PartIV TRANSLATION

参考译文

Theyhavefound that the flowing water,either a murmuring stream or a mighty river, passes quickly and never returns. With the passage of time, the young becometheold and the green grass turns yellow. People naturallyhave a sense of urgency to value every bit of time. As time goes by,no matter how slowly it elapses, people always use the word “liushi” to warn thelater generations for fear of time’sflowing away. They tell their descendants to treasure every single minute and make a hurried action, which adds a sense of tension to the word.

Challenge or Not

Recently, the Ice Bucket Challengehas goneviralall over the world, particularly in the United States, with people posting videos of themselves online and on TV participating in the event. Despite the increase of the donation to fightALSand more public concern, some are worried about the problems found with this kind of activities.What I have seen is that they havebeeninserted a sense ofentertainment.Personally, I propose thatcharitable activities, if inserted with too much entertaining elements, will probablydepart fromtheiroriginal intentions.

Thischaritableblockbuster,luringhundreds of celebrities, politicians and athletes, hassparkedmillions of donations to ALS research and raised awareness of the disease.However, there are worries and different voices towards it. Environmentalists are concerned about the waste of water on the national level, while doctors warnpeopleof the risks of being poured by icy water from the perspective of health.

On the one hand, we have observed that the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has rubbed some people the wrong way, especially as participants get caught up in the act of making videos rather than focusing on theessenceof the charity itself.It is said that when Barack Hussein Obamatook thechallenge, the current American president chose to make a donation of 100 dollars rather thanpouringthe icy water over his head. On the other hand, the original purpose of this activity is to provide aid and supportforpatientssuffering from thedisease. Accordingly, what we should focus on is whether the ALS association begins immediate funding for families in desperate need of home health care services and other care-related services.

Asamatter of fact, after a monthin the spotlight, themuch-hypedALS Ice Bucket Challenge is finally starting to show signs ofcooling down. Most thingsin moderationare healthy and lasting, andcharitable activitiesareno different. We should always bear the core of charity in mind: being a dutiful citizen.返回搜狐，查看
