Noble Teachers Deserve Respect

Since ancient times, teaching has been a nobleprofession. And teachers are often compared to “gardeners” and “candles” whichburn themselves but light the way for others. This indicates that people have aspecial respect foe teachers and the job of teaching. In survey the history ofChinese education, we can see teachers are not only holding the responsibilityof transmitting knowledge but also setting good models for students in morals,ethics and patriotism. And many brilliant examples are throughout history.

自古以來，教書就是一份高尚的職業(yè)。老師常常被比作園丁”和燃燒自己點亮別人的“蠟燭”。這表明人們對老師和教書工作有特殊的尊敬情結(jié)。早中國的教育史調(diào)查中，我們可以看到，教師不僅肩負(fù)傳播知識的重任，同時也在道德、倫理和愛國主義方面給學(xué)生樹立榜樣。歷史上有很多鮮明的例子。

Today, it is encouraging that there are a large numberof education workers who are willing to dedicate themselves to the educationalbusiness. They are strict in teaching, have a wide range of knowledge and workwith tireless enthusiasm. They work silently, seeking no personal fame. Allthese demonstrate the noble and pure personality of teachers.

今天，令人鼓舞的是，大量的教育工作者愿意投身于教育事業(yè)。他們教學(xué)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，學(xué)識淵博，孜孜不倦。他們默默無聞，不圖名利。所有的這些都表明了教師高尚純潔的品質(zhì)。

However, it is also regret that today some teachersare doing things not in line with their noble image. They, for example, ask forhigh fees from their students with various excuses. Some even peddle productswhich have nothing to do with teaching to students. Though such teachers arevery small in number, the harm they cause is serious. They might bring aboutbad effects on students and ruin the image of teachers as a whole.

然而，遺憾的是，現(xiàn)在有些老師做出一些不相符于他們高尚形象的事情。比如說，他們以各種各樣的借口向?qū)W生收取高額費用。有的甚至向?qū)W生兜售與教學(xué)無關(guān)的產(chǎn)品。盡管這樣的老師是少數(shù)的，但是他們帶來的傷害卻是嚴(yán)重的。他們可能給學(xué)生產(chǎn)生不良影響，損壞教師的整體形象。

As far as I am concerned, I wish all teachers wouldtreasure their glory and respect bestowed by society and regulate theirbehavior. Leave virtue and kindness to your students instead of greed for moneybecause only this can bring happiness to them. This is my own experience.

就我而言，我希望所有的老師珍惜社會賦予他們的榮譽和尊敬，規(guī)范他們的行為。給你的學(xué)生留下美德和仁慈而不是對金錢的貪婪，因為只有這樣才能給他們帶來幸福。我就是我自己的經(jīng)驗。
