童年最重要

英语范文

It is generally accepted that a person's childhood years are very important years of their life.But it is hardly appropriate to say those years are the most important.

We do not reject the importance of childhood years. Actually it is rather important for the later part of a person's life. Our lives are subject to surroundings. Our world views have been structured from our childhood. Therefore, every one actually sees his own world differently to others. Even though we all live in a single world, every one of us in fact lives in a distinctive world, which are determined by our distinctive perceptions from individual to individual. Hence，we should not suspect that a person's life is influenced by one's childhood.

Childhood, however, is merely one of several factors that shape one's later life. Among various factors is one's learning ability. Human beings are superior to any other animals simply because of their ability to learn. Psychology teaches us that training and self-training can alter our characteristics which may eventually alter our lives. Furthermore, learning is a life long process, which means every part of one's life could be an essential period and could play an indispensable role in one's life. For example, Einstein was taken for an idiot by his teacher when he was a child. The awkward attitude of his stupid teacher made Einstein's childhood an awful one. Nevertheless，Einstein did lead a wonderful life.

Most parents nowadays seem to believe that childhood is the most important phase of one's life，and therefore often force their children to learn those alleged essential skills. The fact is, such behaviour is rather presumptuous，because，there are still many other important factors that affect one's life.

题目：

　　一个人的童年（从出生到12岁）是一生中最重要的阶段，你同意这种观点吗？

译文：

　　大家都公认的是，童年在人的一生中是非常重要的时光，但是很难说是最重要的。

　　我们不否认童年的重要性。的确，它对一个人日后的生活是相当重要的。我们的生活受环境的支配。我们的世界观在童年就已经形成。因此，每一个人对他或她所处的世界的看法与别人都是不同的。即使我们都生活在同一个世界里，事实上，我们中的每一个人都活在一个与众不同的世界中。这是因为每个人对世界都有着不同的感知。因此，我们不应该怀疑一个人的童年的确影响着人生。

　　然而，童年仅仅是一个人成长的几个因素之一。学习能力也是这众多的因素之一。人类优越于其他动物的原因只不过因为学习能力。心理学告诉我们训练和自我训练能够改变我们的性格从而最终改变我们的人生。此外，学习是一个长期的过程，这意味着人生的每一步都是至关重要的时期，并且学习也扮演着人生中不可分割的角色。正如，爱因斯坦小时候就被他的老师称之为白痴。这位愚蠢的老师的态度造成了爱因斯坦糟糕的童年。然而，爱因斯坦的一生是非常精彩的。

　　大多数的家长都认为童年是人生中最重要的阶段，因此常常强迫他们的子女去学习那些所谓的重要技能。但事实是，这种做法是相当专横的。因为还有很多其他影响人生的重要因素。
