6月12日上午8时，在同济医学院社区，一位精神矍铄的老人来到社区心理咨询服务中心，和几名患者电话确定次日咨询的具体时间。他就是华中科技大学同济医学院退休英语教授田书桐，79岁高龄时“转型”学习心理咨询，在高校、社区等开工作室，免费心理咨询，一干就是20年。6月13日，田书桐教授迎来100岁生日，生日这天他依然安排工作。他说：“只要能干下去，还想继续发光发热”。

On the morning of June 12, at the community counseling center of Tongji Medical College, a spirited elderly man arrived and made phone calls with several patients to confirm the specific time for their consultations the next day. He is Professor Tian Shutong, a retired English professor from Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. At the age of 79, Professor Tianmade a “transition” to study counselingpsychologyand set up studios in universities and communities to provide free counseling, which he has been doing for 20 years. On June 13, Professor Tian celebratedhis 100th birthday, and even on that day, he still hadwork arrangements. He said, “I want to make the most of my remaining years as long as I am capable”.

From an English Professor to a Counseling Psychologist

6月13日，是田书桐教授100岁的生日。11日下午，他的学生、武汉儿童医院院长周爱芬教授和其他同学一起，给老师提前送上生日祝福。

On June 13th, Professor Tian celebrated his 100th birthday. On the afternoon of June 11th, his students, including Professor Zhou Aifen, director of Wuhan Childrens Hospital, sent their birthday wishes in advance to the professor.

6月12日下午，*目新闻记者来到田老的心理咨询服务中心，它位于同济医学院社区的一栋平房内。门外挂着牌子，留有预约电话。初见田老，他笑容和煦，虽然13日是他的百岁生日，但除了安排和家人简单吃顿饭外，他的大部分时间还是留给了几位预约心理咨询的患者。

On the afternoon of June 12th, a reporter from JIMU News visited Professor Tians counseling center, which is located in a single-story house in the community of Tongji Medical College. A sign with a reservation phone number hung outside the door. Upon meeting Professor Tian, he had a warm and welcoming smile. Although the next day would be his 100th birthday, apart from a simple meal with his family, he dedicated most of his time to a few patients who had made appointments.

“我在高校一直教英语，退休后因为兴趣，又学起了心理咨询。”说起自己的经历，田书桐教授笑称“挺有意思的”。1952年，田老大学毕业后在同济医学院当英语老师直到退休。2002年，79岁的田老“跨行”去学心理学。

“I have been teaching English at the university, and after retiring, I started studying psychology out of interest,” said Professor Tian with a smile. “Its quite interesting,” he added. After graduating from university in 1952, Professor Tian worked as an English teacher at Tongji Medical College until his retirement. In 2002, at the age of 79, he devoted himself to the field of psychology.

当时，班上的同学有田老曾经教过的学生，讲台上老师也有他的弟子。2003年，他以优异成绩毕业，拿到高级心理咨询师资格证书。

At that time, some of his classmates and even teacherswere studentsthat Professor Tianhad earlier taught. In 2003, he graduated with excellent results and obtained a certificate as a senior counseling psychologist.

自此之后，八旬的田书桐教授开始了心理咨询之路，先后在同济医学院、武汉儿童医院、同济医学院社区开工作室，免费为大家咨询，一转眼已有二十个年头。

Since then, Professor Tian, in his eighties, embarked on a new career in counselingpsychology. He successively opened studios at Tongji Medical College, Wuhan Childrens Hospital, and Tongji Medical College Community, providing free counseling. In the blink of an eye, it has since been twenty years.

他解心结的方式很特别

His unique ways of resolvingpsychological problems

田书桐教授做心理咨询，有自己的一套心得：少套一些心理理论，多交心、解开患者的心结。

Professor Tian has his own set of insights into providing counseling: usefewer psychology theories and focus more on building trust and helping patients resolve their inner conflicts.

当天，*目新闻记者在咨询室的一角看到，大书柜上整齐摆放着各种关于心理学的书籍，大部分是英文版的。“这都是我珍藏的宝贝，里面关于国际前沿的心理学理论和实践，是支撑我搞心理咨询的底气。”田老告诉*目新闻记者，只要闲下来，他最爱的就是看书。

On that day, the JIMU News reporter noticed a neatly arranged collection of psychology books on a large bookshelf in the counseling room, with the majority of them being English editions. “These are my cherished treasures. They contain the cutting-edge international theories and practices in psychology, which provide me with the confidence to engage in counseling,” Professor Tian explained to the reporter, adding that reading books is one of his favorite pastimes whenever he has free time.

有意思的是，田老的英语在心理辅导时也派上了用场，帮助青少年走出心理阴霾，有些孩子因此成为“学霸”。

Interestingly, Professor Tians English skills also come in handy during his counseling sessions, helping adolescents overcome challenges with their mental health. Some of the children even excelled academically as a result of his counseling.

多年前，一个患多动症的男孩被家长送来咨询，他在学校调皮捣蛋，还有厌学情绪。田老不说教，带着男孩练英语听力、对口语。男孩的英语成绩突飞猛进，人也自信了，渐渐从抑郁情绪中走了出来。如今，男孩已成为“学霸”，在英国爱丁堡大学读书。

Several years ago, a boy with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was brought to Professor Tian for counseling. He was mischievous and had a strong aversion to studying at school. Instead of lecturing him, Professor Tian engaged the boy in English listening and speaking exercises. With his English improving greatly, the boy became more confident and gradually recovered from his depression. Today, the boy, now a straight-A student, is studying at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom.

每天工作很拼

Working Hard Everyday

百岁老人享受成就感

A Centenarian Enjoys a Sense of Fulfillment

田老感慨，他每天8时从家走到咨询工作室“开工”，忙起来时下班没个准点。前来探望的学生心疼地说，“您都百岁了，干嘛还这么拼？”

Professor Tian said that he starts work at the counseling office every day at 8 oclock and has no fixed time for getting off work when he is busy. A student who came to visit him expressed concern and said, “Youre already a hundred years old, why do you still work so hard?”

“工作时会心情愉悦，这是我长寿的秘诀，哪怕干到最后一天我也会坚持。”田老笑说，这份成就感让他很满足。

“When Im working, I feel joyful, and thats my secret to longevity. I will dedicate the rest of my life to working,” said Professor Tian with a smile. He expressed that this sense of achievement brought him great satisfaction.

为了方便每天往来咨询室，田老放弃了更好的居住环境，住在了老校区的房子里；因为年纪大了，田老眼睛早已看不清，他找资料时只能借助放大镜当“眼镜”；因为心理疗愈时需要“话疗”抚慰，几个小时下来喉咙嘶哑，他的桌上常年备一盒咽喉片……

To facilitate his daily commute to the counseling room, Professor Tian gave up a better living environment and chose to live on the old campus. Due to his advanced age, Professor Tians eyesight has deteriorated, and he relies on a magnifying glass as “glasses” when searching for materials. During counseling sessions, which require talking and consoling patients, his throat becomes hoarse after a few hours, so he always keeps a box of throat lozenges on his desk throughout the year.

这些看不见的“牺牲”，田老很坦然。他寄语年轻人，“和勤奋干工作的成就感比起来，这些都算不了什么，‘No Sacrifice，No Success’（没有牺牲，就没有成功）。”

Professor Tian is optimistic about these unseen “sacrifices”. His message to the younger generation is, “Compared to the sense of accomplishment that comes from working diligently, all the difficulties one faces are nothing. No Sacrifice, No Success.”

6月12日，田书桐教授的学生、武汉儿童医院院长周爱芬接受记者采访时说，田老好学敬业的精神，为后辈们和当下年轻人“打样”，他在不断追求中实现了自我价值。

On June 12th, Professor Tians student, Zhou Aifen, the director of Wuhan Childrens Hospital, mentioned in an interview, “Professor Tians eagerness for learning and dedication to working set an example for younger generations. Through his continuous pursuit, he has realized his self-worth.”
