一男孩死於家庭離異 A Boy Killed by Family Break up

On September 28, 2012, a piece of news carried amiddle-school student’s letter written before his suicide. In his letter, the15-year-old boy earnestly begged his father to give up his bad behavior andrenew a cordial relationship with his mother. After reading the letter, myheart bled bitterly. Though suffering greatly from his troubled family, the boyhad a deep love for his young life, his lovely classmates and his respectableteachers. But to bring back his father’s moral and a happy family, he ended hislife by swallowing pesticide.

2012年9月28號，一隻消息報道稱以爲中學生自殺前寫了一封信。在這封信中，一名十五歲的男孩認真的懇求他的父親改掉他的壞習慣恢復和母親的關係。讀完這封信後，我的心像在滴血一般疼。儘管這個問題家庭給他帶來了很大的痛苦，這個男孩還是深愛着他年輕的生命，他可愛的同學和他尊敬的老師們。但是爲了爲了挽回他父親的道德和一個幸福的家庭，他服農藥結束了自己的生命。

Poor kid, why did you resort to such an unwise move?Since you dearly loved your parents, you could have done otherwise. You showedthe world with your pure, innocent and kind heart that you longed for abeautiful life and hated the evil. But you chose the wrong way to realize yourdesires and wishes.

脆弱的孩子，你爲什麼要選擇如此不明智的舉動？既然你那麼深愛你的父母，你就不該這麼做。你的話語和你純潔，無辜和善良的內心表明你想要美好的生活，你憎恨罪惡。但是你選擇了錯誤的方式去實現你的希望和意願。

The tragedy exposed a grave social problem: domesticviolence and lack of family communication. Clearly, marriage break-ups do greatand inevitable harm to children. As we know, each family, as a cell of society,is concerned with social stability and happiness of its people, and moreimportantly, the future of a nation.

這一悲劇揭露了一個嚴重的社會問題：家庭暴力以及缺乏家庭溝通。顯然，離婚不可避免的對孩子帶來巨大傷害。我們都知道，作爲社會的一個小部分，每個家庭都與社會的穩定、人們的幸福以及國家的未來息息相關。

People often say parents are the first teachers oftheir children. Parents’ behaviors greatly affect the growth and development oftheir children. A happy and harmonious family environment is essential tochildren’s healthy growth. Personally, this incident may serve as a warning toparents, who are expected to regulate their behaviors and set a good example tocreate a good environment for their children’s life and study. Let’s remember:harmony starts from home.

人們常說家長是孩子的第一任老師。家長的行爲深深的影響着孩子的成長和發展。一個幸福和諧的家庭環境對孩子的健康成長是必要的。就我個人來說，這次事故應當成爲對家長們的一個警告。家長們應該規範他們的行爲舉止，做好榜樣給孩子的生活和學習創造環境。讓我們牢記和諧社會從家庭做起。
