《远大前程》

最近读了狄更斯的小说《远大前程》。讲的是一个叫“匹普”的小男孩又穷又没受过什么教育，但好在他的朋友们都一样。对他们来说，这并没有什么，生活的本来面目就是这样。然而，一旦匹普得知他有“远大前程”，他开始不再安分了。他羞于与自己的伙伴们为伍，甚至还自残羞愧。他的“前程”显然有摧毁他的“危险”。

想想自己也是这样，成绩普通的时候，对待同学还算友好。等慢慢成绩好了，也变得功利了。永远看不到周围人的善良，心里有的只是名次，对待同学也不是善意的帮助了，而是瞧不起与嫌弃。就这样渐渐堕落了。来到叔叔这里才有机会知道，成绩不是唯一，比成绩更重要的是品质，是一个孩子的善良。小时候总听老师说品质更重要，但也只是说说而已，学校没有时间，老师也没有精力在道德上下功夫。自己属于散养，到处去玩，童年很快乐，却没有受过什么教育，没有听过古人高尚的故事，也不知道什么是具体的仁义礼智信。到叔叔这里才真正开始受到教育，知道应该怎么样去做人。争名逐利是末，快乐善良是本。恰恰这是自己最欠缺的，最需要的。遇到了真正的教育，真高兴。被成绩蒙住了双眼，培养功利的孩子，又算得上什么教育！

I recently read Dickens' novel Great Expectations. It's about a little boy named "Pip" who is poor and uneducated, but fortunately his friends are all the same. To them, it's nothing, life is just what it is. However, once Pip learns that he has a "great future", he starts to get restless. He was ashamed of being in the company of his comrades, and he was even ashamed of self-harm. His "future" is clearly in "danger" of destroying him.

Thinking about myself, when my grades are average, I treat my classmates friendly. When the grades are good, it becomes utilitarian. I can never see the kindness of the people around me. What I have in my heart is only the ranking. Treating my classmates is not a kind help, but looks down and dislikes. So it gradually fell. Only when I came to uncle did I have the opportunity to know that grades are not the only thing. More important than grades is quality, which is the kindness of a child. When I was young, I always heard the teacher say that quality is more important, but it was just a talk. The school didn't have the time, and the teacher didn't have the energy to work on morals. I belong to a free-range family, play everywhere, and have a very happy childhood, but I have not received any education, I have not heard the noble stories of the ancients, and I do not know what specific benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are. It was only when I came to uncle that I really began to receive education and know how to be a person. Competing for fame and fortune is the end, happiness and kindness are the foundation. This is precisely what he lacks the most and needs the most. It's a pleasure to meet a real education. Blindfolded by grades, nurturing utilitarian children is what kind of education!

夏天到了，天气很热。树木郁郁葱葱，很茂盛。今天外面格外的闷热。中午吃完饭，天色开始变沉了，水汽很多。要下雨了，终于，夏日里的清凉要来了！听着外面呼呼的风声，心想，这快下了。不料姐姐开始喊了，下雨了，往屋里搬椅子！往窗外一看，原来雨已经伴着风来了，哗哗地往下下。真是倾盆大雨。雨被风刮得像白色的沙尘暴，席卷而来。老树上的叶子一片一片地蜷起来，被风刮的像一个个摇曳的小铃铛。雨打在窗户上，外面看起来像是一幅绿色的油画。夏天的雨，来得快也去得快，不一会儿，又恢复了往日的平静。

Summer is here and it's hot. The trees are lush and lush. It's very hot outside today. After eating at noon, the sky began to darken, and there was a lot of water vapor. It's going to rain, and finally, the coolness of summer is coming! Listening to the whistling wind outside, I thought to myself, it's going down soon. Unexpectedly, my sister started shouting, it's raining, move chairs into the house! Looking out the window, it turned out that the rain had already come with the wind, and it was rushing down. It was pouring rain. The rain was blown by the wind like a white sandstorm and swept in. The leaves on the old tree curled up one by one, like little bells swaying by the wind. The rain hit the windows, and the outside looked like a green oil painting. The summer rain came and went quickly, and in a while, it returned to its former calm.
