just it:She would know she did wrong.It’s been said,“If you cheat,you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the prize from a spelling contest.Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give her for winning a contest.She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made in that moment would have a long-lasting influence.

对我们品行和诚实最大的考验可能就是:在知道自己永远不会被发现的情况下我们会怎么做.小女孩要说谎很容易,因为除了她,没人知道她要说的是什么.但问题就在这里:她自己会知道做错了.如果你骗人,你就作践了自己.小女孩是如此坚强聪明,与拼字比赛得奖相比,她更珍惜自己的良心和品德.与别人给她赢得比赛的尊重相比,她把自尊看得更重要.她知道,那一刻她所作的选择是她今后必须面对的,而且会有长远的影响.
