参考范文

These days we can see many parents pushing their kids to learn all kinds of things by taking them to various after-school programs. This is because, as these parents would claim, that the pressure the kids will face in future is increasing and therefore they should “get started” as early as possible. But personally, I disagree with these well-intentioned parents.

现在，我们可以看到许多父母带着孩子们到各种各样的课后班去学习各种知识。这是因为，正如这些父母所声称的那样，孩子们未来面临的压力在增加，所以他们应该尽早“开始”。但就我个人而言，我不同意这些好心的父母。

Admittedly, the kids in early-start mode may excel their peers in school grades, but this mode can also result in negative consequences. Forcing a kid to sit at home and learn things in which he/she does not have any interest at all when he/she is supposed to play with other kids outside might eventually kill the kid’s passion for learning. That is exactly why many kids who did really well in primary school end up nowhere when they get to the university level. So, in order not to drain up the kids’ oil tank, I would suggest that they be left on the playground as much as possible rather than in their study.

诚然，这些“早开始”模式的孩子可能比同龄的孩子成绩好，但这种模式也会导致负面的后果。当孩子应该在外与其他孩子一起玩耍，却强迫他/她坐在家里学习完全不感兴趣的东西，这可能最终会浇灭孩子的学习热情。这就是为什么许多孩子小学时成绩很好，但到了大学阶段就一事无成。所以，为了不把孩子们的油箱给抽干，我建议尽量把他们留在操场上，而不是书房里。

Furthermore, pushing the kids to learn at their early age may give them the harmful impression that life is just like a must-win battle in which they have no alternative but work still harder. For many people, this life philosophy may sound logical enough, but for young kids, this is a little too much because it will spoil their care-free childhood on the one hand, and do no good to develop their right attitude towards life on the other. That is the reason why so many early-start children do not know how to cope with competition and pressure in their future work.

此外，强迫孩子们在很小的时候就努力学习可能会给他们一种有害的印象，认为生活就像是一场必胜的战争，他们除了努力工作别无选择。对许多人而言，这种生活哲学听起来很合乎逻辑，但对于小孩子来说，这有点太过分了，因为这一方面会破坏他们无忧无虑的童年，另一方面也不利于他们培养对生活的正确态度。这就是为什么这么多“早开始的”孩子不知道如何应对未来工作的竞争和压力的原因。

To conclude, pushing young kids to work hard is harmful, rather than beneficial, to their future. To maintain their passion for learning and life, the really wise parents should leave the choices to kids themselves about when to learn and what to learn.

总之，强迫年幼的孩子努力学习对他们的未来是有害的，而不是有益的。为了保持孩子们对学习和生活的热情，真正明智的父母应该把选择留给孩子们，让他们决定何时学习和学习什么。
