VOA常速英语:Anti-Drug Student Film Contest Encourages Kids to Take a Stand(翻译)

“Lights Out,” is the first place winner on the high school level of the contest. The film was made by Alex Ismael, a rising 10th grader at Linganore High School. In the film, he used light bulbs as a metaphor.
“熄灯”是这次比赛中高中生组的第一名。这部电影由即将在Linganore中学上10年级的亚历克斯·伊斯梅尔制作。在电影中，他运用电灯泡作为暗喻。

“Our friends and family around us, each represents a different light and how we need to keep these lights on, and the brighter the better. Doing drugs really is gonna stop you from being there for those people.”
“我们周围的朋友和家人，每个人都代表着一盏不同的灯，我们需要保持这些灯亮着，越亮越好。吸毒会让你脱离这些人。”

“We were very excited to hear about Alex’s first place finish in the program. But we were also very excited to hear about the program in general because we know that students can use their peer pressure for positive things.”
“我们很高兴得知亚历克斯以第一名完成了这个项目，但总的来说，我们听说这个项目时也很激动，因为我们知道了学生们可以用他们来自同辈的压力来做积极的事情。”

Frederick County council member, Billy Shreve, who came up with the idea for the contest, says Ninety-five students submitted films.
弗雷德里克镇议会成员，比利·施里夫提出了这个比赛的主意，他说有95名学生提交了电影作品。

“We kept it simple. ‘How drugs wreck your world’ for middle school and high school students. And ‘Why are drugs bad?’ for elementary school students. We’ve had over 50,000 views on YouTube. The parents love it because they can sit down at home, watch a few videos with their kids, talk about what the video content was.”
“我们让比赛保持简单，给初中和高中生的主题是‘毒品怎样破坏你的世界’，给小学生的主题是‘为什么毒品有害？’我们的视频在YouTube上的观看量超过了50000，家长们都喜欢这些视频，因为他们能够坐在家中和孩子们观看一些视频，谈论这些视频的内容。”

On the middle school level, Alexandra Kish’s video got first place.
在初中组，亚历山德拉·基什的视频获得第一名。

“I wanted to make it straightforward; don’t do drugs. I know someone who was very severely affected by drugs. I mean this person just does not look well, she is not well mentally, physically. She’s just out of it. ”
“我想让视频表达直接，不要吸毒。我认识一个深受毒品之害的人。这个人就是看起来不健康，她身心都不健康。就是没有精神。”

The first place winner in the elementary school category comes from this School.
小学组的冠军来自于这所学校。

4th grader Liam Timpane says he made the film to have a positive impact on his peers—and for another important reason.
4年级的利亚姆·廷培说他拍摄这部电影为的是给他的同学产生积极影响，同时还有另外一个重要的原因。

“My dad is also a moviemaker and I wanted him to feel good about me, and I decided to make my own video. In our health lesson, we were talking about how bad drugs are for you. And actually, one kid in my class mentioned for that part of the health lesson, he said, ‘It’s kind of what Liam’s video is talking about.’”
“我爸爸也是一名电影制作人，我想让他为我感到骄傲，因此我决定拍我自己的视频。在我们的健康课上，我们正谈论毒品对我们的坏处，实际上，我们班上的一个同学在健康课上提到了，他说：‘这就像利亚姆的视频谈论的内容一样。’”

Starting next year, and because of its huge success, the Classmates4 Life anti-drug student film contest will be a statewide program, giving more students an opportunity to creatively fight drug abuse.
从明年开始，因为比赛的巨大成功，Classmates4 Life反毒品学生电影比赛将成为一项全州的比赛项目，给更多的学生一个创造性地对抗毒品滥用的机会。
