Question

英语短文
several years ago,while,attending a communication course,I experienced a most unusual process.The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt guilty about,or regretted.The next week he invited participants to read their lists aloud.This seemed like a very private matter,but there’s always some brave soul in the crowd who will volunteer.As people read their lists,mine grew longer.After three weeks,I had 101 items on my list.The instructor then suggested that we find ways to apologize to people,or take some action to right any wrongdoing.I was seriously wondering how this could ever improve my communications.
The next week ,the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story:
"while making my list,I remenbered an incident from high school.I grew up in a small town in lowa.There was a police officer in the town that none of us kids liked.one night, my two friends and I decided to play a trick on the officer,Brown.After drinking a few beers, we found a can of red paint, climed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote, on the tank in bright red letters:Sheriff Brown is a big fool.The next day,the town arose to see our sign.Within two hours,Brown had my two pales and me in his office.My friends confessed and I lied, denying the truth.No one ever found out.
"Nearly twenty years later,Brown’s name appears on my list.I didn’t even know if he was still alive.Last weekend,I dialed infomation in my hometown back in lowa.Sure enough, there was a Roger Brown still listed.I dialed his number.After a few rings, ‘Hello?’I said,‘Mr Brown?’Pause.‘Yeah.’‘well,this is Jimmy Calkins.And I want you to know that I did it .’Pause.‘I knew it.’he said.We had a good laugh and a lively discussion.His clothing words were,‘I always felt bad for you bcause your friends got it off their chest, and I knew you were carring it around all these years...’”
Jimmy inspired me to clear up all 101 items on my list.It took me almost two years, but became the true inspiration for my career as a conflict mediator. No matter how difficult the conflict,crisis or situation is, I always remember that is never too late to clear up the past and make a new start.
这篇文章的主要内容是什么？？？？？？？？？？？？？？帮帮忙

Answer 1

其实可以帮你全翻译的,这篇文章很简单,讲的是作者曾经参加了一个很特殊的交流会,主办人要求所有参与者把自己曾经的过失,自己曾经感觉到很愧疚很对不起别人的地方写下来,列个单子,然后再大声朗读出来,并且要去弥补这些过错,作者认为这是隐私,起初对这件事情很不理解,但是有的人却很勇敢,大声的读了出来,是坐在作者旁边的人,他讲了他小时侯戏弄了一个警察,在被询问时还和同伴撒了谎,过了这么多年,他感觉很愧疚,但是不知道那个警察是否还活着,经过这次交流会,他鼓气了勇气,给那个警察打了电话,那个警察还活着,他向那个警察坦白了小时侯的过错,事实上警察早就知道真相,但没有怪那个男人,反而担心这个男人心里一直放不下这件事
最后,在鼓励下,作者要决心忏悔并且弥补曾经的过错,并深刻认识到,无论多么困难的条件下,亡羊补牢，为时未晚.
