The person I respect most is the geophysicist Huang Danian, who helped China to make many technological advances.Huang was a remarkable scientist. He had studied and worked in Britain for 18 years,but when he felt that his country needed him, he gave up his well-paid job and returned to China. Over the next seven years, Huang worked to develop many devices needed for deep-sea exploration.
我最尊敬的人是地球物理学家黄大年，他帮助中国取得了许多技术进步。黄是一位杰出的科学家。他在英国学习工作了 18 年，但当他觉得自己的国家需要他时，他放弃了高薪工作，回到了中国。在接下来的七年里，黄光裕致力于开发许多深海探测所需的设备。
Unfortunately, such achievements didn't come cheap.Due to the frantic pace of his research, Huang was absent from his father's funeral, and even his own cancer went undetected as he had no time to see a doctor. To sum up, Huang sacrificed everything for his research, and I think more people should honour him.
不幸的是，这样的成就来之不易。由于研究的节奏太快，黄某缺席了父亲的葬礼，甚至连自己的癌症也因为没有时间看医生而没有被发现。综上所述，黄为自己的研究牺牲了一切，我觉得应该有更多的人向他致敬。 (Zhang Keyu, Hubei)
I want to tell everyone about two teachers on Changyu Island, Wang Kaiquan and Lin Zhujin.
我想给大家讲讲张裕岛上的两位老师，王凯泉和林竹金(译音，并非真名，应以其真实情况作准)。
Few people know about this hometown of mine. The island is beautiful,but it's quite isolated, and there aren't many modern conveniences. In bad weather, even our water and power supplies are unstable.People who have never been to our island are often surprised by this and find it hard to adust. Many who live on the island dream of leaving. These two primary school teachers, however, have stayed on for 23 long years!They are the only teachers here, and they plan to stay for as long as there are children who need to attend school.
很少有人知道我的家乡。这个岛很美，但是它与世隔绝，现代化的便利设施也不多。在恶劣的天气时，连我们的水电供应都不稳定。从未到过我们岛上的人常常对此感到惊讶，并觉得很难理解和接受。许多住在岛上的人都梦想着离开。然而，这两位小学老师已经在这里工作了 23 年，他们是这里唯一的老师，只要有孩子需要上学，他们就打算留下来。
I want to thank them, and let the world know about these teachers who work tirelessly every day for the sake of the children.
我要感谢他们，也要让全世界知道这些每天为了孩子不知疲倦地工作的老师。 (Chen Xueyin, Fulian)
My mother, Liu Shurong, is my greatest inspiration. She is 47 year old and works as a cashier at a neighbourhood supermarket.
我的母亲，刘淑蓉，是我最大的灵感。她今年47岁，在一家社区超市当收银员。
I used to think her job was pretty easy, but now that I am older, I realise that my mother deserves respect for doing an amazing job all these years. She works long hours every day for the sake of our family, and she still finds the time to help with household chores and spend time with me.
我以前认为她的工作很简单，但是现在我长大了，我意识到我的母亲这些年来做了一份了不起的工作，值得尊敬。为了我们家，她每天工作很长时间，她还挤出时间帮忙做家务，陪陪我。
My mother takes pride in her work. She faces customers with a smile and works hard even when she is tired. Because of her, I have learnt to stay positive even when times are hard.
我母亲以她的工作为荣。她微笑着面对顾客，即使累了，也努力工作。因为她，我学会了即使在困难的时候也要保持乐观。 (Luo Tenge, Jilin) |
