分数是你的好朋友Fractions are your friend.
日常生活中经常用到分数Use fractionsin every day life.

比如你妈妈烤了一个派For example, say your mother bakes a pie.

科恩 你去校长室Cohen! Just go to the principal's office.
这不是跟校长自我介绍的好方法Not the best way to introduce myself to the principal.
布莱德 你把学校当成什么What do you think a school's for, Brad?
抱歉我一直打断课程 I'm sorry I keep disrupting the class
你没回答我的问题 学校是干嘛的You're not answering my question. What's a school for?
要教育学生 不是吗To educate, isn't it?
要用知识来打败无知To use knowledge to wipe out ignorance?

布莱德 你上台Come on up here, Brad.
你喜欢发出怪声惹人讨厌吗Do you like making noises and upsetting people, Brad?
不喜欢No, sir.
那你干嘛要这样Then why do you do it?
因为我有妥瑞症候群Because I have Tourette Syndrome.
那是什么What's that?
我大脑有问题 所以会发出怪声It's a thing in my brain that causes me to make weird noises.
但你想控制就能控制 对吧But you could control it if you wanted to, right?
不对 这是一种病No, sir. It's a sickness.
怎么没接受治疗Well, why can't you just get cured?
没有药可以医There isn't any cure.
你们不喜欢听到怪声 我也不喜欢发出怪声I don't like making noises any more than you like hearing them.
我压力大的时候会更严重They're even worse when I get stressed,
比如你们无法接受我不能控制when you don't accept that I can't stop them.
但大家都接受我 我就不会那么严重了But when I feel accepted, then they're not so bad.
我们能怎么做What can we do
我指的是学校里的每一个人and I mean everyone in this school
我们能怎么帮你 布莱德What can we do to help you, Brad?
我只希望大家别用异样眼光看我I just want to be treated like everybody else.
说得好 回去坐吧Good job. Go sit down.
说几句话 教育一下A few words a little education
就像开启了通往全新世界的大门and it was like opening a door to a brand new world.
我知道将来不管怎么做 Now some day, some way, I knew,
无论我有没有妥瑞症Tourette's or no Tourette's,
我都要当一个老师I was going to be a teacher.
我别无选择 只能证明妥瑞症I had no choice but to prove that Tourette's would
永远不会打倒我never get the best of me.
如果我放弃了 就等于是认同lf I quit, I would be agreeing with everyone
跟我说我想得太天真的那些人who ever told me I was barking up the wrong tree.
抱歉 空调坏了 早就应该修好啦Sorry about the air conditioning. Supposed to already be fixed by now.
没关系That's all right.
你的履历还不错Well, umm, your resume looks okay.
我们五年级也有个缺And we do have an opening in fifth grade.
好OK.
但我要告诉你 在这里教书可不轻松But I do have to tell you:this is a tough place to work.
有几个头痛人物We've got some really hard cases.
我视之为挑战Well, I take that as a challenge.
我不认为有哪个小孩是没救的I don't believe that any kid is hopeless.
他们都想学习 你永远不能放弃You know, they all want to learn you can't ever give up.
只需要 Let me just.
只是要找对方法教导他们You just gotta find the right way to teach them.
你喉咙有痰吗Ahh, you got something stuck in your throat?
要不要喝杯水Would you like a drink?
我有妥瑞症 我想解释一下 I have Tourette Syndrome. I'd like to tell you about it.
它是一种神经上的 妥瑞症It's a neurological.Tourette's?
是不是会骂脏话Isn't that where you yell out obscenities?
那是秽语症 这症状很罕见That's coprolalia, It's, ahh, it's a rare symptom
只有少部分的妥瑞症患者会有that a small percentage of people with Tourette's have.
-我就没有 -好吧 -I don't have that. -OK, listen.
他们没说你是身心障碍They did not tell me that you were going to be handicapped.
你要怎么教一群调皮的学生How do you expect to handle a bunch of wild students
有这方面的残障 with a handicap like that?
就教育他们啊Well. By educating them.
让他们知道这是不必避讳的By letting them know it's okay to talk about it.
-可以问问题 -这些学生会嘲笑你-It's okay to ask questions.-These students would laugh at you.
等他们明白Not.not when they understand
-这只是 -好吧 我有看过-it's simply a matter of .OK. I have seen teachers
有残障的老师with disabilities before .
但从来没遇过你这方面的.but never with what you've got.
我只是不明白你要怎么教学生I just don't see how you could ever teach a class.
我可以教书 你看我的履历I can teach! Look at my resume.
仔细看Look at it! Ok?
我在教学上非常成功I was very successful as a student teacher
我的妥瑞症从来就不是问题my Tourette's never posed a problem!
我可以教书I can teach!
好吧 反正我需要五年级的老师OK. Bottom line:I need somebody now for fifth grade.
你想在这里教书You want to teach here,
在课堂上就不能发出怪声you're gonna have to refrain from making these noises in class.
好 谢谢你给我面试的机会You know what? Thank you very much for the interview.
你想要这份工作吗But, don't you want the job ?
对 我是很想要Yes, actually. I want it really bad.
但我说什么也不替一个不关心学生的人工作But I would never, ever work for a man who doesn't care about his students.
所以我要把我的资料带走So, I'll take my portfolio and, ahh,
不再浪费你宝贵的时间and take no more of your time.
你老板人还真好啊You got a great boss.
那是我最烂的一次面试经验Well, it was the worst interview I've ever had.
他只看到我妥瑞症的那一面All he could see when he looked at me was my Tourette's.
他们都只看到这一面That's all any of them see.
宝贝 他们没看到你是个好老师Well, honey, if they can't see what a great teacher you'd be
那是他们的损失 不是你的错that is their failure, not yours.
看起来是我的错Well, it sure seems like my failure.
你要这么说我也没办法啦Well, if you say so. You know what?
不然你干脆放弃 回家给我养Why don't you just throw in the towel and come home, huh?
我会给你买了一张票I'll buy you a ticket.
我又没这样讲I'm not saying that
是吗你就是这个意思啊Really? That sounds like what you're saying.
我听起来就是你被妥瑞症打倒了It sounds like you're letting Tourette's win.
我没让妥瑞症打倒我I am not letting Tourette's win!
-真的吗 -对 -Really? -Yes, really!
我永远不会放弃 我只是 Look, I'm never going to give up, I just.
我要找对学校才行I have to find the right school.
你会的 波波You will, Bobo. You will.
我的结论是此事无关妥瑞症So, I decided it wasn't Tourette's.
我只是要找对学校I just hadn't found the right school yet.
我会继续找 不找到好校长是不会放弃的I'd keep barking, and I wasn't quitting until I found that principal.
我在地图上标示了每一间 I made a map of every school
我还没面试过的学校where I hadn't interviewed.
如果校长不在 我就把履历给秘书或管理员lf the Principal wasn't in, I'd give my resume to a secretary or a janitor,
请他们等校长回来再拿给他看and ask them to drop it off when the principal returned.
我不在乎 我需要一份工作I didn't care. I needed a job.
我没找到工作就不轻言罢休I wasn't going to stop until I had one.
你从基层做起You'll be starting at the bottom,
但这样很正常 我也是白手起家but that's no big deal, that's where I started.
你上班时间是点到点And you're working to .
我说过这是兼差性质I told you this is only part time.
我早上要面试 不能来上班I need to keep mornings open for interviews.
学校不是早就开学了吗I thought that school had already started.
有些学校还没No, not all of them.
再看情况吧Well, we'll see what happens.
这是你的工具 至少暂时的啦Here are your tools of the trade at least for the time being.
我说过了 要从基层做起Like I said, at the bottom.
但这里的每份工作都很重要 天晓得But every job is important here, and who knows
也许你做一做会爱上 只要你投入时间 maybe you'll end up liking it. And if you put your time in.
我刚才讲的你没听见吗Didn't you hear what I just said?
我只在这里上班到我找到教职I'm only working here until I get a teaching job
那些东西都要搬去垃圾堆All that stuff has to go in the dumpster.
聘任教师的季节快结束了The hiring season was ending.
我的面试机会没了 学校已经开学My interviews had dried up. School had started.
我没时间 也没钱 没有希望I was running out of time and money.and hope.
黛安Diane.
我不指望你会来找我了 所以我直接来找你I gave up on you ever coming to me, so I just came to you.
你在忙吗You busy?
是我的继母黛安 她想用贝果来拉拢我It was my stepmom, Diane. Trying to build bridges with bagels.
你爸是凭双手打造他的事业Your Dad built his business with his own two hands
他希望你能参与 你不能怪他you can't blame him for wanting you to be a part of it.
他只是在尽爸爸的本份He's just being a dad.
他希望你融入他的人生He wants you in his life.
你喜欢亚特兰大吗 有没有认识好女孩So how do you like Atlanta? You meet any nice girls?
我讲话都讲不到重点 对吧I'm just saying all the right things, huh?
我再帮你倒一杯Let me get you a refill
布莱德 Brad. Brad,
你爸很爱你your dad loves you.
非常爱你.so much.
他只是不想看到你受伤He just doesn't want to see you get hurt
最让我受伤的是 他从来就不接受真正的我The only thing that hurts is the fact that he has never accepted who I am.
他脑海里有个完美儿子的形象See, he's got this idea of a perfect son,
他很正常 做的都是正常的事who is "normal" and does "normal" things.
我永远也不可能正常Well, I'm never gonna be "normal"
也许那不是他本意Well, maybe that's not his idea, Brad.
也许是你的想法 你说得对 你是不正常Maybe that's yours. And you're right, you are not normal.
你有教学的天分You have this gift to teach,
这不是克服了妥瑞症的障碍and it's not in spite of your Tourette's,
而是因为妥瑞症it's because of it.
我要先走了I have to go.

嗨Hi.
进办公室聊 布莱德Come on in the office, Brad.
听说你大老远从停车场过来We heard you coming all the way from the parking lot.
听说你每间学校都跑遍了Hear you've been making the rounds.
目前为止是间 这是我的履历表Twenty-five schools so far. And, uh, here's, here's my resume.

好OK.
这是我毕生最大的愿望Well, it's, uh, oh, it's, it's all I ever wanted to be.
从我还在念书到现在Ever since I was in school.
一定有什么好老师激励了你You must have had some pretty inspiring teachers.
是有校长激励了我 麦尔先生Ah, well. I had an inspiring principal Mr. Myer
但我的老师们 他们but my teachers, they really only
给我的启发都只是让我别像他们一样inspired me to be the kind of teachers they never were.
那你要当怎样的老师What kind of teacher is that?
就算学生与众不同 也要给他学习的机会One who makes it possible for a kid to learn even if he's different.
我最好的老师应该算是妥瑞症吧In a way, the, the best teacher I ever had was my Tourette's.
布莱德 你可以不必谈这个You, you don't have to talk about that, Brad.
没关系啦 我早就下定决心要直言不讳了No, it's OK. I make a point of being open about it.
我从来不给学生们设限It's, ah, never off-limits to my students.
他们随时可以问我任何问题They can ask me anything they want about it at any time.
有些问题想必很有趣吧You must get some pretty interesting questions.
对 有时候会牵涉到隐私Oh, yeah. Sometimes it gets really personal.
希望这个问题对你不会太隐私I hope this question isn't too personal, Brad.
你睡觉时会不会发出怪声Do you make those noises in your sleep?
我不知道 我睡着了啊I don't know. I'm asleep.
不是啦 我睡觉时不会发出怪声No. No, I don't tic in my sleep.
我放松时就不会发出怪声了 比如现在When I'm relaxed, the noises give me a little bit of a break. Like just now.
好吧 我想多了解你的教学理念Okay Brad. I want to hear more about your teaching philosophy.
好 我很乐意分享我的教学理念Yeah. I'd love to tell you about my teaching philosophy.
我们聊了将近两个小时 We talked for nearly two hours,
这是我最棒的一次面试经验it was the best interview I'd ever had
布莱德 很高兴认识你Well, Brad, it was a pleasure to meet you.
我也是You, too. You, too.
我们还要再面试几位老师We've still got a few more teachers to interview.
一旦决定好就会通知你But we'll let you know when we've made a decision.
好 太好了Ok, great.
谢谢 谢谢两位Thank you. Thank you.
我这多年的同伴还是一样Still, my Constant Companion, as always,
警告我不要抱太大的失望warned me not to get my hopes up.
但希望是很难戒掉的习惯But hope is a hard habit to break.
我最后一次被找去I was called one last time to and asked come in
和二年级的教职员面谈and meet with the second grade staff.
你有教过二年级Oh, so, you student-taught second grade?
我超爱二年级 那些小孩都像海绵一样Oh, I love second grade! The kids are still so open-minded.
不管教他们什么都可以吸收They're open to everything.
对 但还是要维持一点纪律吧Yes, but you do manage to maintain a little discipline, right?
不能让他们什么都吸收啊While they're being so open?
对 我会让他们知道分寸的I do let them know what the boundaries are. Yes.
布莱德 你觉得你要教的最重要的是什么So, Brad. What do you think is the most important thing you have to teach?
嗯 除了识字的重要性和数学的价值以外Yeah. Ah, well. Besides the importance of reading and the value of math.
要教他们做自己that it's okay to be yourself.
着色涂到线外面也没关系 It's okay to color outside the lines
反正你就是这样的人if that's who you are.
那就可以忽略界线吗So it's okay to ignore the boundaries?
不是 我没有 No, and I didn't.
对不起 学生要怎么学习I'm sorry but how can you expect kids to learn
当你你一直这样做 when you're doing that all the time?
拜托 布兰妲 Oh. Come on, Brenda
没关系啦 这个问题很好No, no, no. It's OK. It's a valid question.
我想回答I want to answer it.
学生在了解我之前 Before they know me,
有时候会觉得我很怪 甚至可怕kids sometimes do think I'm just weird, even scary.
但等我跟他们解释了妥瑞症But, once I educate them about my Tourette's
他们就知道科恩老师是普通人and they see that Mr. Cohen is a real person
只是碰巧会发出一些怪声who just happens to make funny noises,
然后他们就认同我是个好老师well, then they accept me as a good teacher.
就像他们接受你们在座各位一样Just like they accept all of you.
也许我们该向二年级的学生多学学Well, maybe we should all try to be more like second-graders.
还有谁有问题要问科恩先生Does anyone have any other questions for Mr. Cohen?
布莱德 谢谢你抽空过来Brad thanks for coming in.
校方会跟你联络 请你耐心等The school will be in touch with you, so just be patient.
感觉最后一次机会也搞砸了 It's hard to be patient
要耐心等真的很难 when you feel as though you've blown your last chance.
而且耐心从来就不是我多年同伴的强项And patience never was my Constant Companion's strong suit
那所学校应该没跟你联络吧I'm guessing you never heard from that school.
还没有 他们还在面试No, not yet. They're still interviewing.
我不担心I'm not worried.
好吧Okay.
这是什么意思Is that supposed to mean?
我只是说"好吧"I just said "okay".
我懂你的意思I know what you mean
你觉得还有别的选择 人家就不会选中我you don't think anybody would hire me if they had a choice.
你是怎样会读心术吗What are you, a mind-reader now?
爸 今天是我最后一天上班You know what, Dad? This is gonna be my last day here?
你怎么不等找到工作再说Well, why don't you wait and see if you got the job first?
我一定会找到工作的I'm gonna get the job, Dad.
只是我要保持专注I just have to stay focused.
你难道不能同时专注和实际吗 Why can't you stay focused and realistic at the same time?
这样有什么不好What's wrong with that?
拿去吧Here.
你没事吧Whoa! Are you all right, man?
你这样会受伤啦You'll knock yourself out doing that!
如果你开车时这样怎么办What if that happens while you're driving?
我没事I'm fine.
对啦 我不知道 你应该换个医生看看Uh, yeah, I don't know. You oughta see another doctor.
我这辈子都在看医生 根本没用I've seen doctors my whole life, Ron. OK? They don't help.

我真的不需要I really don't!

对了 谢谢你带我来打球Hey, by the way, thanks for the round.
要谢就谢老爸吧 等一下 Thank Dad. Oh, wait, forgot.
我忘了你们不讲话.you guys aren't speaking.
我现在不想提到老爸I don't want to talk about Dad right now.
你这样讲只是想激我啦You're just saying that to rattle me because you know
我一定会赢你I'm going to beat you.
我是认真的 你跟爸该和好了啦I'm serious, Brad, you and Dad gotta start getting along.
我们处得很好啊We get along fine

所以你才搬来这里吗 Is that why you moved down here?
