Doing Morning Exercises

 “Youcan take a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink.”However,many university authorities fail to fully appreciate such a seemingly simpleprinciple in their management. In some universities, no matter they like it ornot, students are forced to take morning exercise in the form of running orjogging. Without a minimum record in the physical exercises, there is littlechance for students to be conferred with their diploma even if all the othergraduation requirements are met. For my part, this policy is too rigid to playa positive role in encouraging sports activities among students.

 “強扭的瓜不甜”。然而，許多校領導在領導的時候都沒能充分地遵從這個簡單的原則。有些大學，無論學生想不想，都要參加跑步或者慢跑這種晨練。如果沒有這些記錄，學生們就有可能不被授予文聘，即使他們滿足了其他的畢業條件。對我來說，這種政策太嚴厲了，無法激勵學生參加運動。

First of all, this establishedregulation may go against some student’s living rhythms and throw theirbiological clock into order. In some university, students are required to run800 meters between six thirty to seven AM for at least 50 times in onesemester. For those who are accustomed to studying late at night, thisregulation has posed much difficulty in balancing their life order. If theymaintain their old style of working at night, if will surely be quite hard toget up and do the running in the next morning. And what’s more, lack ofsufficient rest will interfere with the morning classes. We can imagine howhard they will struggle studying at night. They may find themselves functioningless effectively during the day.

第一，這種監管會打亂學生的生活節奏還有打亂他們的生物鐘。有些大學要求學生每天六點半到七點要跑800米，一個學期最少要跑50次。對于一些學習到很晚的學生來說，這種規定讓他們很難均衡他們的生活規律。如果他們要保持學習到很晚的習慣，第二天肯定很難起床跑步。再者，缺乏足夠的休息會干擾到第二天的學習。我們可以想象得出深夜他們學習，第二天基本很難在狀態上。

Secondly, it neglects students’various interests in different kinds of sports. With the increasing priority onindividual interests, students should be granted the right to choose the formand time of doing sports to keep it.

第二，它忽略了學生們各式各樣的體育愛好。個人興趣應當優先，學生有權去選擇他們做運動的方式和時間。

From the above discussion, we may conclude that students should not be forced into abidingby the policy of doing morning sports. University authorities could exercisemore flexibility over the arrangements.

鑒于以上論證，我們能夠得出結論，不應該強迫學生遵循做晨練的政策。校領導應該出臺更靈活的安排。
