12、是一个有百年多历史的城市。Ephraim是一个中等模样的儿子，不很聪明也不傻，不是很好也不差。他并没有什么特别。他的兄弟成了钻石商人，但Ephraim还没明显表现出天生适合做什么事的才能，所以，后来他给一个叔叔当学徒，学习钻石切割的贸易。2 完美地切割钻石就像武士击剑或一个熟练的弓箭手射中靶心。当要切割一个重要的钻石时，工匠可能要花一个星期，甚至数周来研究，来积蓄注意力、经验、直觉，直到他能感知那轻轻的一敲，不再重复，恰好使钻石张力断开。,12,3 当 Ephraim学习切割时，他住在约翰内斯堡郊区的家里；他的兄弟姐妹都结婚有孩子了。在婚事上，他是一个不着急的人；起初，家人开他的玩笑，说他太挑

13、剔；后来，当别人用尖刻的语气、恼怒的态度、带点恶意的攻击、甚至因他人不履行自然义务而害怕地议论他时，他们家人保持沉默了。好心的人说，他是个好儿子，跟他叔叔工作得很好，他在家里体面地生活着，星期天晚上去和单身汉朋友打扑克。他有25岁了，然后是30岁，35岁，40岁。他的父亲年老并去世了，他独自在家居住。人们不再注意他了，对他也不报什么希望。4 后来有位资深工匠生病了，要求 Ephraim替他飞往亚历山大去做件特别的工作。某个亚历山大的富商买了块未切割的钻石,13,作为他送女儿的礼物，她不久就要结婚了。他想把钻石做成最好的。这一次，Ephraim 以世界级钻石切割大师的身份，飞往埃及；在富商的一个

14、安静屋子里，他花了几天工夫研究这块宝石；然后，让它恰到好处地劈为三分，分别用于做戒指和耳环。5 现在，他本该再飞回家了，但富商却要求他共进晚餐。这可是不寻常的机会。不是很多人能够进入富商封闭的世界的。也许是因为富商被那周的紧张气氛感染了，Ephraim在一个安静的房间里聚精会神，与钻石融为一体。6 晚宴上，Ephraim见到了富商的女儿，钻石首饰的主人。译者：周 荆 洪,14,Work with your partner and write out the words about jewelry:What You Wear:ring 戒指,bracelet 手链,手镯,hair pin 发夹,
