Good morning, class. Today we have Mr. Brown, the school advisor, to talk to us.
同學們,早上好。今天我們請到了學校的指導教師布朗先生來跟我們談話。
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,我知道大家常常覺得成年人并不關心你們的健康和快樂,但是我想告訴你們我們確實關心。那么首先讓我們來討論一些問題吧。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?
我們的家庭作業很多,我每晚需要學習到很晚才能做完作業。這樣對我來說好么?
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。為了健康,青少年需要充足睡眠。你能讓老師幫助你解決這個問題嗎?
I'm nearly 16. Do you think I am too young to decide what to do in my free time?
我快16歲了。您認為我是不是還不能安排自己的空閑時間呢?
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.
這又是一個好問題。我認為你能夠自己做決定。但是和父母談談總是更好的。讓他們了解你的生活—和他們分享更多。
I need to do that. My parents say I'm too quiet at home.
我需要這么做。我的父母說我在家太安靜了。
Well, maybe they think you're unhappy.
或許他們覺得你不開心。
One last question?
最后一個問題?
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,我的父母告訴我網上聊天很危險。但是你覺得網上聊天可以么?
In order to be safe, you need to be very careful. There are many dangers—especially for teenagers.
安全起見,你需要非常小心。網上聊天有很多危險—特別是對青少年而言。
Choose carefully who you chat with on the Internet, and never agree to meet a stranger—it's just not safe enough these days.
仔細選擇你的網上聊天對象,不要和陌生人見面—目前還不夠安全。
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.
謝謝。似乎對你們來說最重要的是相信成年人們希望幫助你們安全快樂的生活。感謝布朗先生。
