In a class I teach the adults, and I recently did something "unpardonable (不可原谅的)". I gave the class homework! The assignment was to "go to someone you love within the next week and tell them you love them. It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or at least haven't shared those words with for a long time."
Now that doesn't sound like a very tough assignment, until you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35. Showing feelings or crying was just not done. ★
At the beginning of our next class, one of the men shared his impressive experience. He began by saying, "Dennis, I was quite angry with you when you gave us this task. I couldn't think of a person to say those words to, and besides, it was something really personal. But when I drove home, your homework reminded me of my father. Five years ago, we had a quarrel. After that, we avoided seeing each other unless we had to be at family gatherings. But even then, we hardly spoke to each other."
"So last Tuesday by the time I got home, I had persuaded myself to tell my father I loved him. It's strange, but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest. When I got home, I rushed into the house to tell my wife about my plan. The next morning, I got up early and called my dad at 9:00. On the phone, I just said, 'Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have something to tell you.' I made sure it wouldn't take long, so he finally agreed. At 5:30, I was at my parents' house ringing the doorbell, hoping that Dad would answer the door. Dad himself answered the door. I didn't waste any time — I took one step in the door and said, 'Dad, I just came to tell you that I love you.' Before my eyes, his face softened, the wrinkles seemed to disappear and he began to cry. He reached out and hugged me and said, 'I love you too, son, but I've never been able to say it.' It was such a precious moment. I hadn't felt that great in a long time. Two days after that visit, my dad suffered a heart attack and passed away in the hospital. So my message to all of you in this is: Don't wait to do the things if you know they are needed to be done."

B
我教授一个成人班级，最近我做了一件“不可原谅的”事。我给这个班布置了家庭作业！作业内容是“在下周内，去找一个你爱的人，然后告诉对方你爱他/她。这个人必须是你以前从未对其说过那些话，或者至少是很久没有和其分享过那些话的人。”
这个作业听起来似乎不是很难，但当你意识到班里大多数男士都超过35岁时，就不这么想了。表达情感或者哭泣这类事，他们是不会做的。★
在我们下一次课开始的时候，其中一位男士分享了他令人印象深刻的经历。他一开始说道：“丹尼斯，当你给我们布置这个任务的时候，我对你相当生气。我想不到一个可以对其说那些话的人，而且，这真的是一件很私人的事情。但是当我开车回家的时候，你的作业让我想起了我的父亲。五年前，我们大吵了一架。从那以后，除非我们必须参加家庭聚会，否则我们都避免见面。但即使在家庭聚会上，我们也几乎不跟对方说话。”
“所以上周二我到家的时候，我已经说服自己要告诉父亲我爱他。很奇怪，但仅仅是做出那个决定，似乎就卸下了我心头的重担。我回到家后，冲进屋子告诉我的妻子我的计划。第二天早上，我起得很早，9点的时候给爸爸打了个电话。在电话里，我只说了：‘爸爸，我今晚下班后能过来吗？我有件事要告诉你。’我确保这件事不会花很长时间，所以他最终同意了。5点30分，我到了父母家，按响了门铃，希望是爸爸来开门。爸爸亲自来开了门。我没有浪费任何时间——我走进门一步，然后说：‘爸爸，我只是来告诉你我爱你。’在我眼前，他的脸柔和了下来，皱纹似乎都消失了，然后他开始哭了起来。他伸出手拥抱了我，然后说：‘我也爱你，儿子，但我一直没能说出口。’那是一个如此珍贵的时刻。我很久都没有感觉这么好了。那次拜访两天后，我爸爸心脏病发作，在医院里去世了。所以我要给在座各位的启示是：如果你知道有些事情需要去做，就不要等着去做。”

B. 然而，这对他们来说是小菜一碟。
C. 但这是一个表达他们爱的机会。
D. 所以对一些人来说，这不是一项容易的任务。
