2010年考研经典短文背诵:第29期

范文：
　　
There is a popular Chinese song, named “Go Home Often”, which encourages people to spend more time with their retired parents. The young man in the picture does go home frequently, but for a very different reason—he brazenly asks for money so that he can afford to play around with pretty girls. From his parents’ face express we can read surprise and anger.
　　
Sad as it is, this phenomenon does not occur rarely in today’s society, while both parents and children are responsible for it. For one thing, a number of young people are so used to relying financially on their families that they could never actually stand on their own feet when commencing their own life.

These ingrates never feel grateful of how hard their parents have strived to meet their ceaseless demand for money. For another, parents indulge children in consumption rather than instill in them with an objective outlook on money, and to teach them how to manage personal finances.
　　
To solve this problem, the whole society should take immediate actions, in order to raise the next generatioin with sound methods. In my opinion, the awareness of struggling for one’s own life independently is elementary for paving the way towards success.
　　
译文：
　　
有一首流行的中国歌曲叫《常回家看看》，意在鼓励人们花更多的时间陪他们已经退休的父母。图中的这个年轻人倒也确实经常回家，但原因却非常不同—他无耻地向父母要钱用来和女孩们厮混。从他父母的表情中我们读出了惊愕和愤怒。
　　
这种情况很让人伤心，但是在现今社会中却并不少见，对此家长和子女都是负有责任的。一方面，很多人习惯于在财政上过于依赖家庭，他们即使开始自己的生活也不愿意真正独立。这些忘恩负义的人们从不感激父母们努力奋斗赚钱来供他们花销。另一方面，父母们不该纵容孩子们盲目消费，而是应该教给他们正确客观的金钱观，教他们如何理财。
　　
为了解决这一问题，全社会都应该行动起来，用正确的方法培养我们的下一代，我认为，一个人必须意识到要为自己的生活独立奋斗，这种意识对于铺平他们将来的成功道路有重要的作用。
