程度副詞

but hardly my first day
in the school district of Philadelphia.

但那天不是我在費城學區的第一天。

I graduated from
Philadelphia public schools,

and I went on to teach
special education for 20 years

那是一所低收入、低水準的學校，

and deep poverty is
among the highest in the nation.

收入不及聯邦貧窮線一半的人
居全國之冠。

Shortly after I walked into my new school,

就在我走進我的新學校後不久，

to introduce myself
as the school's new principal.

介紹我自己是這學校的新校長。

I started listing as forcefully as I could

開始列出我對他們行為的期望，

and my expectations
for what they would learn in school.

對他們要在學校學什麼的期望。

a girl way in the back of the auditorium,

about my own experience
when I attended a low-performing school

就位在同一個社區，
那是很久以前的事了。

in the same neighborhood,
many, many, many years earlier.

我第三度到低水準學校當校長。

I was entering my third
low-performing school as principal.

我是草莓屋高中
四年來的第四個校長。

I was to be Strawberry Mansion's
fourth principal in four years.

它被標為「低水準且持續危險」，

It was labeled "low-performing
and persistently dangerous"

Shortly as I approached the door
of my new school

我立刻發現門是用鐵鍊鎖住的，

在我耳中迴繞：「校長！校長！

學校的走廊又黑又暗，
因為照明不足。

The halls were dim and dark
from poor lighting.

There were tons of piles
of broken old furniture

還有成千上萬
未用過的教材及物品。

and there were thousands
of unused materials and resources.

I noticed that the classrooms
were nearly empty.

嚇得不敢排排坐，
因為怕有什麼狀況發生；

scared to sit in rows in fear
that something would happen;

嚇壞了因為他們常常在學校餐廳
被人譏笑吃免費食物。

scared because they were often teased
in the cafeteria for eating free food.

他們怕死了那些打架，那些霸凌。

They were scared from all the fighting
and all the bullying.

他們對自身的安危都嚇得要命，

who were incredibly afraid
for their own safety,

所以他們對學生、
對自己的期望都很低，

so they had low expectations
for the students and themselves,

and they were totally
unaware of their role

能對這個崩壞的學校文化做什麼。

in the destruction
of the school's culture.

他們的學校真的稱不上是學校。

their schools are really
not schools at all.

讓我告訴你們在草莓屋高中
我們是怎麼做的。

Let me tell you how it's being done
at Strawberry Mansion High School.

每個跟我共事過的人都會告訴你們

Anybody who's ever worked
with me will tell you

是我們在尋求改變時的最高原則。

that have been paramount
in our quest for change.

that what happens in a school
and what does not happen in a school

and having that title required me to lead.

and I was not going to be afraid
to address anything

所以我組了一個頂尖的領導團隊，

So, I assembled
a top-notch leadership team

這個團隊相信學童無窮的可能性，

who believed in the possibility
of all the children,

and together, we tackled the small things,

像是親手重設
每一個衣物櫃的號碼鎖，

like resetting every single
locker combination by hand

所以每個學生都有能上鎖的衣物櫃，

so that every student
could have a secure locker.

我們布置了那座建築物裡的
每一面布告欄，
