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.

當全國高考結束的時候，人們總是關注那些被大學錄取的人。那些在考試中失敗的則被冷落。獲得大學的錄取當然值得慶祝。但是，給予獲得成功的考生過多的贊揚而忽略了那些在考試中失敗的人可能會傳達這樣一種信息，即年輕人如果不上大學就沒有光明的未來。

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，老師、家長和社會應該更關注在考試中失敗的同學，他們更加需要迫切的理解、溫暖和鼓勵。我們應該告訴他們上大學不是成功的唯一道路，只要他們足夠努力他們同樣可以在其他職業發揮自己的天賦，服務社會。

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.

就個人而言，國家的經濟發展不僅僅需要專業的科學家和技術專家，同時也需要有知識基礎的工人和技術工人。經過一些職業培訓，這些高中生也能夠成為他們領域的脊梁柱，為我們的社會貢獻他們的智慧。
