　　考研英语作文范文

　　As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, four children are playing a "football match" of taking care of their aged father. Each of them stands in a different corner of a football field. The eldest son kicked out the father with the other three children guarding their goals.

　　The purpose of the drawing is to show us that due attention has to be paid to the mistreatment of senior citizens. First and foremost, some people shirk their duty of financially supporting their old and helpless parents due to their own interests. Furthermore, some elderly people are often ill-treated by their own children and cannot lead a normal life. Last but not least, while some young people enjoy a comfortable life, their parents are neglected and reduced to utter poverty.

　　It is imperative for us to take drastic measures. To begin with, relevant laws and regulations should be made to severely punish those who shun the responsibilities of caring their parents. In addition, we should cultivate the awareness of the young that respecting the old has always been the traditional virtue of Chinese culture. Only in this way can we curb the current evil phenomenon revealed in the picture. (198)

　　译文：

　　如图所示，四个孩子在打一场照顾他们年迈父母的“足球赛”。每个人站在球场的一角。大儿子踢出父亲，其他三个孩子守着球门。

　　这幅图的目的是告诉我们应该重视虐待老年人问题。首先，有些人由于自己的利益逃避赡养他们年迈无助父母的责任。其次，有些老年人经常被他们自己的子女虐待，不能过正常生活。最后，当一些年轻人享受舒适生活的同时，他们的父母被忽视，一贫如洗。

　　我们急需采取严厉措施。一方面，我们应该制定相关的法律法规严惩那些逃避养老责任的人。另一方面，我们应该培养人们的意识：尊老是中华文化的传统美德。只有这样我们才能制止图画中所显示的这种丑恶现象。
