长大 Grow Up

When we were children, we often say that I want to grow up, or I want to be an adult. As children, we cannot do many things, while after we grow up, we can. However, we often complain that I don’t want to grow up when we become adults actually.

当我们还是小孩子的时候，我们常说，我要长大，或者我想成为大人。作为孩子，有很多事情我们都不能做，但是长大后，却可以做。然而，当我们真的长大之后，我们却常常抱怨不想长大。

Firstly, growing up means more responsibilities. We should make a living by ourselves or we should support our parents when they can’t earn enough money to make a living. Secondly, after graduation, we need to work instead of accomplishing nothing. We should have a target and work for it, so we have pressure on jobs. After that, when we meet with the right person, we will get marry with him or her to build a family. That is to say, we have heavier burden because of our family. Building a family and keeping it harmonious is not easy. In a word, there are many problems waiting for us once we grow up.

首先，成长意味着更多的责任。我们要自己谋生，或者在我们父母无法养活自己的时候，要赡养父母。其次，大学毕业后，我们需要工作而不是什么都不做。我们应该有目标，并朝着它工作，因此我们有了工作的压力。之后，当我们会遇到合适的人，我们会和他或她结婚并一起建立一个家庭。也就是说，因为我们自己的家庭，我们的负担加重了。组建一个和谐的家庭并不容易。总之，一旦我们长大了就会有很多问题在等着我们。

Every coin has two sides. Grow up can also broaden our horizon, offer us an opportunity to know more about our world, love and protect the important person in our life. Don’t be afraid of growing up, just be a better person and enjoy our life.

每个硬币都有两面性。长大了可以拓宽我们的视野，使我们有更多的机会地了解我们的世界，爱和保护我们生命中重要的人。不要害怕长大，那只是让你成为一个更好的人，并享受生活。
