　　范文：

　　This drawing depicts a typical “little emperor” of a contemporary Chinese family. The fat son sinks comfortably into a soft sofa watching TV, while his father and mother, who are strikingly thinner, are feeding him watermelon and cutting his nails. No doubt, the boy is very spoiled being the center.

　　Unfortunately, children who are brought up in such an environment may suffer hardships later. Because their life is always pampered, there is a great possibility that they would be unable to deal with any frustration or failure. Most of the children who are extremely pampered are arrogant and complacent, without the awareness of showing respect to others. This attitude can arouse others’ disfavor toward them. Furthermore, these children may find difficulty in sustaining themselves once detached from their families.

　　What I want to emphasize by the above analysis is that, though it is good to see much of parents’ attention is focused on children, it is more important to help children learn how to survive and how to be good citizens. They are ensured not only of a bright future but also a sound intellectual and mental foundation, and hence a healthy life.

　　譯文：

　　這幅圖刻畫了一個當(dāng)代中國家庭典型的“小皇帝”。這個胖男孩舒服地坐在柔軟的沙發(fā)上看電視，他瘦弱的父母正分別喂他吃西瓜和幫他剪腳趾甲。毫無疑問，男孩在這種以他為中心的環(huán)境中受到了極度的溺愛。

　　不幸的是，在這種環(huán)境中成長起來的孩子們將來可能無法承受困難。首先，因為他們的生活總是一帆風(fēng)順，因此他們很有可能將來無法面對挫折和失敗。一件不如意的小事對于他們來說可能就是致命的。第二，大多數(shù)受溺愛的孩子都非常自大和傲慢，不知道如何尊重別人。這種態(tài)度會招致他人的厭惡。第三，這些孩子可能會在脫離家庭獨立生活以后發(fā)現(xiàn)自食其力是非常困難的。

　　通過以上分析我想強調(diào)的是，盡管父母把很大一部分精力放在孩子身上是一件好事，但是幫助孩子們學(xué)會如何生存、如何成為一個合格的公民對他們是更重要的。這樣才能保證他們有一個美好的未來，而且也為他們的健康生活打下基礎(chǔ)。
