Let Kids Walk to the School 讓孩子步行上學(xué)
These days, inNanjingcity, taking a taxi to school is getting more and more fashionable amongmiddle-school students. Some of them are children of businessmen who arerelatively well-off. The parents of these children claim they can earn muchmoney easily and the yearly taxi fees spent by children mean nothing to them.But most parents must work very hard---some even have to find a second job toafford their children’s high consumption.
近日，在南京中學(xué)生打的去上學(xué)的現(xiàn)象越來(lái)越成為一種潮流。他們有的是相當(dāng)富有的商人子女。這些孩子的父母聲稱他們賺錢容易，孩子每年乘坐出租車的費(fèi)用對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)不算什么。但是大部分的家長(zhǎng)必須努力工作，有的甚至不得不兼職第二份工作以供孩子的高消費(fèi)。
Parents’ love for their children is natural andunderstandable. They are not willing to let their children take the crowdedbuses and endure hardships of a long time bump. But this practice seems to domore harm than good to these kids. It is not simply a question of taking a taxi,it involves the parents’ education of their children in terms of charactercultivating and physical training in the making of a man. In my opinion, nomatter how wealthy a family is, they should not spoil their children in theprocess of personality development. Instead, they should do something to tempertheir children to endure hardship and torture of life and get self-dependent.They should let their children bear in mind that money does not come easily andanything cannot be achieved without sweat and tears. So they should not takeeverything for granted.
家長(zhǎng)愛(ài)孩子是天經(jīng)地義也是可以理解的。他們不愿意讓孩子乘坐擁擠的公車，忍受長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的顛簸。但是這一實(shí)踐帶給孩子的壞處似乎多于好處。這不僅僅只是打的的問(wèn)題，它涉及了家長(zhǎng)對(duì)孩子們?nèi)烁袼茉爝^(guò)程中培養(yǎng)個(gè)性和鍛煉身體的教育。在我看來(lái)，不管一個(gè)家庭多富有，他們都不應(yīng)該在個(gè)性發(fā)展的過(guò)程中溺愛(ài)孩子。他們反而應(yīng)該做些什么來(lái)鍛煉孩子忍受生活中的痛苦和折磨從而變得自立。他們應(yīng)該讓孩子們牢記錢來(lái)之不易，沒(méi)有什么是不需要汗水和淚水就可以得到的。因此他們就不應(yīng)該認(rèn)為一切都是理所當(dāng)然的。
Our younger generations should have a comprehensivedevelopment, intellectually, physically and ethically. At present, it issurprising that moral education and character training for children are oftenignored. Let’s remember what Helen Keller, a blindUSwriter, says, “Character cannotbe developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and sufferingcan the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and successachieved.”
我們這年輕的一代應(yīng)該德智體美全面發(fā)展。令人驚訝的是現(xiàn)在人們常常忽視了對(duì)孩子的道德教育和性格培養(yǎng)。讓我們牢記美國(guó)作家海倫凱勒說(shuō)的：“在安逸和平靜中，人格是無(wú)法發(fā)展的。只有透過(guò)磨難和痛苦，靈魂才能健壯，異象才能看清，雄心才能激揚(yáng)，成功才能達(dá)到�！�
怎樣解決嚴(yán)重的交通問(wèn)題？ How to Solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic
Nowadays, many citizens are complaining about the heavy traffic. It has seriously influenced people’s daily life and social development. To solve this problem, some suggestions has been put forward.
如今，很多市民都抱怨繁忙的交通問(wèn)題。它已經(jīng)嚴(yán)重影響了人們的日常生活和社會(huì)發(fā)展。為了解決這一問(wèn)題，有的人提出了一些建議。
Some people suggest building more streets and roads to reduce traffic density. It really works in the beginning, but before long, these new streets and roads are full filled with more cars. Some others advise to limit the amount of bikes and cars to decrease the traffic flow. It does work in a short time. But this measure will affect the consumption and make buses more crowded. In addition, the needs for bikes and cars can only be much more with the development of society.
有的人建議建更多的街道和道路以減少交通密度。剛開(kāi)始真的能起到作用，但是不久以后，這些新的街道和道路就會(huì)擠滿更多的車。其他人建議限制自行車和汽車的數(shù)量以減少交通流量。這在短期內(nèi)是起不到什么作用的。但是這一措施會(huì)影響消費(fèi)，使公車更擁擠。另外，隨著社會(huì)的發(fā)展，汽車和自行車的需求只會(huì)更多。
In my opinion, people should be encouraged to take public transportation and people should keep this view in mind. Furthermore, the government should accelerate the development of subway and urban railway to establish a comprehensive urban transport system.
在我看來(lái)，應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)人們乘坐公共交通，人們應(yīng)該牢記這一觀念。而且，政府應(yīng)該加快地鐵和市內(nèi)鐵路的發(fā)展，建立綜合的城市交通系統(tǒng)。
My view on school uniform 我對(duì)校服的看法
At our school , we have to wear uniforms every day. The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly. We think young people should look smart and so we would like to wear our own clothes. Our teachers believe that if we did that. We would concentrate more on our clothes than our studies. We disagree. We should feel more comfortable and thate is good for studying. If we can’t do that, we should be allowed to design our own uniforms. We also think everyone should be different from others. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy.
在我們學(xué)校，我們必須每天穿校服。問(wèn)題是我所有的同學(xué)都認(rèn)為校服很丑。我們認(rèn)為年輕人應(yīng)該看起來(lái)聰明，所以我們想穿自己的衣服。我們的老師相信如果我們那樣做。我們會(huì)把更多的精力放在衣服上而不是學(xué)習(xí)。我們不同意。我們應(yīng)該感覺(jué)更舒服，那個(gè)是好的研究。如果我們不能那樣做，我們應(yīng)該被允許設(shè)計(jì)自己的校服。我們也認(rèn)為每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該與別人不同。這將是一個(gè)好辦法讓老師和學(xué)生都高興的。
關(guān)于上學(xué)方式 The Way to School
I live near my school. So, I walk to school every day by myself. But some of my classmates have to take bus, by bike and so on. I am proud of myself at that time. Every morning, my mother wakes me up and then I wash my face I start my walking trip after having breakfast. I have to walk for ten minutes to school. Every morning the birds will walk in the sky with me. After school, I walk home with the sunset together.
我住在學(xué)校附近。所以，每天我都是自己走路上學(xué)的.�？墒俏乙恍┩瑢W(xué)卻要坐公共汽車，或者騎自行車等。對(duì)于這一點(diǎn)，我為自己感到驕傲。每天早上，我媽媽把我叫醒，然后我洗臉。吃完早餐后我就開(kāi)始我的步行之旅。我要走十分鐘的路才到學(xué)校。每天早晨，天上的鳥(niǎo)兒都會(huì)和我一起走。放學(xué)后，我和夕陽(yáng)一起步行回家。
名校校園旅游 School campus tourism
One can always find visitors taking pictures and enjoying the scenery in university compus. During the May Day Holiday,National Day Holiday,summer and winter vacations,many University campuses become popular tourist sites. In my opinion,university campus should be open to tourists. In fact,there are many royal gardens and parks,all of them obviously better than the scenery in the Universities. Why do you think people prefer visiting here with their children? That is because it is a dream goal for many Chinese parents and young ambitious students. Besides this,as more tourists come to visit universities,these universities can widen their influence as well and they can also make some profit from the tourism. In a word,I think the university campus should be open to the tourists.
一個(gè)總能找到游客拍照,享受大學(xué)校園的風(fēng)景。國(guó)慶假期,五一假期期間,寒暑假,許多大學(xué)校園成為受歡迎的旅游景點(diǎn)。在我看來(lái),大學(xué)校園應(yīng)該對(duì)游客開(kāi)放。事實(shí)上,有許多皇家園林和公園,他們顯然比大學(xué)的風(fēng)景。為什么你認(rèn)為人們喜歡和孩子參觀這里嗎?那是因?yàn)樗且粋�(gè)夢(mèng)想的目標(biāo)對(duì)于許多中國(guó)父母和年輕的雄心勃勃的學(xué)生。除此之外,隨著更多的游客來(lái)參觀大學(xué),這些大學(xué)可以擴(kuò)大他們的影響力,他們也可以做一些從旅游中獲利。總之,我認(rèn)為大學(xué)校園應(yīng)該對(duì)游客開(kāi)放。
The Disadvantages of Private Cars 關(guān)于私家車的弊端
As cars are more affordable nowadays, thenumber of private car owners spurs. With cars, we can go anywhere anytime wewant. However, for the sake of protecting our environmentand of the public travelling convenience, it is a bad news.
當(dāng)今，由于很多人都能買得起車，所以擁有私家車的人數(shù)猛增。有了車，我們可以在任何時(shí)候到任何我們想去的地方。但是，對(duì)于保護(hù)環(huán)境和公眾出行方便方面來(lái)說(shuō)，這無(wú)疑是一個(gè)壞消息。
First, more private cars mean more pollution.As the number of private cars increases sharply, the off gas surges.Consequently, the air quality is decreasing and even affects our health. Inconsideration of our environment and our health, I don’t think private carsbring us good to both our planet’s environment and our health.
首先，私家車越多，就會(huì)產(chǎn)生越多的污染。由于私家車數(shù)量猛增，汽車尾氣排放量也隨之驟增。結(jié)果，空氣質(zhì)量越來(lái)越差，甚至影響到我們的身體健康。考慮到保護(hù)環(huán)境以及為了我們的身體健康，我認(rèn)為私家車不會(huì)對(duì)我們的地球環(huán)境和我們的身體健康產(chǎn)生有利的影響。
Second, people are tending to drive carsthemselves going to work so that the traffic jam is serious in most cities. Wheneveryou go and look around in cities, you can see lots of cars not only parking alongthe road but also runs on the street. Especially around morning and evening,you can hardly move a step if you drive a car because of the heavy traffic. Nomatter how many roads the government has built, without lessening the number ofthe private cars, the need for road is always bigger than the supplied.Therefore, the most effective way is to encourage people take public transportationso that we can facilitate ourselves and also others.
其次，人們傾向于開(kāi)私家車去上班，這導(dǎo)致了大多數(shù)城市交通擁堵。不管任何時(shí)候，只要你到城市逛一圈，就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)不僅路邊停了很多車，而且路上也有大量的車流量。特別是在早上和傍晚的時(shí)候，如果你駕車出行的話，由于交通非常擁擠，你開(kāi)車寸步難行。如果不減少私家車數(shù)量的話，不管政府建設(shè)多少條道路，總是不能緩解交通擁堵現(xiàn)象。所以，最有效的方式就是鼓勵(lì)人們乘坐公共交通方式出行，這樣的話不僅能夠方便我們自己，也能方便他人。
All in all, private cars are so convenientfor us to getting around. However, take our air environment, our health and theconvenience of public life into account; we shouldn’t encourage people to buymore private cars. Instead, we should persuade people to take public transportationas often as possible to make our environment better and better.
總之，私家車是能夠?yàn)槲覀兂鲂刑峁┍憷�。但是，考慮到我們的環(huán)境，我們的身體健康以及公眾生活的便利，我們不提倡人們買更多的私家車。相反，我們應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)人們盡可能多的乘坐公共交通方式出行，以此來(lái)使我們的環(huán)境更加好。
