　　Dear Haiqing,
親愛的老師，

　　I hear you are very unhappy these days because your parents can’t afford to buy you some brand-name shoes and garments you like very much. And I write you this letter to share with you what I think about this matter.
我聽說你這幾天很不高興，因為你的父母買不起你喜歡的名牌鞋和衣服。我寫這封信給你，告訴你我對這件事的想法。

　　To begin with, beauty is just skin deep. Don’t you think it silly to pay so much attention to your appearance? He is a shallow person who judges others by their appearance; in the same sense, he is a shallow person who thinks that a brand-name garment can add to his glamour. So please, just forget about those brand-name things. What really matters is not whether you wear brand-name shoes or garments but whether your clothes fit you. As a student, you have to wear the school uniform on the weekdays and to be honest, you look very smart in it. Then why do you have to bother to buy the expensive brand-name things?
首先，美只是皮膚的深層。難道你不覺得很傻地去關(guān)注你的外表嗎？他是一個膚淺的人，他們的外表來判斷別人；在同樣的意義上，他是一個淺薄的人，他認(rèn)為一件名牌服裝可以增加他的魅力。所以請，忘記那些名牌的東西。真正重要的不是你穿什么名牌鞋子或衣服，而是你的衣服是否適合你。作為一名學(xué)生，你必須在工作日穿校服，誠實，你看起來很聰明。那么，為什么你要買昂貴的名牌東西呢？

　　Secondly, I know your parents are both average workers. Hard as they work, they don’t earn much. Despite this, they do their best to give you a lot of things on demand. Look at the callus on their hands and wrinkles on their faces, how can you have the heart to ask for more than they can afford, which will surely break their hearts? Remember, parents don’t owe us expensive summer camps; they don’t owe us Sony Walkman; nor do they owe us Nike shoes, If you really want those fancy things, you should take a part-time job to contribute to their purchase rather than ask your parents for money to add to their already heavy burden. Don’t you think so?
其次，我知道你的父母都是普通工人。他們工作很辛苦，他們掙的錢不多。盡管如此，他們還是盡了最大的努力給你很多東西。看看他們臉上的痂，臉上的皺紋，你怎么能有能力要求他們超過他們能承受的，這肯定會打破他們的心？記住，父母不欠我們昂貴的夏令營；他們不欠我們的索尼隨身聽；他們也不欠我們的耐克鞋，如果你真的想要那些花哨的東西，你應(yīng)該做一份兼職工作來促進(jìn)其購買而不是問你的錢來增加他們的父母已經(jīng)沉重的負(fù)擔(dān)。你不這么認(rèn)為嗎？

　　Thirdly, we have such a wide variety of things available these days which are both nice and inexpensive. What’s the point of paying much more for those brand-name things that are not much better? My friend, take my advice, and you’ll be a wiser consumer as well as a more considerate child to your parents.
第三，我們有各種各樣的東西，這是很好的和廉價的。對于那些不太好的東西，要付更多的東西是什么呢？我的朋友，接受我的建議，你會是一個更聰明的消費者，以及一個更體貼的孩子，你的父母。

　　Poverty, sometimes, is a good thing. It can test a person’s character and it makes a man out of a boy faster than anything else. Keep working hard, and you are bound to be able to afford those things in the near future. Now you may as well focus on your study. Anyway, wouldn’t it be funny for a would-be achiever to be so preoccupied with brand-name things all day long?
貧窮，有時，是一件好事。它可以測試一個人的性格，它使一個人的男孩比其他任何東西都快。繼續(xù)努力，你一定會在不久的將來能承受這些東西。現(xiàn)在你可以把重點放在你的學(xué)習(xí)上。總之，不會是一個有趣的可能的成就是如此關(guān)注名牌的東西一整天？

　　Keep in touch.
