Recently, a software named Weibo is very popular, people can share their personal information and keep an eye on someone they are interested. Most people get used to it, they can’t move their eyes away from it. Don’t let the Internet control your life.
在中国,QQ是人们在网上交流的第一代工具,但是随着科技的发展,出现了越来越多的网络交流工具。最近,一款叫微博的软件大受欢迎,人们可以分享个人信息,随时关注他们感兴趣的人。大部分人习惯了微博,他们无法离开微博。不要让网络控制了你的生活。
When you are waiting for the bus, if the bus is not coming, you may look around the people around you, you can find that most of them are lower their heads, watching their cell phones. The young generation likes to refresh Weibo so as to keep in touch with the newest amusement. They are addicted to the technological products, ignoring things around them.
当你在等巴士的时候,如果巴士还没到,你可以看看你周围的人,你会发现大部分人在低着头,眼睛盯着手机。年轻一代喜欢刷新微博,以便能看到最新的娱乐新闻。他们沉溺于科技产品,忽视周围的事物。
Many years ago, it was predicted that the robot would take place of human being, actually it won’t, but it seems that the technological products will. People should control the time of using such product, just raise your head, the world is much interesting than the Internet world. So don’t let Weibo control your life.
很多年前,人们预言机器人将会取代人类,事实上没有,但是似乎科技产品会取代人类。人们应该控制使用这类产品的时间,抬起你的头,世界比网络世界有趣多了。所有不要让微博控制了你的生活。
It has been obvious that Chinese economy develops very fast because of the policy of reform and open. More and more people get rich, they can buy what they want, as people’s life standard improves, people begin to chase after material, they use the money to buy brand, just to enjoy the feeling of spending money. The money should be spent in a reasonable way.
很显然的,中国的经济发展很快,因为改革开放的政策。越来越多的人变得富有,他们可以买自己想要的,随着人们生活水平的提高,人们开始追求物质,他们用钱来买牌子,仅仅是为了享受花钱的感觉。然而钱应该花得合理点。
When we listen to the young people, we can find that they care about the brand so much. For boys, they talk about the cars, they get to know every brand of the car and judge people according to the price. For girls, they like to make up, they talk about the clothes’ brand, they like to compare with each other in a way of comparing the clothes’ price.
当我们聆听年轻人的时候,我们可以发现他们很在意牌子。对于男孩子来说,他们谈论车子,了解车子的每个牌子,根据价格来判断人。对于女孩子来说,她们喜欢化妆,谈论衣服的牌子,她们喜欢通过比较衣服的价格来彼此攀比。
When people get rich, they want to use the money to buy the enjoyable feeling, brand is the best way to show their status, so people will chase after the brand. But they always get in the trap of chasing after the brand blindly, they can use the money in the reasonable way.
当人们变得富裕,他们想要通过使用钱来买享受的感觉,牌子是显示他们地位的最好方式,所以人们会追求牌子。但是他们总是陷入了盲目追求牌子的陷阱,他们可以通过合理方式来消费金钱。
Though with much money, people don’t have to buy the expensive thing to show off themselves, with less money, they still can buy the things as good as the brand.
虽然有很多钱,但是人们没有必要去买贵的东西来炫耀自己,即使钱没那么多,他们仍然可以买到和牌子一样好的东西。
In Chinese tradition, it is a great merit for people to be frugal. Our parents have gone through the hard time when our country’s economy is not good. So they get used to be economical about everything. When the situation gets better, they still live in the old way. To improve lifestyle, they can think about giving up living the old style.
在中国的传统中,节俭是一种伟大的美德。我们的父母经历了国家经济状况低迷的困难时期。所以他们养成了节俭的习惯。形势有所好转后,他们仍然过着同样的日子。为了改善生活方式,他们可以考虑放弃旧的生活方式。
When I was very small, my parents educated me all the time that I should not waste money, so I always compared the prices before I made bargain, in the purpose of paying in the lowest price. But as I grow up and make money by my own, I start to consider about whether being frugal is best for me. For example, I want to buy a brand watch, which is very suitable for me, while there is another watch that is much cheaper and I don’t like it. My parents must take the latter one. ButI decide to buy the one I like, because it worths.
在我很小的时候我父母就教育我不要浪费钱,所以,为了能以最低价格购买到商品,我总是会在购买前对比价格。但是我长大后开始自己赚钱了,就开始考虑节俭对我来说是否是最好的。例如,我想买一块非常适合我的品牌手表,但是另一块手表却便宜很多,可是我不喜欢。我父母肯定会选择后者。但是我会买我喜欢的那个,因为值得。
The old generation gets used to the poor days and they don’t realize the necessity of chasing a better lifestyle. When life gets better, it is reasonable to spend money to enjoy a comfortable life.
老一代习惯了贫穷的生活,他们没有意识到追求更好生活方式的必要性。当生活有所好转,花钱享受舒适的生活是合理的。
Be Yourself
做你自己
In every school a “top” crowd sets the pace, while the others follow their lead.Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people a bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher.
每个学校都有“领头”的人群集,而其他人则跟着他们的领导。一旦这些领头学生决定以穿鲜红色羊毛衫为时尚,很快大家都穿红色的毛衣。这样是没有错的,但事实上有些人穿鲜红的毛衣是极不相称的。这种情况甚至会变得危险,如果领头学生决定喝酒或者每小时七十英里的速度开车是明智的。那些跟随领头学生的人就是在浪费自己的生命。他们就像被领到屠夫前的羊群。
Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, “No.”
现在,你很有可能在你的生活不止一次遇到这样的情况;可能你时不时也会做一些你知道是错的事情。你可能会为自己开脱说,“哎呀,大家都这样做。“嗯,让大家去做,但你自己不要做。学会说,“不。”
Develop your own standards and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree with, have the courage to bow out politely. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet. Remember this in your heart, you are the unique one in the world, just be yourself.
要有自己的标准和判断。如果你知道大家正在计划一件你不赞成的事情,要勇气有礼貌地退出。你会以坚持自己的意愿而自豪的。请记住,你在这世界上是独一无二的,只要做你自己。
In general, a girl with pretty face must be popular all the time. Everyone believe that a pretty girl will always be the winner. While the fact is not true sometimes. Many homely girls win the handsome boy’s hearts and that’s the common situation. It is the girl’s attitude to life that makes her charming.
一般来说,一个有漂亮脸蛋的女孩一定是受欢迎的。每个人都认为,一个漂亮的女孩永远是赢家。而事实有时并不是如此。许多平凡的女孩赢得了帅哥的心,这是常见的情形。正是女孩对生活态度,使她充满了魅力。
Though most girls are not born with nature beauty, they love life and make themselves attractive all the time. They live the healthy lifestyle. They less stay up and pay special attention to the meal. Breakfast will not be missed no matter how busy they are. When they are not busy, they will learn to make some food and enjoy casual time.
尽管大多数女孩不是与生俱来就长得好看,但是她们热爱生活,让自己看起来迷人。她们过着健康的生活方式。几乎不怎么熬夜,对吃的特别注意。早餐是不会错过的,不管她们有多忙。不忙时,她们会学着去做一些食物,享受休闲时光。
They do not follow fashion. They have their own dressing style. It is important for girls to make up, even though people say beautiful soul is beyond everything. While dressing well can reflect a girl’s confidence and her charm. People will remember her at first sight for her special temperament.
她们不跟随时尚。她们有自己的穿衣风格。化妆对女孩子来说是很重要的,尽管人们说美丽的心灵是超越了一切。虽然穿着得体可以反映出女孩的自信和她的魅力。人们会一眼记得她,因为她特殊的气质。
Beautiful face indeed brings many advantages, but only the characteristic makes a person stand out.
美丽的脸蛋确实带来了很多优势,但是只有性格才能让一个人脱颖而出。
I agree that sometimes people have to do thingsthat they don't enjoy doing, but it is a basic part of being an adult. Meanwhile,we have to agree that some things that are not fun are still good for us in thelong run.
我觉得有时候人们不得不做一些他们不喜欢做的事情,但这却又是作为一个成年人的基本要求。同时,从长远来看我们不得不承认这些让人不喜欢的事情对我们也是有好处的。
Firstly,take personal tasks for example. Who enjoy going to the hospital? There are veryfew people enjoy going to hospital. Most of them go to the hospital justbecause they are sick and have to do it. Not a lot of people enjoy changing theoil in their car or doing housework. These are many things we do just becausewe have to, not because we want to. If we do not change the oil in our cars,our cars won't run; and if we do not do housework, our houses will be messy.
首先,拿我们的私人事情来举例。有谁喜欢去医院?很少有人喜欢去医院。大部分人去医院只是因为他们病了,不得不去医院治病而已。很少有人喜欢给他们的车加汽油或者做家务。我们做这些事情只是因为我们必须要做,而不是因为我们想要做。如果我们不给汽车加油,我们的车子就启动不了;如果我们不做家务,我们的房间就会乱糟糟的。
Secondly, professional tasks are another goodexample. We don't like to stuck with a boring assignment or be told that wehave to work with a person unpopular. When working in our company, sometimes wehave to put up with unfair criticism from the supervisor or some unpleasanttasks that our supervisor asking us to complete. All these things are not fun,but we have to do just because we need this job to earn our living.
其次,我们的工作也是很好的例子。我们不会喜欢做令人厌烦的工作,不会喜欢被迫跟讨厌的人一起共事。但当我们在公司工作时,有时候我就得忍受上级不公平的批评,忍受上级指派讨厌的工作任务。但是我们必须做因为我们需要工作来挣生活费。
Besides, something that we don’t like to do can befound out to be interesting. For instance, a person, who do not like dancing,agree his friend to join a club. He may find himself enjoying dancing after it.
另外,我们会发现那些我们不喜欢做的事情也可以是挺有意思的。例如,一个不喜欢跳舞的人,他答应朋友一起参加舞蹈俱乐部,之后他没准会发现自己喜欢上了跳舞。
Doing those things that we do not like is quite unpleasant;however, it is a part of our life.
去做那些我们不喜欢做的事情固然不是很开心,但是这也是生活的一部分嘛。
