拒絕冷漠，傳遞溫暖Say “No” to Indifference

At present, many people criticize that the Chinese society is full filled with indifference and nobody is willing to help others, especially the strangers in the street. However, some people say that we have experienced the cases that strangers asking for help desperately yet turning to be robbers and thieves and swindling the kind-hearted people. And now, there are many fraud gangs extort money in the name of begging so that people do not trust beggars as before. But, I still believe that goodness and compassion are still live in our heart, which urge us to give a warm help to those people who need help.

如今，很多人批評中國社會充滿了冷漠，沒有人願意幫助別人，尤其是街上的陌生人。然而，有的人說我們經歷過這種情況，拼命尋求幫助的陌生人往往被證明是騙取善良人們的劫匪和小偷。而現在，有很多詐騙團伙一乞討的名義勒索錢財，讓人們不再像以前一樣相信乞丐。但是，我仍然相信善良和同情仍然活在我們的心中，督促我們向那些需要幫助的人伸出援助之手。

Maybe you will never know just a small thing you do to others means a lot. Your giving a hand casually will be a lighted torch in the dark, brightening the road and retrieving a desperate wanderer of his confidence and hope of life; your warm words will be a piece of sunshine, melting a cold and helpless heart. In addition, offering help is a virtue. It’s an act of paying out, and it really will pay back. Helping others is always a good tradition of our Chinese nation, which has been profoundly rooted in our hearts. A Chinese proverb goes like this , ” Help others only by giving him a little drop of water, and someday he will surely return the kindness by a crystal stream of brook to you.” That is not mean that we expect any return when we help other, but once we do help, in someday when we need help, we efinitely can get a warm hand from others. I think what we need is trust to rebuild warm relationship between each other. Furthermore, by helping others, one could have a feeling of content and pride, a sense of achievement and the realization of one’s own value. As another old saying goes, “Roses given, fragrance in hand.”

也許你從來不知道你對別人做的一件小事對別人意味着很多。你的舉手之勞可能會點燃黑暗中的一把火炬，照亮道路並且找回絕望的流浪者生活的信心和希望；你溫暖的話語會是一縷陽光，融化一顆冰冷無助的心。另外，給予幫助是一種美德。它是一種付出的行動，也會真正得到回報。幫助別人一直是中華民族的傳統美德，它已經深深根植於我們心中。有句中國諺語是這樣說的“滴水之恩，當以泉涌相報”。這並不是意味着我們幫助別人是期望從別人那裏得到回報，但是一旦我們幫助了別人，某一天我們需要幫助的時候，我們也會從別人那裏得到溫暖的雙手。我認爲，我們需要的是信任去重建彼此之間的溫暖關係。另外，通過幫助別人，我們會覺得滿足和驕傲，有一種成就感和實現自己的價值的感覺。正如另一句諺語說的：“予人玫瑰手留餘香。”

In a society, nobody can live alone without help from others. Without help from others, we’re liable to be in dilemma. Therefore, let’s be generous enough, open our heart to the strangers, give a hand to those helpless in hopes of pulling through.

在社會裏，沒有人可以不需要別人的幫助而獨自生活。沒有別人的幫助，我們就會陷入困境。因此，讓我們慷慨些，向陌生人打開我們的心扉，給那些無助的人度過困難的希望。
