当每一个孩子都能上好学校时，我也许会回去教书。
When there is a good school for every child, I may be ready.
当我们不再将钱财耗费在武器装备上来杀人时，当我们不再容忍对少数民族的歧视时，当惩治住房和雇佣不公行为的法律得以实施而不是被束之高阁时，那么我在政治上也就再没什么可做的了
When we do not spend our wealth on hardware to murder people, when we no longer tolerate prejudice against minorities, and when the laws against unfair housing and unfair employment practices are enforced instead of evaded, then there may be nothing more for me to do in politics. 但是在那以前——我们都知道那不是今年或是明年——我们需要的是更多的妇女投身于政治，因为妇女可以作出特殊的贡献。
But until that happens – and we all know it will not be this year or next – what we need is more women in politics, because we have a very special contribution to make.
我希望自己成功的例子能使其他的妇女愿意参与政治活动——不仅仅是装信封，而是竞选政府职位。
I hope that the example of my success will convince other women to get into politics – and not just to stuff envelopes, but to run for office.
妇女能将同情、宽容、远见、忍耐和毅力带到政府中——这是我们与生俱有的品质或是在男人的压制下不得不培养出来的品质。
It is women who can bring empathy, tolerance, insight, patience, and persistence to government – the qualities we naturally have or have had to develop because of our suppression by men. 一个国家的妇女通过她们在生活中的行为来塑造这个国家的道德、宗教和政治。 The women of a nation mold its morals, its religion, and its politics by the lives they live. 目前， 我们国家在政治上也许比其他任何方面更需要妇女的理想主义和决心。
At present, our country needs women‘s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else
Lesson Six A Good Chance
我到鸭溪时，喜鹊没在家，我和他的妻子阿米莉亚谈了谈。
When I got to Crow Creek, Magpie was not home. I talked to his wife Amelia.
―我要找喜鹊，‖我说，―我给他带来了好消息。‖我指指提着的箱子，―我带来了他的诗歌和一封加利福尼亚大学的录取通知书，他们想让他来参加为印第安人举办的艺术课。‖
―I need to find Magpie,‖ I said. ―I‘ve really got some good news for him.‖ I pointed to the briefcase I was carrying. ―I have his poems and a letter of acceptance from a University in California where they want him to come and participate in the Fine Arts Program they have started for Indians.‖
