Part B 范文

The picture symbolically depicts how three sons and a daughter treat their old, helpless father. They each stand in a different corner of a football field in the middle of which is the old man who is crouching. The eldest son kicks out the father and the other children are prepared to ward him off. It is sad to see none of them is willing to receive their father.

The picture is thoughtprovoking, and what it illustrates is a common phenomenon in todays society: many grown-up children refuse to support their aging parents. They regard them as a burden to live with although it is their duty to support parents when they grow up. I think these children have betrayed their own conscience and therefore may subject themselves to social contempt and criticism.

It is no doubt that this phenomenon is becoming common in modern society, but it is not a good manner for young people to imitate. Most parents devote all their lives to bring up their children. They give their children everything they have just because of love and hope. It is against nature for us to shirk the responsibility of taking care of our parents when they are old. Rather, we have the duty to pay back their love by making their later years enjoyable and happy.

译文

这幅图形象地描述了三个儿子和一个女儿如何对待一个年老无助的父亲。他们分别站在球场的四周，中间是一个蜷缩的老人。大儿子将老人踢出去，其他的孩子正准备防守。看到没有一个孩子愿意赡养老人真的让人很悲哀。

这幅图非常发人深思，它说明了当今社会的普遍存在的一个现象：很多成年人拒绝赡养他们的父母。尽管赡养父母是每个成年人的义务，但他们却把父母当作负担。我认为这些孩子被判了自己的良心，应该受到社会的鄙视与谴责。

尽管这些现象越来越普遍，但年轻人不应该模仿。父母为了养育孩子付出了一生。他们为孩子做的都是为了爱和希望。不赡养年迈的父母是不符合天理的。事实上，我们有责任让父母安享晚年以此来回报他们的爱。
