【功能句范文】

This is a simple but enlightening cartoon: an aged grandma sits in front of a mirror talking with herself, “I am rather lonely, because my son and grandson go to work and study.” Apparently, this picture can be naturally associated with a host of lonely old parents.

If youngsters intend to see happy smiles of their aged parents, it is advisable for them to spend more time on parents. In the contemporary society, it has become a trend for a majority of young people to be busy with work and study. Meanwhile, an increasing number of adult children find it difficult to have adequate time to care and accompany aged parents. A case in point is the grandma in the picture. However, it is children’s love and care that enable aged people to build up hope, confidence and passion for life.

As a youngster, I am convinced that it is of great necessity for us to strengthen our awareness of respecting and loving old parents. Thus, we should educate and encourage our friends, classmates and families to spend more time accompanying them.(183 words)

【参考译文】

这是一张简单又引人深思的漫画：一位老奶奶坐在镜子前自言自语，“我非常孤独，因为我的儿子和孙子都去上班和上学了。”很显然，这幅图可以很自然联系到许多孤独的老人。

如果年轻人想要看到他们年长父母的笑容，他们就应该花更多时间在父母身上。在当今社会，绝大多数年轻人忙于工作和学习。于此同时，越来越多成年孩子发现他们很难有足够的时间去关心和陪伴年迈的父母。一个典型的例子就是图中的老奶奶。然而，正是孩子们的爱和关心能够让老人建立足够的希望，自信和对生活的激情。

作为一个年轻人，我相信我们很有必要加强尊老爱老的意识。因此，我们应该教育和鼓励我们的朋友，同学和家人去花更多时间陪伴他们。
