范文：
The cartoon features the sharp contrast between the students of the same elementary school in 1970 and 2000. In 1970, the school is named “Labor School” where most students were very skinny compared to one fat guy. But in 2000, the school’s name changed to “Doctor School” in which the majority of students were well-fed with round bodies.
It is abundantly clear that the picture aims at criticizing obesity among today’s Chinese children. In the past, our society valued labor as the supreme virtue, and thus most people were content with hard work supported by ordinary food. However, recent accumulation of material wealth has led to changed values and individual enjoyment as the most important task. In particular, a generation of the “only child” has grown up with their desires greatly indulged. Parents provide them with feasts and comfortable facilities, while the children do not even have the chance to labor or exercise. All of these factors contribute to the drastic change in children’s weight in general.
It is important to note that the improvement of population quality is one of the main tasks that China’s population policy addresses. In brief, tentative measures should be adopted to promote a healthy life style and outlook of value in the society, particularly among the next generation.
譯文：
這幅漫畫刻畫了在1970年和2000年同一所小學的兩代學生之間的鮮明對比。在1970年，這個名為“勞動小學”的學校中，大部分學生都非常瘦，相比之下只有一個胖小子。但是在2000年，學校更名為“博士小學”，大多數學生都是胖胖的身材。
很清楚這幅圖意在批判在當今中國的孩子們中一種肥胖趨勢。過去，我們的社會以勞動為最高的美德，因此人們滿足于辛苦的勞動和簡單的食物。但是，現在物質財富的積累改變了人們的價值取向，大家都把個人享受最為最重要的任務。特別是一代“獨生子女”在成長過程中他們的各種欲望得到了極大的滿足。父母們為他們提供了無數的盛宴和舒適的生活設施，孩子們根本沒有機會勞動或者鍛煉。所有的這些因素導致了孩子們體重普遍的上升。
我們要注意到，改進人口質量是我國人口政策的一個重要任務之一。簡單地說，要實施各種措施，在社會上、特別是在下一代孩子中發揚一種健康的生活方式和價值觀。
