On Disasters
An old saying goes: Life is full of roses and thorns. As we all know, one’s life is full of unexpected events, some of which are wonderful and some of which are disastrous. Those heavy blows, such as, floods, snowstorms, and earthquakes, threaten to weigh one down.
However, it’s even worse if one can’t drag himself out of the grief in that mental break-down is more serious than the disaster itself. Instead of indulging oneself in sadness, one should take positive attitude towards life and contribute to the reconstruction of his or her life and hometown.
As for me, if I am lucky enough to survive in a disaster, I will try my best to help those who are suffering by donation blood or money. If I am a victim, I will endeavor to recover from the sadness as soon as possible and be certain to be strong and supportive to the recovery work.
【译文赏析】
论灾难
俗话说：“生活总是喜忧参半。”众所周知，人的生命里充满着各 种意想不到的事，有些很美好，有些却是不幸的。洪水、雪灾以及地震 这些巨大的灾难总是让人无比沉重。
但是，如果一个人不能从悲痛里恢复过来，那么精神上的打击要远比灾难本身严重。因此在灾难面前，我们不应该沉湎于悲痛，而要积极 地面对人生，努力帮助他人重生和重建家园。
如果我在一场灾难中幸存下来，我会通过捐款或者献血，尽力去帮助其他受灾人群。要是我在灾难中受伤了，我也会尽快从伤痛中恢复，坚强起来，全力支持灾后重建工作。
