Good morning, class. Today we have Mr. Brown, the school advisor, to talk to us.
同学们,早上好。今天我们请到了学校的指导教师布朗先生来跟我们谈话。
Good morning, everybody. First, I'm sure you often feel that adults don't care about your health and happiness, but I want to tell you that we do. So, let's start with some questions. Yes?
大家早上好。首先,我知道大家常常觉得成年人并不关心你们的健康和快乐,但是我想告诉你们我们确实关心。那么首先让我们来讨论一些问题吧。好的。
We are given a lot of homework, and so I need to study late every night to finish it. Is this good for me?
我们的家庭作业很多,我每晚需要学习到很晚才能做完作业。这样对我来说好么?
Well, not really. In order to be healthy, teenagers need to get enough sleep. Can you ask your teachers to help you with this problem?
并不好。为了健康,青少年需要充足睡眠。你能让老师帮助你解决这个问题吗?
I'm nearly 16. Do you think I am too young to decide what to do in my free time?
我快16岁了。您认为我是不是还不能安排自己的空闲时间呢?
That's another good question. I don't think you're too young to decide, but it's always better to talk things over with your parents. Let them know about your life—share it with them more.
这又是一个好问题。我认为你能够自己做决定。但是和父母谈谈总是更好的。让他们了解你的生活—和他们分享更多。
I need to do that. My parents say I'm too quiet at home.
我需要这么做。我的父母说我在家太安静了。
Well, maybe they think you're unhappy.
或许他们觉得你不开心。
One last question?
最后一个问题?
Yes. Mr. Brown, my parents tell me it's dangerous to chat on the Internet. But do you think it's okay?
布朗先生,我的父母告诉我网上聊天很危险。但是你觉得网上聊天可以么?
In order to be safe, you need to be very careful. There are many dangers—especially for teenagers.
安全起见,你需要非常小心。网上聊天有很多危险—特别是对青少年而言。
Choose carefully who you chat with on the Internet, and never agree to meet a stranger—it's just not safe enough these days.
仔细选择你的网上聊天对象,不要和陌生人见面—目前还不够安全。
Thank you. It seems that what is most important is for you all to believe that adults want to help you to live safely and happily. Thank you for coming, Mr. Brown.
谢谢。似乎对你们来说最重要的是相信成年人们希望帮助你们安全快乐的生活。感谢布朗先生。
