　　On Disasters

　　An old saying goes: Life is full of roses and thorns. As we all know, one’s life is full of unexpected events, some of which are wonderful and some of which are disastrous. Those heavy blows, such as, floods, snowstorms, and earthquakes, threaten to weigh one down.

　　However, it’s even worse if one can’t drag himself out of the grief in that mental break-down is more serious than the disaster itself. Instead of indulging oneself in sadness, one should take positive attitude towards life and contribute to the reconstruction of his or her life and hometown.

　　As for me, if I am lucky enough to survive in a disaster, I will try my best to help those who are suffering by donation blood or money. If I am a victim, I will endeavor to recover from the sadness as soon as possible and be certain to be strong and supportive to the recovery work.

　　【譯文賞析】

　　論災(zāi)難

　　俗話說：“生活總是喜憂參半。”眾所周知，人的生命里充滿著各 種意想不到的事，有些很美好，有些卻是不幸的。洪水、雪災(zāi)以及地震 這些巨大的災(zāi)難總是讓人無比沉重。

　　但是，如果一個(gè)人不能從悲痛里恢復(fù)過來，那么精神上的打擊要遠(yuǎn)比災(zāi)難本身嚴(yán)重。因此在災(zāi)難面前，我們不應(yīng)該沉湎于悲痛，而要積極 地面對(duì)人生，努力幫助他人重生和重建家園。

　　如果我在一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難中幸存下來，我會(huì)通過捐款或者獻(xiàn)血，盡力去幫助其他受災(zāi)人群。要是我在災(zāi)難中受傷了，我也會(huì)盡快從傷痛中恢復(fù)，堅(jiān)強(qiáng)起來，全力支持災(zāi)后重建工作。
