失败者更需鼓励 Losers Need More Encouragement

When the national entrance examination is over, peoplealways pay more attention to those who are enrolled by colleges anduniversities. Those who failed the examination are treated coldly. Beingenrolled by colleges and universities is, of course, worth congratulating. Butgiving the successful candidates excessive praise and neglecting those whofailed the examination might send the wrong message: young people do not have abright future unless they go to college or university.

当全国高考结束的时候，人们总是关注那些被大学录取的人。那些在考试中失败的则被冷落。获得大学的录取当然值得庆祝。但是，给予获得成功的考生过多的赞扬而忽略了那些在考试中失败的人可能会传达这样一种信息，即年轻人如果不上大学就没有光明的未来。

Teachers, parents and society, therefore, should givemore attention to students failing the examination. They are in more urgentneed of understanding, warmth and encouragement. We should tell them that to goto college is not the only way to success, and that, if they make enougheffort, they can still develop talents in other occupations that will servesociety.

因此，老师、家长和社会应该更关注在考试中失败的同学，他们更加需要迫切的理解、温暖和鼓励。我们应该告诉他们上大学不是成功的唯一道路，只要他们足够努力他们同样可以在其他职业发挥自己的天赋，服务社会。

Personally, the country’s economic developmentrequires not only specialized scientists and technical experts, but alsoknowledge-based workers and skilled laborers. After some vocational training,these senior high school students can also become backbones in their own fieldsand contribute their wisdom to our society.

就个人而言，国家的经济发展不仅仅需要专业的科学家和技术专家，同时也需要有知识基础的工人和技术工人。经过一些职业培训，这些高中生也能够成为他们领域的脊梁柱，为我们的社会贡献他们的智慧。
