国外一名小学食堂经理在食堂供应的香蕉上写下鼓舞人心的信息，对孩子们产生重大积极影响。
A cafeteria manager is changing her students’ lives for the better at an elementary school in Virginia Beach, Va., writing empowering and uplifting messages on bananas being offered in the school cafeteria.
弗吉尼亚州维吉尼亚海滩的一所小学里，一名食堂经理正在让学生们的生活变得更好，她在学校食堂供应的香蕉上写下鼓舞人心的信息。
Stacey Truman has held the position at Kingston Elementary School for nine years, but recently decided to start making the “talking bananas,” as the kids call them, to encourage the students.
史黛西.杜鲁门在金斯顿小学担任这个职位已经九年了，但最近她开始决定制作孩子们所说的“会说话的香蕉”来鼓励学生。
“I do it for my kids at home, so why not bring it here and do it for them because they are like my kids,” Truman said to WTKR.
杜鲁门告诉WTKR电视台:“我在家里为我的孩子这么做，所以为什么不在这里为他们这么做呢，他们就像我的孩子一样。”
The bananas have several motivational messages like “Never give up,” “You are wise!” and “Keep trying,” among others.
香蕉上有比如“永不放弃”，“你很聪明!”和“继续努力”这样的鼓励信息。
Truman told WTKR, “Most of [the messages] I came up with myself because I would just think about what you would tell a kid or what you would want to hear yourself.”
杜鲁门告诉WTKR电视台:“大多数信息是我自己想的，因为我会思考你会对孩子说什么，或者你自己想听什么。”
Truman’s sweet gesture did not just have an impact on the children, however. School principal Sharon Shewbridge saw the bananas and posted a picture of the fruit on Twitter, where it started receiving viral attention.
然而，杜鲁门的甜言蜜语不仅对孩子们产生了影响，学校校长莎伦.雪布里奇也看到了这些香蕉，并在推特上发布了一张香蕉的照片，受到疯狂关注。
“[Truman]’s almost embarrassed about all the attention,” Shewbridge tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “She just wanted it to be anonymous. But I said this is so simple and amazing — and it has such an impact on kids.”
雪布里奇告诉雅虎生活：“(杜鲁门)对所有的关注都感到尴尬，她只想匿名。但我觉得这件事如此简单神奇，对孩子有如此大的影响。
“It’s simple, but these words can help them be more courageous and realize that they are good enough,” Shewbridge added to Yahoo. “I hope that other schools see it’s an easy way to get a kind message to kids.”
雪布里奇补充说:“这件事很简单，但这些话可以帮助他们变得更勇敢，并意识到自己足够优秀。我希望其他学校看到，这是向孩子传达友好信息的一种简单方式。”
