范文：
The drawing shows a man who deposits a small amount of money into the bank and that turns out to be some fortune when he takes away the money later. One might think it is a bank advertisement, but in fact, as the subtitle suggests, it is a promotion that encourages all people to form the habit of exercising.
The artist uses this unique metaphor in order to endow us with the concept that, to habitually exercise s is like to deposit money bit by bit in the bank. If we manage to exercise every day for a considerable period of time, the habit would contribute invaluably to our health. I firmly believe that exercise should become a life-long pursuit, part and parcel of our life. In this way, not only will our longevity be greatly lengthened, the improvement and maintenance of health could also lead to a happier life.
At the eve of China’s hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, I think it is high time to launch a campaign spurring every citizen to exercise. Though being difficult at the beginning, we should be aware that exercise is a long-term investment that might benefit us even more than our anticipation.
譯文：
這幅圖刻畫了一個男人把一筆錢存入銀行，以后當他取出這筆錢的時候已經是一筆不小的財富了。我們可能會以為這是一個銀行的廣告，但是實際上題目暗示了這是在鼓勵人們養成鍛煉身體的好習慣。
通過這個獨特的比喻，作畫者意在讓我們接受這樣的一個概念，即鍛煉身體的習慣就像往銀行中一點點地存錢。如果我們堅持在一段時間里每天鍛煉，這個習慣對于我們健康的貢獻將是無價的。而且我堅信鍛煉是一項一生都應該堅持的事情，是我們生活的一個重要組成部分。這不僅能夠延長人們的壽命，而且健康的改進和保持會給人們帶來一個更加幸福快樂的生活。
因此，在北京舉辦2008年奧運會的前夕，我認為這是一個非常好的時機發起全民健身的熱潮。盡管堅持這個習慣在一開始比較困難，但是我們應該相信鍛煉是一種一生的投資，我們可能得到比我們預期更多的收獲。
