不易之定理。 懶惰是勤勉的反面。它是萬(wàn)惡之源泉。一個(gè)懶惰的人只享受玩耍和尋樂(lè)。他命運(yùn)注定失敗是毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)的。我們不應(yīng)學(xué)他的榜樣。Lesson 11 HOW TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN 如何做一個(gè)好公民My aim is to bee a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the country. However, to bee a good citizen is not an easy thing. He has many duties to fulfill. The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. He must be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country. His second duty is to obey the law and help the government (to) maintain order. If everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong (powerful). 我的志向是做一個(gè)好公民以便能給國(guó)家效力。然而,做一個(gè)好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有許多責(zé)任要盡。 一個(gè)好公民第一件責(zé)任是愛(ài)他的國(guó)家。他須準(zhǔn)備為國(guó)家犧牲自己的生命。 他第二件責(zé)任是服從法律并且?guī)椭S持治安。如果人人都能這樣做的話,國(guó)家必定富強(qiáng)。Lesson 12 HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何獲得快樂(lè) There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points. First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life. Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress. 無(wú)疑的快樂(lè)是世界上最寶貴的東西。沒(méi)有它,人生將是空虛的而且毫無(wú)意義的。如果你希望知道如何獲得快樂(lè),你須注意下面兩點(diǎn)。 健康是快樂(lè)的要訣。唯有身體強(qiáng)壯的人才能享受人生的樂(lè)趣。 快樂(lè)在于知足。一個(gè)不滿于現(xiàn)狀的人終是處在痛苦之中。Lesson 13 KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 知識(shí)就是力量 If we have no knowledge, we cannot succeed in doing any work. Why? Because knowledge is power. With knowledge we have conquered nature and invented steamers, trains and airplanes. We can send messages by telegram. We can talk with our friends by telephone. As is well known, we students are the future masters of the nation. She needs us very much. If we do not make efforts to acquire knowledge, how can we render service to her ? 如果我們沒(méi)有知識(shí),我們就不能做成功任何事情。為什么?因?yàn)橹R(shí)就是力量。馮藉知識(shí)我們征服了大自然,并且發(fā)明了輪船,火車與飛機(jī)。我們能用電報(bào)傳遞消息。我們能用電話和朋友談話。如眾所周知,我們學(xué)生都是國(guó)家未來(lái)的主人翁。她非常需要我們。如果我們不努力去獲得知識(shí),將來(lái)如何來(lái)報(bào)效她呢?Lesson 14 MONEY 錢 Everybody wishes to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live without it. For this reason, we have an interesting proverb. It says “Money can make the world go around.” In a word, money is more powerful than anything else. However, money should not be wasted. It must be used for (some) proper purposes. We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way. 每個(gè)人為了能夠維持生活,所以都希望得到錢。換句話說(shuō),錢是非常有用,所以沒(méi)有它人類即無(wú)法生活?;诖朔N理由,我們有一句有趣的諺語(yǔ)。它說(shuō)有“錢能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之,錢比任何另外的東西更有力量。然而,錢不應(yīng)該被浪費(fèi)掉。它必須用于正當(dāng)?shù)挠猛旧稀N覀兦嗄耆藨?yīng)該養(yǎng)成不亂花錢的好習(xí)慣。Lesson 15 HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日 Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours (time) of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them. We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies. 我們?cè)S多人終是把星期日毫無(wú)目的地消度掉。這確實(shí)是十分可惜。我們很少能從星期日的寶貴時(shí)光中獲得益處。雖然星期日是被指定為一個(gè)休息的日子,但是我們卻應(yīng)好好利用它。 我們知道我們學(xué)校的功課通常是不夠的。我們應(yīng)時(shí)常利用星期日來(lái)閱讀參考書(shū)。如此我們的知識(shí)就會(huì)增加了。此外,我們必須從事運(yùn)動(dòng)或郊游以便強(qiáng)壯我們的身體。Lesson 16 MY AIM 我的志向 Whatever a man39。s status may be, he must have an aim. If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason. However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them bee our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society. If my aim can e true, I hope to be a teacher. However, teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties (as a teacher).不論人是什么身份,他必須有一個(gè)志向。如果沒(méi)有的話,他很難立足于世上。那是顯而易見(jiàn)的。
