　　范文：

　　The cartoon reveals a very thought-provoking scene. A student is throwing money into a pool while enthusiastically encouraging his parents to work harder. But he seems blind of how diligently his parents are striving to supply him with living expenses. The artist purposefully exaggerates the student’s body to emphasize his prodigality, while dwarfing his parents to indicate their hardship.

　　We can deduce from the picture that its aim is to criticize the spreading extravagant behavior among students, especially college students. Many students become increasingly obsessed with leading a high-quality life. To make it worse, they become proud of boasting wealth and compare their financial status with each other. Because of their inexperienced knowledge about life, they fail to comprehend that money is never easily earned, nor should it be carelessly spent. Thus, I would say that such a behavior implies disrespect towards parents.

　　This ingrate attitude and the unhealthy consumption negatively impact. In my opinion, it is the society’s responsibility to cultivate children with an independent outlook of life by various means. It is important for them to understand that a good life is created by oneself, not by others.

　　譯文：

　　這幅圖刻畫(huà)一個(gè)非常發(fā)人深思的情景。一個(gè)學(xué)生正在朝池塘扔錢(qián)，并且熱切地鼓勵(lì)他的父母加油干活。但是他卻對(duì)于父母為了供給他的生活費(fèi)而辛勤勞動(dòng)這一事實(shí)視而不見(jiàn)。作畫(huà)者故意夸張了學(xué)生的身體大小從而強(qiáng)調(diào)了他的鋪張生活，同時(shí)縮小了他父母的身體大小來(lái)體現(xiàn)他們的辛苦。

　　我們從這幅圖中可以推斷其目的在于指責(zé)在學(xué)生中流行的奢侈行為，特別是在大學(xué)生中。一方面，許多學(xué)生越來(lái)越關(guān)心如何過(guò)上高質(zhì)量的生活。更糟的是，他們喜歡炫耀財(cái)富、并且相互攀比。另一方面，因?yàn)樗麄儗?duì)于生活的經(jīng)驗(yàn)認(rèn)識(shí)不足、對(duì)于父母的關(guān)心也不夠，導(dǎo)致他們無(wú)法理解賺錢(qián)的不易，錢(qián)也不應(yīng)該被隨隨便便地花掉。因此，我敢說(shuō)這種行為是對(duì)父母的一種不尊敬。

　　這種對(duì)于父母的不孝態(tài)度和不健康的消費(fèi)習(xí)慣對(duì)于學(xué)生們有很大的負(fù)面影響。我認(rèn)為，全社會(huì)應(yīng)該擔(dān)負(fù)起教育孩子們形成獨(dú)立生活觀的責(zé)任。他們應(yīng)該理解好的生活是由自己創(chuàng)造的，而不是別人給予的，這一點(diǎn)非常重要。
