范文：
The picture shows a boy who is crossing a river by stepping on his peasant parents’ heads like stones. The river symbolizes the heavy financial load on rural parents to support their children’s advanced education. As is quoted in the picture, a family in countryside can barely afford a high school student, not to mention a college student.
The picture apparently mirrors an increasingly common social phenomenon in China—the hiking cost of education in contrast with the tiny income of the rural population. For one thing, the problem is partially attributed to the present disparity of wealth distribution. Sometimes the college tuition per student equals the annual income of a rural family. For another, colleges and other educational institutions fail to provide financial tools to assist students from poor areas. For example, the application for scholarship and student loan is usually so complicated that the procedure seems to take forever, while students see no trace of money.
In my opinion, the government needs to reform the educational system with measures that can show immediate effect. Cutting tuition and other expenses proves to be most beneficial to students. Further, a large-scale reform at the macroeconomic level to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor is a basic solution to this issue.
譯文：
這幅圖一個男孩子正在把他的農民父母的頭作為墊腳石來跨過一條河。這條河象征了農村的父母們為了供孩子們接受高等教育所承受的巨大財政負擔。正如圖中所說的那樣，在農村養一個高中生都很困難，更不用說是大學生了。
這很顯然反映了在當今中國一個越來越普遍的社會現象——快速增長的教育費用和農村人口的微薄收入之家的差別。一方面，這個問題部分歸咎于現有的財富分布不均。有時候一個大學生一年的學費就相當于一個農村家庭一年的收入。另一方面，大學和其他的教育機構沒有通過各種各樣的融資工具來幫助來自貧困地區的學生。比如說，申請獎學金和貸款的程序都非常復雜、需要花很長時間，而學生們卻很難真正拿到錢。
我認為，政府應該改革教育系統，采取一些立竿見影的措施。降低學費和雜費被證明是對學生最有利的。此外，解決這個問題的根本措施在于在宏觀經濟的層面上進行一個大規模的改革，從而縮小貧富差距。
