　　英语四级听力美文第69篇:Funeral Sermon for Mammy Caroline Barr

　　Caroline has known to me all my life. It was my privilege to see her out of hers. After myfather's death, to Mammy I came to represent the head of that family to which she had given ahalf century of fidelity and devotion. But the relationship between us never became that ofmaster and servant. She still remained one of my earliest recollections, not only as a person, but as a fount of authority over my conduct and of security for my physical welfare, and ofactive and constant affection and love. She was an active and constant precept for decentbehavior. From her I learned to tell the truth, to refrain from waste, to be considerate of theweak and respectful to age. I saw fidelity to a family which was not hers, devotion and lovefor people she had not born.

　　She was born in bondage and with a dark skin and most of her early maturity was passed in adark and tragic time for the land of her birth. She went through vicissitudes which she ad notcaused; she assumed cares and griefs which were not even her cares and griefs. She was paidwages for this, but pay is still just money. And she never received very much of that, so thatshe never laid up anything of this world's goods. Yet she accepted that too without cavil orcalculation or complaint, so that by that very failure she earned the gratitude and affectionof the family she had conferred the fidelity and devotion upon, and gained the grief andregret of the aliens who loved and lost her.

　　She was born and lived and served, and died and now is mounted; if there is a heaven, she hasgone there.
