翻译一段英文阅读题
    As a young man,Al was a skilled artist,a potter (陶工). He had a wife and two
fine sons. One night, his elder son developed a serious stomachache. Thinking it was
only some common disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously.
But it was actually acute appendicitis (急性阑尾炎), and the boy died suddenly that
night.
     Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness
of the situation, Al's emotional health deteriorated (恶化) under the burden of his guilt.
To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his
sixyearold younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could
handle,and he turned to alcohol to help him cope. In time Al became an alcoholic (酒鬼).
     As the alcoholism progressed,Al began to lose everything he possessed-his home, his
land and his art objects. Eventually Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.
     When I heard of Al's death,I reacted with the same disdain (蔑视) the world shows for
one who ends his life with nothing to show for it. "What a complete failure!" I thought. "What
a totally wasted life!"
     As time went by, I began to reevaluate my earlier judgment. I knew Al's now adult son,
Ernie. He has grown into one of the kindest, most caring and most loving men I have ever
known. I watched Emie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew
that kindness and consideration had to come from somewhere.

作为一个年轻人,AI 曾是一个有能力的艺术家,陶工.他有一个妻子和两个好儿子.一天晚上,他的大儿子得了很严重的胃痛.他们以为只是普通的小问题,不论AI或他的妻子都没有正视这个问题.实际上那是急性阑尾炎,那男孩在那晚上突然就去世了.
在知道如果当时自己认识到了问题的严重性,自己儿子的死其实是可以避免的,AI的心理健康被罪恶感压垮,恶化了.更加雪上加霜的是,不久之后他的妻子离开了他让他独自照顾6岁的小儿子.这两件事情造成的痛苦已经超过了AI所能承受的,他用酒精帮助他解决.很快AI变成了酒鬼.
随着AI酗酒症状的发展,他开始失去所有他曾经拥有的-他的家,他的土地和他的艺术作品.最后AI独自死在了旧金山的汽车旅馆房间.
当我听到AI的死讯时,我给出了和全世界一样对一个无所作为的终结自己生命的人的藐视.“这是多么彻底的失败”我想“这是多么彻底的浪费生命”.
时间过去了,我开始重新考虑我早时的批判.我认识了AI已经长大成人的儿子Ernie.他已成长为我认识的所有人当中一个最亲切,最有同情心和最热心的男人.我看着Ernie和他的孩子们,爱流淌在他们之间.我意识到礼貌与尊敬一定是来自于哪里的.
自己打的好辛苦,
