Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed

首句点明公众和法律界对此话题存在争议。

Whether or not one should expect a return for doing favors has aroused a heated debate among the public and the legal society in the past few decades.

接着说主要有两大阵营观点不一。
Opinions are divided into two main groups, which will be illustrated as follows.

从肯定的角度进行论述：对做好事者进行奖赏能使更多的人增强社会正义感。

Some people, as well as those jurists, firmly believe that good turns really deserve a medal. It does no harm to the dignity. They reason that those who are ready to help others regardless of their own safety and benefits, if properly rewarded, will inspire more people with a sense of justice.

从中华民族传统美德出发，说明收取回报与此不合：以雷锋为例，论证"与人玫瑰，手有余香"。

Undoubtedly, this viewpoint is in opposition with the traditional Chinese virtue, just as the old saying goes, "Roses given, fragrance in hand." Lei Feng, a social idol, carries out the principle in his whole life. He harvests the love and respect from others and is still followed as an example in our everyday behavior.

总结全文，"我"认为两种说法都有道理：一方面，对别人伸以援手，可以得到自我价值的实现(个人角度)；另一方面，奖励好人好事有助于和谐社会的建立(社会角度)。

In my judgment, both of the beliefs stand to reason. When we help others out of trouble, we derive self-fulfillment and spiritual enhancement. Meanwhile, recognizing and honoring good deeds can be conducive to a harmonious society.
