The set of drawings above vividly depict the destiny of a flower in different circumstances. As is shown in the first cartoon, the flower is growing in full bloom in a comfortable greenhouse that shelters it from the threatening lightning and storm. On the contrary, when removed from the greenhouse and exposed to the driving rain, the flower soon fades and withers.
The delicate flower is naturally associated with young people, to be specific, the only children in our current society; the greenhouse epitomizes parents’ doting care and abundant material supplies that can shield the children from the storms, or the harsh reality. Once the young people begin to seek independence and accept challenges from the real world, they are found too spoiled to be strong enough in the face of difficulties.
Accordingly, it is vital for us to derive positive implications from these thought-provoking drawings. Only by undergoing more challenges and toils in adversity can young people cultivate strong personality and ability, and only in this way can they become winners in this competitive world.
參考譯文
上述這組圖生動描述了一朵鮮花在不同環(huán)境中的命運。如第一幅漫畫所示,這朵鮮花正在舒適的溫室裡充分綻放,溫室保護它免於可怕的閃電和風(fēng)雨。相反,當(dāng)被搬出溫室並暴露在風(fēng)雨之下時,鮮花很快就凋謝枯萎了。
這朵嬌弱的鮮花自然和我們的年輕人聯(lián)系起來,具體而言,就是當(dāng)代社會的獨生子女。溫室是保護孩子免受風(fēng)雨的父母溺愛和優(yōu)越物質(zhì)條件的縮影,而風(fēng)雨就是嚴峻的現(xiàn)實。一旦年輕人開始尋求獨立並且接受來自現(xiàn)實世界的挑戰(zhàn),人們發(fā)現(xiàn)他們已經(jīng)被慣壞了,在困難面前無法足夠堅強。
總之,我們很有必要從這些發(fā)人深思的圖畫中得出積極的含義。隻有經(jīng)歷更多的挑戰(zhàn)和磨練,年輕人才能培養(yǎng)強大的個性和能力,而且隻有這樣他們才能成為這個競爭世界中的強者。
