開(kāi)學(xué)第一課：熱愛(ài)祖國(guó)（中英對(duì)照）

It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth.

How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.

【參考譯文】

要使國(guó)家富強(qiáng)是每個(gè)公民的責(zé)任。為了達(dá)到此目的，必須愛(ài)國(guó)。我認(rèn)為這是一條不易的定理。

一個(gè)學(xué)生如何才能愛(ài)國(guó)呢?我發(fā)覺(jué)答復(fù)很簡(jiǎn)單明了。他必須用功讀書(shū)并積儲(chǔ)知識(shí)以便將來(lái)服務(wù)國(guó)家。如果每個(gè)學(xué)生能按照我所說(shuō)的去做，國(guó)家一定會(huì)富強(qiáng)。
