英语范文

The process of growing up is very complex for children. Among countless factors that influence children's growth, the behaviour of adults plays a significant role in shaping children's inclination and character. After the baby is born, the first and the nearest adults are his/her parents. The little babies have started to learn from their parents by observing and copying the adults' talk. This learning environment is important for the babies.

There is a special case reported by the press. A baby was abandoned when she was born.

A sow fed her as a piglet. When she was about eight years old, some villagers found her, her intelligence was just similar to the two-year old baby and all of her behaviours were looked like a pig. From this case, we know child is a “mirror” which will reflect the behaviour of the closest adults.

Along with the children's growth, adults will influence them much more, such as logical thinking, making a decision, cooperation with others, etc. The behaviour of adults can give children both good and bad influence. Most of the behaviours represent adults' inclination. For instance, if media report chiefly on the seamy side of the society, children will easily incline to violence and excessive sex. Therefore, they will be infected with bad mental state.

Behaviour is a direct and convincing method to teach children. Things are easier said than done. Parents always tell children those principles repeatedly, but most children can not accept it through these boring method. Adults' behaviour is the most effective education method to let them observe the whole process of how to deal with the problems. The children will learn from the adults naturally.

Children are like young trees, they need to be carefully irrigated, fertilized and trimmed. Adults' behaviour will be greatly helpful to shape them into useful talents.

题目：

　　孩子通过观察和模仿大人能够很好地学习，你同意这种观点吗？

译文：

　　孩子长大成人的过程是非常复杂的。在无数影响孩子成长的因素中，成人的行为在塑造孩子的爱好和个性方面扮演着重要的角色。在宝宝出生后，首先面对的也是最亲近的成年人就是他们的父母。宝宝们已经开始通过留心和模仿大人的谈话从父母那学习。这种学习氛围对宝宝们来说很重要。

　　这里有一篇特殊报道。一个孩子出生时就被遗弃了。一头母猪把她当小猪一样喂养了她。当她大约八岁时，一些村民找到了她，她的智力跟两岁的婴孩差不多，而且所有举止行为都跟猪相似。通过这个案例，我们知道孩子像一面可以反映出最亲近的大人的行为的镜子。

　　在孩子的成长过程中，成人将在更多方面影响着他们，比如逻辑思维、制定决策、和他人合作等。大人的举止会从好、坏两方面影响着孩子。孩子的大多数行为反映了成人的举止倾向。比如，如果媒体主要报道社会阴暗面，孩子们将容易倾向于暴力和纵欲。因此，他们将被感染上不良的心理状态。

　　言传身教是直接而有力的教育方法。说起来容易做起来却很难。父母总是再三地给孩子们讲道理，但是大部分孩子不能通过这种枯燥的方式来接受。最有效的教育方式是大人行为的潜移默化，让他们观察如何解决问题的整个过程。孩子们自然会向其学习。

　　孩子们就像小树苗，需要精心的灌溉、施肥和修葺。大人们的行为可以极大地帮助他们成为有用的人才。
